Abstract
The formation of the complex between alendronate, non-chromophoric bisphosphonate drug important for the treatment of a variety of bone diseases, and iron(III) chloride in perchloric acid solution was studied. The stoichiometric ratio of alendronate to Fe(III) ions in the chromophoric complex was determined to be 1:1. The conditional stability constant was logK'(ave)=4.50(SD=0.15), indicating that the Fe(III)-alendronate complex is a complex of medium stability. The optimum conditions for this reaction were ascertained and a spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of alendronate in the concentration range 8.1-162.5 microg ml(-1), the detection limit being 2 microg ml(-1). The method was validated for the direct determination of alendronate in tablet dosage formulations.Entities:
