Abstract
People frequently administer Tizanidine (TIZ) to treat spasticity resulting from diseases like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries. It also helps prevent muscle spasms. It helps to relax and release tense and stiff muscles by inhibiting specific nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord. The technique employed in this study made use of the unique ability of benzofurazan to confer fluorescent character when reacted with TIZ at specific conditions. This fluorogenic property was harnessed to evolve a remarkably sensitive, affordable, and selective method to quantify TIZ. The resulting yellow fluorescent product was observedat a wavelength beam of 532.9 nm, and an excitation wavelength beam of 474.9 nm was applied. By looking at the response across the TIZ concentration, the calibration chart's linearity was assessed in the range of 40-500 ng/mL. By computation, the approach's detection level (LOD) was determined to be 11.9 ng/mL, while the quantitation level was approximated to be 36 ng/mL. All pertinent factors impacting the strategy's efficacy were thoroughly inspected and adjusted accordingly. The proposed strategy was validated following the guidelines outlined by the ICH. The outcomes confirmed the method's capability for the accurate quantifying of TIZ in tablets, spiked plasma, and pharmaceutical assessing content uniformity.

LUMINESCENCE 2024; 39:e4766.

Abstract
In this work, two validated approaches were used for estimating hydroxyzine HCl for the first time using resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and spectrofluorimetric techniques. The suggested approaches relied on forming an association complex between hydroxyzine HCl and 2,4,5,7-tetraiodofluorescein (erythrosin B) reagent in an acidic media. The quenching in the fluorescence intensity of 2,4,5,7-tetraiodofluorescein by hydroxyzine at 551.5 nm (excitation = 527.5 nm) was used for determining the studied drug by the spectrofluorimetric technique. The RRS approach is based on amplifying the RRS spectrum at 348 nm upon the interaction of hydroxyzine HCl with 2,4,5,7-tetraiodofluorescein. The spectrofluorimetric methodology and the RRS methodology produced linear results within ranges of 0.15-1.5 μg ml-1 and 0.1-1.2 μg ml-1, respectively. LOD values for these methods were determined to be 0.047 μg ml-1 and 0.033 μg ml-1, respectively. The content of hydroxyzine HCl in its pharmaceutical tablet was estimated using the developed procedures with acceptable recoveries. Additionally, the application of four greenness and whiteness algorithms shows that they are superior to the previously reported method in terms of sustainability, economics, analytical performance, and practicality.

Abstract
Principles of Green Analytical Chemistry recommended preferring using reagents from renewable sources and eliminating toxic reagents. Vachellia nilotica is a widespread plant throughout different parts of the world. In this study, using microwave energy, fluorescent carbon dots were synthesized for the first time from Vachellia nilotica pods. The morphology of the prepared carbon dots was characterized by SEM and TEM techniques, and the spectroscopic character exhibit green emission at 480 nm at λex = 386.5 nm. This fluorescence can be effectively quenched by adding Fe (III) ions (Method I). Furthermore, Vachellia nilotica pods were extracted by different solvents, including methanol, deionized water, absolute ethanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and DMF. The acetonitrile extract of Vachellia nilotica exhibited a strong red fluorescence emission at 673.9 at λex = 410 nm. Among various types of salt metals, only Fe (III) can effectively quench the fluorescence intensity of the acetonitrile extract (method II). Moreover, the bright yellow color of the aqueous extract can be changed into violet color. The absorbance of the resulted color can be spectrophotometrically measured at λ max = 530 nm (method III). The best analytical factors were optimized for the developed methods. The developed methods were applied to determine Fe (III) in different water samples.

Abstract
Netilmicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat infections caused by a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and is pharmaceutically formulated in ophthalmic dosage forms. In this study, two spectrofluorimetric approaches were designed and developed to switch-on the fluorescence activity of NTC. The first method, or Hantzsch (HNZ) method, was relied on measuring the generated fluorescence intensity upon the condensation of NTC with acetylacetone and formaldehyde (Hantzsch reaction) at λemis=483 nm/λexcit=425.5 nm. While the second fluorometric method (NHD method) was relied on measuring the generated fluorescence intensity upon the condensation of NTC with ninhydrin/phenylacetaldehyde at λemis=482.2 nm/λexcit=385.8 nm. The reaction conditions for the two approaches were well investigated and optimized. The selectivity study for the methods was investigated by determining NTC in the presence of the co-formulated drug (dexamethasone) and pharmaceutical excipients. The validation for two approaches was performed based on ICH guidelines, and ranges of linearity were 0.1-1.2 and 1.5-6.0 µg/mL, while LOD values were 0.039 and 0.207 µg/mL for the HNZ method and the NHD method, respectively. Finally, NTC has been determined in different ophthalmic preparations by the proposed approaches with adequate recovery values.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective phenothiazine-based sensor (PTZ) has been successfully synthesized. The sensor PTZ displayed specific identification of CN- 'turn-off' fluorescence responses with a quick reaction and strong reversibility in an acetonitrile:water (90:10, V/V) solution. The sensor PTZ for detecting CN- exhibits the marked advantages of quenching the fluorescence intensity, fast response time (60 s), and low value of the detection limit. The concentration that is authorized for drinking water by the WHO (1.9 μM) is far higher than the detection limit, which was found to be 9.11 × 10-9 . The sensor displays distinct colorimetric and spectrofluorometric detection for CN- anion due to the addition of CN- anion to the electron-deficient vinyl group of PTZ, which reduces intramolecular charge transfer efficiencies. The 1:2 binding mechanism of PTZ with CN- was validated by fluorescence titration, Job's plot, HRMS, 1 H NMR, FTIR analysis, and density functional theory (DFT) investigations, among other methods. Additionally, the PTZ sensor was successfully used to precisely and accurately detect cyanide anions in actual water samples.

