Abstrakt: An ultraviolet-derivative spectrophotometric method (UV-D) has been proposed as an alternative to a previously described liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the quantitative determination of ritonavir in soft gelatin capsules. The spectrophotometric method is based on recording the second-derivative spectra for ritonavir at 222.3 nm of its solutions in methanol. The linear dynamic range was 10.0-30.0 µg · mL-1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995. Mean recoveries were between 99.2% and 100.2% for the tested capsules samples. Mean intra- and interassay relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 2.0%. The statistic analysis showed that LC and UV-D methods were equivalent to assay ritonavir capsules.
