SISTEMAS ALTERNATIVOS DE CALIBRAÇÃO PARA DETERMINAÇÃO ESPECTROFOTOMÉTRICA SIMULTÂNEA DE ESPÉCIES COM INTERFERÊNCIA ESPECTRAL

Two simple and efficient procedures have been developed for the rapid simultaneous determination of compounds with mutual spectral interference (rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH)). The first method was based on the UV–Vis spectral signal (190–600 nm) of synthetic RIF and INH aqueous solutions, whereas the second method involved the visible spectral signal registered between 350 and 800 nm after the reaction of INH with a Cu2+/neocuproine complex. Both multivariate spectrophotometric methods show excellent prevision capacity, providing results that are statistically equivalent with those provided by the standard chromatographic procedure. The methods were validated according to criteria established by ANVISA, showing precision, accuracy and robustness compatible with the requirements for new analytical methods, additionally allowing the reduction of waste generation.
