Three simple, precise and economical methods for UV have been developed for determination of Methotrexate in bulk formulation. Method A involves measurement of UV absorbance in Zero order derivative and Method B involves first order derivative are at 302and264nm respectively. Method C deals with Area Under Curve measurement (AUC method), which involves the calculation of integrated value of absorbance with wavelength range between 297-305nm. The drug follows Beer-Lambert’s law in the concentration range of 10-50μg/ml in all three methods. Results of analysis were validated statistically and found to be satisfactory. Thus proposed method scan be successfully applied for estimation of Methotrexate in routine analytical work.
