    Abstract:
    A spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of oxytetracycline in pharmaceutical preparations. The method is based on the measurement of the absorbance of the molybdate-oxytetracycline complex at 404 nm (pH 5.50; mu = 0.1 M; 20 degrees C). The composition of the complex (1:1) was determined by the application of the spectrophotometric methods of Job and Bent-French (pH 5.50; lambda = 390 nm; mu = 0.1 M). The relative stability constant (K' = 10(4.6) of the complex was obtained by the methods of Sommer and Nash (pH 5.50; lambda = 390 nm; mu = 0.1 M; 20 degrees C). The molar absorptivity of the complex was 9.5 x 10(3) l mol-1 cm-1. Beer's law was obeyed over the concentration range 2.48-34.78 micrograms ml-1. The relative standard deviation RSD (n = 10) was 0.27-0.39%. The method proposed can be applied to the assay of oxytetracycline in capsules. The detection limit of oxytetracycline is 2.5 micrograms ml-1.
