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 />
