Abstract:

A simple, accurate and reproducible visible spectrophotometric method was developed for the estimation of cefepime in pure and vial formulation. Cefepime with 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene in presence of dimethyl sulfoxide at 45oC have formed a yellow colored complex having maximum absorbance at 420nm.The calibration graph was linear in the range 20µg/ml to50µg/ml.
