Simultaneous quantification of artesunate and mefloquine in fixed-dose combination tablets by multivariate calibration with middle infrared spectroscopy and partial least squares regression

Abstract: BackgroundMalaria is one of the most lethal and life-threatening infectious diseases in the world, causing more than half a million deaths annually. Treatment with mefloquine and artesunate is currently recommended by the World Health Organization, and was historically the first artemisinin-based combination therapy used clinically for treatment of Plasmodium falciparum. The problem of poor-quality medicines, such as counterfeit and sub-standard anti-malarials, is a worldwide issue; therefore, it is essential … Show more

“…PLS was applied for the simultaneous quantitative determination of paracetamol and tramadol in paracetamol-tramadol tablets (108) and for the analysis of a binary mixture tablet containing bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide (109) from UV spectrophotometric data. A method based on diffuse reflectance, middle infrared spectroscopy and PLS was used for simultaneous quantification of artesunate and mefloquine in tablets (110).…”

“…Previous studies on near IR with partial least squares regression (PLSR) models were developed for the determination of artesunate and azithromycin in co-formulation of hard gelatin capsule [ 19 ] and fix-dose combination of anti-tuberculosis tablets (rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol) [ 20 ]. FTIR with PLSR pretreated raw data by first derivative and Savitzky–Golay smoothing followed by mean centring was employed for the quantitative analysis of combined anti-malaria formulations of artesunate and mefloquine [ 21 ]. In addition, Raman spectroscopy with principal component regression (PCR) was employed to quantify dipyrone (metamizole) in oral solutions [ 22 ].…”

“…The benefits of an alternative analytical method include but are not limited to; an easier method for preparation, a more specific means for of analysis, lower costs, faster analysis, methods that are more environmentally friendly, and can provide results with better accuracy and precision. Simultaneously qualitative and quantitative analysis by Fourier Transform Infrared has already been successfully implemented in several areas of industrial pharmacy (Marson et al, 2016). The Fourier Transform Infrared is simple, specific, cheap, fast, and a green method.…”
