Abstract

Two new sensitive and precise spectrophotometric methods have been proposed and developed for the simultaneous estimation of lamivudine and stavudine in pure mixture and in pharmaceutical binary dosage forms. A new concept of area under curve (AUC) is proposed for simultaneous estimation of two drugs by these methods. Method A involves the use of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as analytical reagent and the AUC between 390 nm and 690 nm for DDQ was used for determination. Method B involves the use of p-chloranilic acid: 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (p-CA) as an analytical reagent and the AUC between 400 and 700 nm for p-chloranilic acid was used for determination. The methods developed and construction of calibration curves using two analytical reagents viz., DDQ and p-chloranilic acid are described. Optical and analytical parameters for the individual and simultaneous determination of lamivudine and stavudine using AUC are tabulated. The methods have been validated and compared with HPLC methods in terms of standard deviation, t-test and F-test.
