Abstract

Objective: The current work is intended towards the development of a novel, simple, and precise UV spectrophotometric method for the estimation of teriflunomide (TEF) present in the marketed formulation.

Methods: Acetonitrile was used as asolvent and the absorbance of the drug was measured at the absorbance maxima of TEF, UV 284 nm.

Results: Calibration curve plotted in concentration range 5-10 µg /ml exhibited excellent linear relationship with line equation y = 0.0858x-0.0223 and r2 value of 0.9996. The method was found to comply all the validation parameters as per the ICH guideline indicating the sensitivity of the method towards analyte.

Conclusion: The method can be used satisfactorily for the routine analysis of TEF present in marketed formulation.
