title: Kinetic method for the assay of levodopa in pharmaceutical preparations.
abstract: A simple, rapid and accurate method for the analysis of levodopa using integral method, is described. The spectrophotometric measurements were recorded by measuring the increase in absorbance at 470 nm, when L-dopa was reacted with potassium iodate at room temperature. The kinetic parameters were calculated. The concentration range was valid from 60-700 ppm. The proposed kinetic method has been applied successfully to pharmaceutical preparations.
