Assay of Atorvastatin (UV-VIS) Spectrophotometric Method


Preparation of Standard Solution :  Take 10mg. of Atorvastatin Calcium Trihydrade in a 100ml volumetric flask, add 50ml of Methanol and sonicate , dilute to volume with the same solvent. Transfer 5ml of this solution in a 50ml Volumetric flask and dilute to volume with methanol.

Preparation of Sample Solution : Crush 20 tablets finely and weigh an amount of powder tablet containing 10mg of Atotvastatin Calcium Trihydrade in a 100ml Volumetric Flask ,add 50ml Methanol and sonicate , dilute to Volume with methanol and filter. Transfer 5ml of the filtrate in a 50ml volumetric flask and make volume with methanol.

Measure the absorbance of the resulting solutionat the maximum wavelength at 247nm,using a methanol as blank.

Calculation :
                        
                                Absorbance of sample x weight of standard
% of Atorvastatin = …………………………………………… X Potency of Standard                   
                                 Absorbance of Std.x Weght of sample x 1.084
