Abstract

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of 15 sulphonamides in bulk and in dosage forms is described. The method is based on the interaction of p-benzoquinone with sulphonamides in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. The resulting chromophore is measured at 500 nm. The effects of different variables on colour development were established. Beer's law was obeyed in a concentration range of 10-50 micrograms ml-1. Results from the analysis of different sulphonamide tablets and ophthalmic solutions marketed locally were in good agreement with that of a reference method. Correlations between A1cm(1%) and certain physical parameters such as pKa values, characteristic volume Vx, and molecular connectivity indices 1X and 1Xv were determined by linear regression equations. A poor correlation was found between A1cm(1%) and bulkiness parameters but a highly significant negative correlation was obtained with apparent pKa values.
