Abstract
Photodegradation of solutions of metronidazole in the presence and absence of sodium urate was studied. Photodegradation appeared to follow zero-order kinetics and was found to be dependent on the pH, buffer species, sodium urate concentration, and light source. Complex formation between metronidazole and sodium urate accounted for the photostabilization of metronidazole. The dissociation constant for this complex was calculated to be 3.4 x 10(-3) M.Entities:
