Microextraction-colorimetric determination and identification of penicillin antibiotics in medicines using a smartphone and chemometric analysis

Abstract

A fast and simple method for the determination of penicillin antibiotics in medicines is proposed, based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction of penicillin associates with methylene blue and measuring the colorimetric characteristics of the extracts using a smartphone and specialized software. As an analytical signal (Ar), we used the values of the colorimetric parameters in the RGB system. Methods for determining the content of penicillin G, V, oxacillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin and nafcillin in drugs have been developed. The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.2 and 0.6–0.8 µg/ml, respectively. The possibility of using chemometric analysis, which makes it possible to reduce the time and visualize research data, is shown. The data set was processed using principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), and k-means method using the XLSTAT software. The identification and quantitation of penicillin antibiotics concentration in tablet forms was carried out using chemometric analysis. Calibration characteristics are linear with approximation confidence coefficients ≥ 0.99. The relative standard deviation of the analysis results does not exceed 0.05. The duration of the analysis was 15–20 min.
