%0 Journal Article %T Spectrophotometric determination of fluocortolone in tablets using 1,4-dihydrazinophthalazine %A OLIVERA CUDINA %A SOTE VLADIMIROV %A DOBRILA ZIVANOV-STAKIC %A DANICA AGBABA %J Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society %D 2000 %I Serbian Chemical Society %X The proposed method for the determination of fluocortolone is based on the formation of a stable, yellow coloured hydrazone product with 1,4-dihydrazinophthalazine as the reagent. Heating at 85¡ãC for 2 h was found to be necessary to ensure optimal hydrazone formation in acidified 1-propanol as the solvent. The detection limit was 1.2 ¦Ìg/ml. This method when applied for the determination of fluocortolone in pharmaceutical formulations gave precise and reproducible results. %K fluocortolone %K 1 %K 4-dihydrazinophthalazine %K tablets %K spectrophotometry %U http://www.shd.org.yu/HtDocs/SHD/Vol65/No9-Pdf/JSCS9-05.pdf
