%0 Journal Article %T METHOD VALIDATION OF METAXALONE DRUG BY USING UV SPECTROSCOPY %A Narasimha Rao R1* %J International Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences %D 2011 %I International Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences %X Ultraviolet spectroscopy deals with the measurement of energy absorbed when electrons are promoted to higher energy levels. On passing electromagnetic radiation in the Ultraviolet and visible regions through a compound with multiple bonds, a portion of the radiation is normally absorbed by the compound. The objective of validation of an analytical procedure is to demonstrate that it is suitable for its intended purpose. A tabular summation of the characteristics applicable to identification, control of impurities and assay procedures is included. The Skelaxin tablets containing 400 mg of Metaxalone was purchased from ATLANTA pharmacy U.S.A for method validation by using UV Spectroscopy method analysis. %K Metaxalone %K Method Validation %K UV- Spectroscopy %U http://www.ijpbs.com/data/JULY-SEPT%202011/284-302.pdf
