Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods for determination of Racecadotril.

Two accurate and sensitive spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for determination of Racecadotril. In the first method reduction of Fe3+ into Fe2+ in presence of o-phenanthroline by Racecadotril to form a stable orange-red ferroin chelate [Fe-(Phen)3]2+ was the basis for its determination. The absorbance at 510 nm was measured and linear correlation was obtained in the concentration range of 2.
