Estimation and validation of visible spectrophotometric method for confirmation studies on amoxicillin trihydrate of expired and non-expired in pharmaceutical dosage form
Abstract
Amoxicillin trihydrate is that the 4-hydroxy analog of ampicillin significantly used for the infections caused by
pathogenic bacteria. The present investigation states that the study of antibacterial activity and spectrophotometric
analysis with both expired and non-expired medication. The microorganisms were used for the antibacterial activity
which was done by agar well diffusion method. Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescence bacteria were given the
high cytotoxic effect in both expired and non-expired drugs of amoxicillin trihydrate were Streptococci aureus given
the less inhibition zone once compare with gram -positive bacterium. The easy and precise spectrophotometric
method was done to develop and validate the estimation of both expired and non-expired amoxicillin trihydrate in
the dosage of 250mg.The calibration curves were formed in the concentration range of 10-80μg/ml. The correlation
coefficient, linearity, LOD, LOQ and RSD values were found for both expired and non-expired drugs.
