A novel and simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of Captopril with sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate is established in this paper. The detailed reaction mechanism is proposed and discussed. It is based on the fact that captopril can catalyze the reaction between sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate and hydroxyl ion to form 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone in buffer solution of pH 13.00. Beer's law is obeyed in a range of 0.642013;80 μg mL2212;1 at the maximal absorption wavelength of 442 nm. The equation of linear regression is A = 0.05815 + 0.00589C (μg mL2212;1), with a linear regression correlation coefficient of 0.9981. The detection limit is 0.3 μg mL2212;1, R.S.D. is 0.77 % and the recovery rate is in range of 96.02013;103.8 % . Furthermore, the method has been validated and successfully applied to the determination of captopril in pharmaceutical samples.
