Abstract  Two innovative, new, simple and low cost UV-spectrophotometric and first order derivative methods were developed and validated for estimationof Galantamine Hydrobromide in bulk drug and tablet dosage form. Galantamine Hydrobromide was estimated at 289 nm in Distilled Water. In first order derivative, it showed amplitude at 284.8 nm and λ minima = 290.4 nm with 286.4 nm as zero crossing point (ZCP). In both the methods linearity was found to be in the range of 20-100 μ g/ml; for UV spectrophotometric method (y = 0.007x - 0.002, r² = 0.999) and for first order derivative spectrophotometric method (Y=0.0012 x+0.00045; r2=0.999), respectively. These methods were analyzed and valiated for various validation parameters according to USP guidelines

In both the methods linearity was found to be in the range of 20-100 µg/ml; for UV spectrophotometric method (y = 0.007x - 0.002, r² = 0.999) and for first order derivative spectrophotometric method (Y=0.0012 x+0.00045; r2=0.999), respectively. These methods were analyzed and validated for various validation parameters according to USP guidelines. The quantitation limits were found to be 0.50 and 1.54 µg/ml, for UV-Spectrophotometric method and 3.3 and 10 µg/ml for the 1st order derivative method. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the determination of Galantamine Hydrobrom...
