Determination of Transdermal Osmolality of Metoprolol Tartrate by Second-order Derivative UV Spectrophotometry in Vitro / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To establish the Second-order Derivative UV-spectrophotometry for the determination of transdermal osmolality of metoprolol tartrate (MP)in vitro.METHODS:The quantitation of the vibration amplitude (?A)between the characteristic valley and the characteristic peak of MP appeared at 224nm and 234nm in UV-scanning.RESULTS:The linear concentration range of metoprolol tartrate was 5～60?g/ml,the average recovery was 98.89%with average RSD at 2.05%.CONCLUSION:This method can accurately determine the transdermal osmolality of MP in vitro yet without the interference of skin exudates,its operation is simple and fast and the results are accurate and reliable.
