API Content and Blend Uniformity Using Quantum Cascade Laser Spectroscopy Coupled with Multivariate Analysis. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13070985. [PMID: 34209940 PMCID: PMC8309115 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13070985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The process analytical technology (PAT) initiative proposed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggests innovative methods to better understand pharmaceutical processes. The development of analytical methods that quantify active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in powders and tablets is fundamental to monitoring and controlling a drug product's quality. Analytical methods based on vibrational spectroscopy do not require sample preparation and can be implemented during in-line manufacturing to maintain quality at each stage of operations. In this study, a mid-infrared (MIR) quantum cascade laser (QCL) spectroscopy-based protocol was performed to quantify ibuprofen in formulations of powder blends and tablets. Fourteen blends were prepared with varying concentrations from 0.0% to 21.0% (w/w) API. MIR laser spectra were collected in the spectral range of 990 to 1600 cm-1. Partial least squares (PLS) models were developed to correlate the intensities of vibrational signals with API concentrations in powder blends and tablets. PLS models were evaluated based on the following figures of merit: correlation coefficient (R2), root mean square error of calibration, root mean square error of prediction, root mean square error of cross-validation, and relative standard error of prediction. QCL assisted by multivariate analysis was demonstrated to be accurate and robust for analysis of the content and blend uniformity of pharmaceutical compounds.

Yao D, Wen G, Gong L, Li C, Liang A, Jiang Z. A Highly Sensitive SERS and RRS Coupled Di-Mode Method for CO Detection Using Nanogolds as Catalysts and Bifunctional Probes. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 10:E450. [PMID: 32131528 PMCID: PMC7153473 DOI: 10.3390/nano10030450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2020] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a commonly poisonous gas. It is important to detect CO in daily life. Herein, a new and sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) coupled di-mode method was developed for CO, based on gold nano-enzyme catalysis and gold nanoprobes. CO can react with HAuCl4 to generate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in pH 5.2 HAc-NaAc buffer. The generated AuNPs exhibited SERS activity at 1620 cm-1 in the presence of Vitoria blue B (VBB) molecular probes, and an RRS peak at 290 nm. Based on the AuNP bifunctional probes, the increased SERS and RRS intensities respond linearly with the concentration of CO in the range of 100-1500 ng/mL and 30-5230 ng/mL, respectively. To improve the sensitivity, the produced AuNPs were used as nano-enzyme catalysts for the new indicator reaction of HAuCl4-ethanol (En) to amplify the signal. The sensitive SERS method was coupled with the accurate RRS method to develop a sensitive and accurate SERS/RRS di-mode method for determination of 3.0-413 ng/mL CO, based on the AuNP-HAuCl4-En nanocatalytic reaction and its product of AuNPs as SERS and RRS bifunctional probes.

Simultaneous multi-gas detection between 3 and 4μm based on a 2.5-m multipass cell and a tunable Fabry-Pérot filter detector. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2019; 216:154-160. [PMID: 30889436 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2019.03.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2019] [Revised: 03/04/2019] [Accepted: 03/10/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
We demonstrated a versatile and innovative gas sensing system based on a Fabry-Pérot (FP) filter detector, which operates in the spectral range from 3.1 to 4.4μm (3226-2273cm-1) with a spectral resolution of 20nm. The developed sensor system can be used to record the entire spectrum by means of a one-time scan or, alternatively, to access selected spectral regions by using the tunable FP filter detector. A multipass cell with an effective path length of 2.5m was implemented to improve the detection sensitivity. The spectra of methane, formaldehyde and carbon dioxide were simultaneously measured, with detection limits of 200ppm, 900ppm and 20ppm, respectively. A seven-day continuous measurement for indoor carbon dioxide gas was carried out demonstrating the stability and robustness of the reported sensor system.
