Abstract

A simple and direct spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of some cephalosporin group antibiotic drugs such as Loracarbef (Lora), Ceftazidime (Ceft), and Cefaclor (Cefa) in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. The optimum conditions for the analysis of aqueous solutions of drugs are studied. Under the optimum conditions, the three drugs could be assayed in the concentration range 2-9 × 10 -5, 2-6 × 10 -5, and 3-9 × 10 -5 M for Lora, Ceft and Cefa, respectively. Detection and quantification limits are calculated. The obtained results showed good recoveries of 100.4, 107.4, and 100.7% for Lora, Ceft, and Cefa, respectively. The results obtained are compared favorably with those given by literature methods.
