    Abstract: An extractive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of buspirone HCl in tablets. It was based on the ion-pair complex formation between buspirone and bromothymol blue in presence of disodium hydrogen phosphate and citric acid buffer solution of pH 4.0 which is extractable in chloroform. The extracted complex showed maxi... Show More
