Abstract:
A simple, sensitive and accurate spectrophotometric method was developed for the assay of gatifloxacin in raw material and tablets. Validation of the method yielded good results concerning range, linearity, precision and accuracy. The absorbance was measured at 287 nm for gatifloxacin tablet solutions. The linearity range was found to be 4.0-14.0 microg/mL for gatifloxacin. It was also found that the excipients in the commercial tablets did not interfere with the method.
