ABSTRACT: Simple, sensitive and specific spectrophotometric method were developed and validated for quantification of CAPECITABINE (CAP) by difference spectroscopy. CAP exhibits a substantial difference in absorbance in the two solvents that is in 0.01 N HCL and 0.01 N NAOH at 295 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 1 to 20 μg ml-1for CAP. Results of tablet analysis showed standard deviation in the range of 98.42 to 101.95 % for CAP which indicate repeatability of the method. The results indicated excellent recoveries ranging from 98.45 to 101.70 % for CAP with a mean of 99.12 %. Recoveries obtained do not differ significantly from 100% showed that there was no interference from the common excipients used in the tablet formulation indicating accuracy and reliability of the method.
