Abstract---It was noticed from the standard databases such as
Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, etc. that a limited UV-Vis
spectrophotometric method has been reported for estimating
Sorafenib (SOR), but no sophisticated analytical methods have been
ever reported in any database for estimating SOR in nanoparticles.
The present research involved the establishment of an economic,
accurate, robust, and precise analytical method for the quantitative
determination of SOR in bulk and nanoparticles utilizing a new
validated spectrophotometric method. The spectrophotometric
analysis was carried out using double-beam ultraviolet-visible
spectrophotometer was employed in developing a new method using
methanol and water at a ratio of 80:20 v/v and λmax of 265 nm. The
technique was verified using the Q2A and Q2B guidelines of ICH. The
newly developed UV-Vis method had desired linearity over the range of
2-12 μg/mL; along with excellent precision, accuracy, ruggedness,
and robustness characteristics as observed from % RSD values of less
than 2. The present study concluded that the developed UV-Vis
method has desired linearity, precision, accuracy, ruggedness, and
robustness, and will serve as an excellent technique for the
determination of sorafenib in both bulk and nanoparticles without the
interference of commonly used chemicals or solvents.
Keywords---sorafenib, ultraviolet visible, bulk, nanoparticles.
