ABSTRACT

Simple, sensitive, economical analytical methods are described for the determination of Atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide in bulk and tablet formulations. In the present investigation, 4M Ammonium acetate solution (Hydrotropic agent) was employed to solubilizing, Atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide (a poorly water soluble drug), from fine powder of its tablets to carryout spectrophotometric analysis. The proposed methods namely simultaneous equation method (Method 1) and absorbance ratio method (Method-2). λmax for Atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide is 224.5 nm and 272.5 nm respectively. Both Atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide obey Beer’s law in the concentration range of 10-50 μg/ml (r2=0.9992) and 5-25 μg/ml (r2=0.9994) in 4 M Ammonium acetate (Hydrotropic agent) respectively.

Keywords:
