Abstract
An empirical spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of the antiemetic ondansetron is carried out. The method is based on the formation of a 1:1 ion pair with bromocresol green in the pH range over 3.2 – 4.4, extraction into chloroform layer and spectrophotometric measurement at 420.8 nm. The calibration graph is linear over the range 0.1 – 20 μg ml−1 ondansetron, with a relative standard deviation of 2.7%; the influence of foreign substances is also studied. The method is applied to ondansetron determination in human urine.
