Spectrophotometric Determination of Chlorpromazine and Levomepromazine Hydrochlorides In Injectables and Drops By Reaction With Ferric Ion

Abstract
The principal aim of this research was the standardization of a spectrophotometric method using the reaction with ferric ion for quantitative determination of these substances in pharmaceutical preparations. By reaction with ferric ion chlorpromazine gave a pink compound with maximum absorption at 525 nm. the violet product obtained by the reaction with ferric ion and levomepromazine had a maximum at 565 nm. Beer's law was obeyed in a wide range of concentrations for both compounds. the method was applied to simulated and commercially available samples. the efficiency of the method was confirmed by recovery tests.
