Abstract

A simple, sensitive, and selective kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of kanamycin in pure form and pharmaceutical formulations is described. The method is based on the measurement of the intensity of the yellow chromogen formed by the reaction between kanamycin and acetylacetone- formaldehyde reagent in a N,N'-dimethyl formamide medium. The variable-time method was used to evaluate the rate of reaction of the colored chromogen formed at 410 nm. The reaction conditions were optimized and the calibration graph was found to be linear in the range 60-160 μg/mL. The results obtained by the developed and reference methods are in good agreement. Various statistical parameters were evaluated to establish the precision, accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of the proposed method.
