SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF AMETRIDIONE AND IN ITS COMMERCIAL FORMULATIONS

A simple, précis, rapid sensitive and accurate spectrophoptometric methods have been developed for the estimation of Ametridione in pure form and its formulations and Spiked vegetables and water samples. This method is based on oxidative coupling of Ametridione with MBTH in the presence of Ferric chloride to form green colored product with Maximum of 615nm. The product obeyed beers law in the concentration range 0.5-3 ml (5-30 µgml-1 ) with molar absorptivity of 1.001x104 . Sandel's sensitivity 0.004945. The assay of results was found to be good agreement with label claim.
