title: Quantification of Pharmaceutical Compounds Based on Powder X-Ray Diffraction with Chemometrics.
abstract: We propose an approach for the simultaneous determination of multiple components in pharmaceutical mixed powder based on powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) method coupled with chemometrics. Caffeine anhydrate, acetaminophen and lactose monohydrate were mixed at various ratios. The samples were analyzed by PXRD method in the ranges of 2θ=5.00-30.0 and 35.0-45.0 degrees. Obtained diffractograms were analyzed by conventional peak intensity method, multi curve resolution (MCR)-alternating least squares (ALS) method and partial least squares (PLS) method. Constructed PLS models can most accurately predict the concentrations among different methods used. Each regression vector of PLS correlates not only to the compound of interest but also to the coexisting compounds. The combination of PXRD and PLS methods is concluded to be powerful approach for analyzing multi components in pharmaceutical formulations.
