Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a quantitative analysis of indomethacin crystal type
γ content in glucosamine and indometacin enteric-coated tablets by powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD).
METHODS The fine scanning method was adopted. The scan range was 9-12°, the scan speed was 5 s per step and the step size was 0.02°.
RESULTS The linear equation was
y=13 728
x+1 131(
r=0.990 8). The detection limit was 21.2 mg·g
-1(
S/N=4.6). The content of indomethacin crystal type
γ in glucosamine and indometacin enteric-coated capsules was 45.73%-50.40%.
CONCLUSION The method was simple in operation, which can be used for quantitative analysis of indomethacin crystal type
γ content in glucosamine and indometacin enteric-coated tablets while no interference with excipient. It could be a rapid detection method for control crystal type
γ content.
