Visible spectrophotometric estimation of diacerein in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms.
Two simple, sensitive, accurate, rapid, and economical spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the estimation of diacerein in Pharmaceutical dosage forms. Method A is based on the reaction of diacerein with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, in the presence of 0.5 N sodium hydroxide solution, giving a pink-colored chromogen, which shows maximum absorbance at 512 nm against reagent blank, while method B is based on the oxidation of diacerein with potassium permanganate in an alkaline medium giving a pink-colored chromogen, which shows maximum absorption at 497.5 nm. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range of 4 - 20 µg/ml for both methods A and B. Results of the analysis were validated statistically, and by recovery studies.
