Abstract:
A method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of spironolactone and canrenone in urine based on the different rates at which they react with sulphuric acid to yield a trienone. Kinetic spectrophotometric data are processed by partial least-squares (PLS) regression. The optimum sulphuric acid concentration and temperature are determined from response surfaces, using PLS methodology to relate both variables to the relative square error of prediction (RSEP, the parameter to be minimized). The relative errors made in the quantitation of each diuretic by the proposed method are less than 5% and the overall error, as RSEP, ranges from 1.06 and 1.44%.

Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
