A simple and sensitive visible spectro photometric method has been developed for the quantitative estimation of<br />

Darifenacin hydrobromide in bulk drugs and pharmaceutical dosage forms. It involves diazotization of Darifenacin<br />

hydrobromide by sodium nitrite in acidic medium followed by complexation with starch \ KI reagent to yield a bluish -<br />

purple colored complex, which shows maximum absorption at 620 nm against distilled water as blank. The results of<br />

the analysis were found to be 99.67% and 98.95 % for assay with a % RSD ranging from 0.301-0.422 %. The mean %<br />

recovery for formulation first is 99.36 ± 0.491% and for that of second formulation is 99.78 ± 0.235%.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

Darifenacin hydrobromide (s)-2-{1-[2-(2, 3dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)ethyl<br />

3-pyrolidine}-2diphenyl<br />

acetamide hydrobromide (Figure 1), is a novel muscarinic<br />

receptor antagonist developed for the treatment of<br />

overactive bladder (OAB). Overactive bladder is<br />

characterized by symptoms of increased frequency of<br />

micturition, urgency and urge incontinence [1]. The<br />

symptomatic treatment of the urge incontinence and/or<br />

increased urinary frequency and urgency as may occur in<br />

patients with overactive bladder syndrome using<br />

Darifenacin hydrobromide is also studied [2].<br />

Darifenacine hydrobromide is a potent inhibitor for the<br />

contractile responses of induced over active bladder. In this<br />

study twenty four male and female rabbits were utilized. It<br />

showed equal potency in both sexes and had no side effects<br />

such as effect on blood pressure etc [3]. Darifenacine<br />

hydrobromide displays up to 59-fold selectivity for M3<br />

receptors relative to other muscarinic receptor subtypes in<br />

vitro [4] .<br />

No reports were found in the literature for the quantitative<br />

estimation of Darifenacin hydrobromide by HPLC,<br />

HPTLC and spectrophotometry. In the present work, a<br />

simple and sensitive visible spectrophotometric method has<br />

been developed for the quantitative estimation of<br />

Darifenacin hydrobromide in bulk drug and<br />

Pharmaceutical dosage forms.<br />

The instrument used in the present study was JASCO<br />

double beam UV-Visible spectrophotometer (Model V-550)<br />

with slit width fixed at 2 nm connected to a computer with<br />

spectra manager software. All weighing were done on<br />

electronic balance (Model Shimdzu AY 120).<br />

Starch/KI reagent (1 g of starch and 0.5 g of KI added to 20<br />

mL of distilled water, heated till clear, transferred to 50 mL<br />

volumetric flask and volume made up to 50 mL with distilled<br />

water). The commercially available tablets of Darilong 7.5<br />

and Darilong 15 tablets were procured from a local<br />

pharmacy. Darifenacin hydrobromide (analyzed sample) as<br />

provided by Ranbaxy limited was used as such without<br />

further purification.<br />
