Abstract
The cycle-closed dimer of amoxicillin influences its critical quality and is an important impurity in amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets. The quality of the tablets could be rapidly evaluated using the impurity as an indicator. Here, we report a quantitative model to determine the cycle-closed dimer in samples from different manufacturers using diffuse reflectance near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy by partial least squares regression for one y variable (PLS1) and hierarchical cluster analysis. Because the contents of the (active pharmaceutical ingredients) APIs (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium) and water are also the important indexes of the tablet quality, three other quantitative models were used to confirm the API data and water content. All of the four models facilitate rapid and complete control of the tablet quality. In addition, quantitative models were validated in terms of specificity, linearity, accuracy, repeatability, and intermediate precision according to the International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines by evaluating the characteristics of the NIR spectra. These results confirmed that the models were satisfactory.
