A simple, sensitive, selective rapid spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of post synaptic α 1-Adrino receptor antagonist Methotrexate in pure form and pharmaceutical formulations based on the oxidative coupling reaction with MBTH reagent, at P H_ 4.0 which is extractable at 610 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration ranges 5-30 µg ml-1. The developed method was applied directly and easily for the analysis of the Pharmaceutical formulations. R.S.D was found

The repeatability and the performance of the proved method were established by point and internal hypothesis and through recovery studies.
