K. Molt et al., QUANTITATIVE NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROMETRY U SED FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CONTENT OF SENNOSIDES IN A PHYTOGENIC MATRIX, Die Pharmazie, 52(12), 1997, pp. 931-937
The sennoside content of a drug gained from Senna plants can be determ
ined directly by NIR-spectrometry by measuring the original products i
n diffuse reflection without further sample preparation. This however
requires a previous calibration with standards the concentrations of w
hich have to be determined by an adequate reference method. We show th
at HPLC is suitable for this purpose.
