<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Two spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the assay of lansoprazole (LPZ) in bulk drug and in dosage forms using ceric ammonium sulphate (CAS) and two dyes, methyl orange and indigo carmine, as reagents. The methods involve addition of a known excess of CAS to LPZ in acid medium, followed by determination of residual CAS by reacting with a fixed amount of either methyl orange, measuring the absorbance at 520 nm (method A), or indigo carmine, measuring the absorbance at 610 nm (method B). In both methods, the amount of CAS reacted corresponds to the amount of LPZ and the measured absorbance was found to increase linearly with the concentration of LPZ, which is corroborated by the correlation coefficients of 0.9979 and 0.9954 for methods A and B, respectively. The systems obey Beer's law for 0.5-7.0 μg mL-1 and 0.25-3.0 μg mL-1 for methods A and B, respectively. The apparent molar absorptivities were calculated to be 3.0 x 104 and 4.4 x 104 L mol-1 cm-1 for methods A and B, respectively. The limits of detection (<italic>LOD</italic>) and quantification (<italic>LOQ</italic>) were calculated to be 0.08 and 0.25 μg mL-1 for method A, and 0.09 and 0.27 μg mLs-1 for method B, respectively.
