    Abstract:
    Three spectrophotometric methods, based on a spectral analysis, are proposed for quantification of ranitidine hydrochloride (RHCl) in the presence of its decomposition product (R-ox) without isolation from the matrix. One of them is a zero-crossing derivative-spectrophotometry. A value of the first derivative at 332 nm generated by the Savitzky-Golay algorithm (delta lambda = 22 nm and the first polynomial degree) allows for quantification of RHCI in the concentration range 0.5-35.1 microg/mL. The second proposed spectrophotometric procedure, called Vierordt method, utilizes an additivity of the absorbance. The assay of studied compound was realized by the direct reading of absorbance at 312 nm and 202 nm for ranitidine hydrochloride and its decomposition product, respectively. The quantitative results were obtained by resolving of an appropriate system of equations. The third method is based on the bivariate calibration algorithm. The absorbance values were measured at optimum wavelengths found by Kaiser method at 228 nm and 202 nm and used for the quantification of RHCI in the presence of its decomposition product. The Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range 0.5-35.1 microg/mL for RHCl. The discussion of applicability of all elaborated methods is presented. The proposed methods were applied for assay of ranitidine hydrochloride contents in its preparation Ranigast and for investigation of kinetics of its reaction with hydrogen peroxide.
