Chemometric analysis with principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) enabled accurate discrimination of individual compounds, mixtures, and tablet formulations, achieving 100% classification in leave-one-out cross-validation. The system showed high sensitivity to hydrazine, a toxic INH metabolite, detecting its formation under thermal stress and simulated in vitro metabolism. Furthermore, PMA-QDs distinguished between commercial INH tablet brands, demonstrating potential for quality control.
