Abstract

A selective spectrophotometric method is developed for the quantitative determination of levodopa. The proposed method is based on the interaction of levodopa with thiosemicarbazide in an alkaline medium to form a red coloured product. At the maximum absorption of 500 nm, Beer's law is adhered to over the 0-5-8 mg/ml range. Mglar absorptivity of the coloured product is 2.58 x 104. Job's indicates 1:2 ratio of levodopa to thiosemicarbazide. Resulrs of analysis of larodopa tablets by the proposed method agree well with those of U.S.P.XXI. The method is highly selective since a catecholic function with free adjacent positions is required.
