Multivariate evaluation of doxorubicin surface-enhanced Raman spectra

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc. 2001 Aug;57(9):1907-15. doi: 10.1016/s1386-1425(01)00453-x.

Abstract

Multivariate evaluation of surface-enhanced Raman spectra of doxorubicin in plasma was performed. In a principal component analysis (PCA) all spectral features were modelled into three principal components. The major variation of the data was shown to be the variation of doxorubicin Raman signal together with the doxorubicin fluorescence, whereas the variation due to plasma was of minor importance. It was also shown that the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements were independent on such factors as measurement occasion and silver colloids. The presented results show that with some improvements, quantification of doxorubicin directly in plasma could be possible.
