The development and evaluation of an analytical technique for the UV spectroscopy based determination of Dorzolamide is the main focus of this study. Dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, is utilized to reduce intraocular pressure in the treatment of ocular hypertension and openangle glaucoma. The study involved establishing the maximum wavelength (λ_max) of Dorzolamide HCL as 253 nm, confirmed by UV spectra in different media. The method's validation included linearity testing, where a calibration curve exhibited a strong correlation (R²=0.9995) in simulated tear fluid. Accuracy studies demonstrated a high precision of 98%-100%, while precision tests, both intra-day and inter-day, indicated a %RSD of less than 2%, confirming the method's reliability. The method's sensitivity was assessed with Limit of Detection (LOD) and Quantification (LOQ) found as 0.37 μg/ml and 1.12 μg/ml, respectively. Robustness and ruggedness assessments further supported the method's reliability, with %RSD values within acceptable ranges. The developed UV spectroscopy method for Dorzolamide analysis exhibits excellent accuracy, precision, sensitivity and robustness, making it a valuable tool for pharmaceutical quality control.
