Derivative spectrophotometric, thin layer chromatographic-densitometric and high performance liquid chromatographic determination of trifluoperazine hydrochloride in presence of its hydrogen peroxide induced-degradation product.

Three methods are presented for the determination of trifluoperazine HCl in presence of its hydrogen peroxide induced degradation product. The first method was based on measurement of first (1D) and second (2D) derivative amplitudes of trifluoperazine HCl in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid at the zero crossing point of its sulfoxide derivative, main degradation product, (at 268.
