This journal article describes three methods for determining two mixtures containing drotaverine hydrochloride: 1) HPLC separation and UV detection, 2) partial least squares chemometrics assisted spectrophotometry, and 3) principal component regression chemometrics assisted spectrophotometry. These methods were validated using internal validation, crossvalidation, and external validation on laboratory mixtures and pharmaceutical preparations. The results of the chemometrics methods agreed well with the HPLC method.
