Abstract

A UV spectrophotometric method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of Artemether and Lumefantrine. The spectroscopic method for estimation of Artemether and Lumefantrine employed Area under curve method for analysis using Ethanol as solvent. Artemether has absorbance maxima 253.2 nm and Lumefantrine has absorbance maxima 235.2 nm and both these drugs obey Beer's law in concentration range of 4.24 -67.84 μg/ml for Artemether and 4.68 -28.08 μg/ml for Lumefantrine. The recovery studies ascertained the accuracy of the purposed method and the results were validated as per ICH guidelines. The results were found satisfactory and reproducible. The method was applied successfully for the estimation of Artemether and Lumefantrine in tablet dosage form without the interference of common excipients.
