“…4 Its mechanism of action is associated principally with the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis (specifically, inhibition of cyclooxygenase). 5,6 Different methods for the quantitative determination of these drugs in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids have been reported, including UV-vis spectroscopy, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] UV spectroscopy with chemometric analysis, [18][19][20] spectrofluorometry, [21][22][23][24] potentiometry, [25][26][27][28][29] chromatography, 30-37 electrophoresis capillary, [38][39][40][41][42] Fourier transform spectroscopy, 43 FT-Raman spectroscopy, 44 FT-Raman spectroscopy with chemometric analysis, 45 and sequential flow injection; 46,47 however, none of the above procedures is suitable for the simultaneous determination of amoxicillin trihydrate (AMT) and DIC in commercial tablet pharmaceutical preparations. The instrumental methods above mentioned are important referential methods, but are based on expensive analytical instruments, which are not available for laboratories that carry out routine quality controls and have low economic resources.…”
