Three simple accurate and sensitive UV spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the quantitative estimation of esomeprazole in bulk and its pharmaceutical formulations. In method I, 0.1 N sodium hydroxide was used as solvent. Esomeprazole shows maximum absorbance at 305 nm and obeysBeer-Lambert’s law in the concentration range of 5-30g/mL. Inmethod II, 10% DMF was used as solvent. Esomeprazole shows maximum absorbance at 302 nm and obeys Beer-Lambert’s law in the concentration range of 5-30g/mL. In method III, 20% methanol was used as solvent. Esomeprazole showsmaximumabsorbance at 300 nmand obeys linearity in the concentration range of 4-24g/mL. The methods were validated statistically for accuracy, precision and sensitivity.
