Determination of loratadine and pseudoephedrine sulfate in pharmaceuticals based on non-linear second-order spectrophotometric data generated by a pH-gradient flow injection technique and artificial neural networks

Loratadine (LOR) and pseudoephedrine sulfate (PES) were determined in pharmaceutical samples by using non-linear second-order data generated by a pH-gradient flow injection analysis (FIA) system with diode-array detection. Determination of both analytes was performed on the basis of differences betw...

Descripción
Sumario:Loratadine (LOR) and pseudoephedrine sulfate (PES) were determined in pharmaceutical samples by using non-linear second-order data generated by a pH-gradient flow injection analysis (FIA) system with diode-array detection. Determination of both analytes was performed on the basis of differences between the acid-base and spectral features of each drug species. Non-linearities were detected by using both qualitative and quantitative tools. As a consequence of the non-linearity, a recently reported algorithm, artificial neural networks followed by residual bilinearization (ANN/RBL), was shown to furnish more satisfactory results. Recoveries of 99.7% (LOR) and 95.6% (PES) were obtained when analyzing a validation set containing unexpected components (the usual excipients found in pharmaceutical preparations). The average value obtained by implementation of the method on four replicates was compared with that obtained by a reference method based on HPLC (difference not significant; p > 0.05).
