摘要
This paper aimed at developing a simple and fast approach using chemometrics processing for direct assay of acyclovir in tablets by NIR （near infrared） spectroscopy in diffuse reflectance mode. In making trials with 5 different tablet matrices, the experimental results showed that regardless the matrix variation, it was always possible to construct a quantitative model with suitable linear range, accuracy and precision for direct assay of acyclovir in tablet from NIR spectra. Therefore, the approach used in this study was suitable for on-site fast assay of APIs in tablets during manufacturing process or in post-marketing surveillance of drug quality.
