A near infrared spectroscopic method for the simultaneous determination of the active principles clarithromycin, tinidazole and omeprazole in a pharmaceutical preparation was developed. The three active principles are quantified using partial least-squares regression methods. The proposed method is applicable over a wide analyte concentration range (80-120%) of labeled content, so it requires careful selection of the calibration set and to ensure thorough homogenization of the product. The method was validated in accordance with the ICH standard validation guidelines for NIR spectroscopy by determining its selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision and stability. Based on the results, it is an effective alternative to the existing choice (HPLC) for the same purpose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
