Area Under Curve method (Method C)<br />
Malipatil S.M et al./ Validated UV-Spectrophotometric Estimation <strong>of</strong> Entecavir in Bulk and Formulations<br />
This method is applicable when there is no sharp peak or<br />
when broad spectra are obtained. It involves the calculation <strong>of</strong><br />
integrated value <strong>of</strong> absorbance with respect to the wavelength<br />
between two selected wavelengths λ 1 and λ 2.<br />
Area calculation<br />
processing item calculates the area bound by the curve and the<br />
horizontal axis. The horizontal axis is selected by entering<br />
wavelength range over which the area has to be calculated.<br />
This wavelength range is selected on the basis <strong>of</strong> repeated<br />
observations so as to get the linearity between area under<br />
10<br />
curve and concentration. For the selection <strong>of</strong> analytical<br />
wavelength, 10 μg/ml working standard solution was<br />
prepared by appropriate dilution <strong>of</strong> standard stock solution in<br />
double distilled water and double distilled water was used as<br />
blank solution. This solution was scanned in the spectrum<br />
mode from 400 nm to 200 nm (Fig. 4). From the spectra <strong>of</strong><br />
drug, area under the curve in the range <strong>of</strong> 258.0-248.0 nm<br />
was selected for the analysis. The calibration curve was<br />
plotted as AUC against concentration <strong>of</strong> standard stock<br />
solution (Graph 3). By using the calibration curve, the<br />
concentration <strong>of</strong> the sample solution can be determined.<br />
ESTIMATION OF ENTECAVIR FROM TABLET<br />
DOSAGE FORMS<br />
For the estimation <strong>of</strong> Entecavir in tablet formulation by three<br />
methods, 25 tablets <strong>of</strong> each brand were weighed and<br />
triturated to fine powder. Tablet powder equivalent to 25mg<br />
<strong>of</strong> Entecavir was weighed and dissolved and further dilution<br />
was carried out with quantity sufficient <strong>of</strong> double distilled<br />
water. This was then filtered through the Whatmann filter<br />
paper no. 41 to get the stock solution <strong>of</strong> concentration 100<br />
