Abstract

Two simple and sensitive extractive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of sildenafil citrate (SC) are proposed. The methods are based on the formation of ion-association complexes of sildenafil citrate with bromocresol green (BCG, method A) and with chromoxane cyanine R (CCR, method B) in aqueous acidic buffer. The complex species, extractable to chloroform phase, were quantitatively measured at 415 and 460 nm for methods A and B, respectively. Beer's law was obeyed in the SC concentration range 1.25–25 μg ml−1 with a limit of detection 0.16 μg ml−1 and 1.5–60 μg ml−1 with a limit of detection 0.18 μg ml−1, respectively, for methods A and B. The methods have been successfully applied to the analysis of bulk drug and its tablets. No interference was observed from common pharmaceutical adjuvants.
