title: Spectrofluorometric resolution of closely overlapping drug mixtures using chemometrics methods.
abstract: A modified parallel factors analysis (PARAFAC) algorithm with a penalty diagonalization error (PDE), newly proposed by the present authors, was utilized to simultaneously resolve drug mixtures of propranolol (PRO), dipyridamole (DIP) and amiloride (AMI) without any loss of sensitivity. The analyses were performed in aqueous solution. The experimental results demonstrated that the profiles of the spectra and the concentrations could be accurately resolved using the PDE algorithm with a high sensitivity and stable repeatability. That is to say, the closely overlapping problem of the spectra could be easily solved. Furthermore, simultaneous determinations of three kinds of tablets, which contain PRO, AMI and DIP, respectively, were successfully performed with satisfactory results.
