OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the content determination of naproxen in naproxen-?-cyclodextrin inclusion complex.METHODS:The drug concentration in naproxen-?-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was detected at the wavelength of330nm by using UV spectrophotometry.RESULTS:The linear range of naproxen was2.0~80.0mg/L(r=0.9995,n=5),the average recovery was99.22%(RSD=1.03%).CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and reliable,which can be used for the content determination of naproxen in naproxen-?-cyclodextrin inclusion complex.
