Simultaneous Quantification of Amorphous and Crystalline Valsartan in Tablets Using Raman Spectroscopy and Chemometrics Tools

Valsartan is an antihypertensive active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), it is used in the amorphous state in the commercial products. As amorphous materials are metastable, amorphous valsartan can crystallize to valsartan E, promoting changes in the dissolution and bioavailability of the drug. Tablets containing metastable forms of APIs need special conditions for transport and storage in order to avoid crystallization (from amorphous state) or polymorphic transitions (from less stable crystalline structures). A multivariate calibration model based on interval partial least squares (iPLS) reg...