Abstract
Indigo Carmine is a hazardous dye and produces an allergic action for humans despite the excessive use of the dye in several industrial fields. A sensitive and simple fluorescent assay for determining Indigo Carmine relying on quenching of the fluorescent europium-doped carbon dots by the action of inner filter effect was developed. This sensing platform involved the preparation of europium-doped carbon dots from the hydrothermal carbonization of tannic acid and europium chloride, which was used as fluorescent reagent with a distinctive excitation/emission wavelength at 307/340 nm. Both excitation and emission fluorescence of prepared carbon dots can be successfully quenched by adding Indigo Carmine dye. The developed spectrofluorimetric method exhibits good linearity with the concentration of Indigo Carmine dye in the range of 1.5 to 10.0 μg/ml and provided a limit of detection (LOD) value of 0.40 μg/ml. Furthermore, the prepared carbon nanoparticles were identified and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and ultraviolet (UV)-spectrophotometer techniques. In addition, the developed detecting approach was applied to determine Indigo Carmine in juice samples with acceptable recovery.

Abstract
A new, cost-effective and sensitive spectroscopic assay for the quantification of Colistin Sulfate (CS) and its prodrug colistimethate sodium (CMS) has been developed and validated. The validated technique depends on the condensation of the studied drug with 2,2-dihydroxyindan-1,3-dione (ninhydrin) and phenylacetaldehyde using Teorell and Stenhagen buffer (pH = 6) to yield a fluorescent product that is estimated at emission wavelength (λ em = 474 nm) after excitation wavelength (λ ex = 390 nm). The reaction's affecting factors were carefully studied and adjusted accurately. Over the following range (0.4-2.4 μg mL-1), the produced calibration plot looked rectilinear, and the estimated limits of detection and quantification (LOD and LOQ) were 0.051 & 0.154 μg mL-1 respectively. The recommended approach was utilized to evaluate market products containing the investigated drug. Moreover, content uniformity testing was employed as a new procedure not found in the previously reported fluorimetric technique.

Abstract
Nitazoxanide is an antimicrobial compound that was originally developed as an antiprotozoal drug. Recently nitazoxanide has been identified as broad-spectrum antiviral agent and redirected for the remediation of some respiratory tract viral infections. In this study, the spectrofluorimetric technique has been applied to determine Nitazoxanide (NTX) in tablets or its metabolite, tizoxanide (TZD), in human urine samples. The developed methodology is based on oxidizing NTX (non-fluorescence) into a highly fluorescent product by sodium hypochlorite. The fluorescence emission intensity was measured at 436.5 nm after fluorescence excitation at 362.5 nm. After optimizing all conditions, the analytical procedures and bio-analytical steps were evaluated and validated using ICH and FDA criteria, respectively. The method linearity, LOQ, and LOD values of NTX were 1.0-5.0 µg/mL, 0.434, and 0.143 µg/mL, respectively. The other novelty side of the presented work is the application of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) as a magnetic solid-phase for the pre-concentration and extraction process. The synthesized magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscope and zeta sizer techniques. Finally, the utilized magnetic nanoparticles exhibited good recovery results for pre-concentration and extraction of NTX or its metabolite from spiked and real human urine samples, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, sensitive, facile, and cost-effective spectrofluorimetric approaches were developed for the determination of pholcodine and ephedrine. Method I is a novel spectrofluorimetric method depending on measuring the native fluorescence of pholcodine at 337 nm after excitation at 284 nm over a concentration range of 0.01-2.4 μg/mL. The method sensitivity reached quantitation and detection limits down to 10.0 and 5.0 ng/mL, respectively. Method II relied on the simultaneous estimation of pholcodine and ephedrine using synchronous fluorimetry for the first time. The cited drugs were measured concurrently at 286 and 304 nm for pholcodine and ephedrine, respectively at Δλ of 40 nm without interference. Excellent linear relationship between concentration and response was obtained over the ranges of 0.05-6.0 μg/mL and 0.02-1.0 μg/mL for pholcodine and ephedrine, respectively. The method showed distinct sensitivity and exhibited quantitation limits of 20.0 and 10.0 ng/mL and detection limits of 10.0 and 5.0 ng/mL, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the syrup dosage form. The two developed approaches were also applied to in-vitro plasma samples, showing good bioanalytical applicability and providing further insights for monitoring drug abuse. The proposed methods were validated according to ICHQ2(R1) guidelines. The proposed methodologies' greenness profiles were evaluated using two greenness assessment tools.

Abstract
Selective fluorometric detection and determination of uranium ions is provided here using a novel fluorescent reagent, namely (E)-4-([4-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl]diazenyl)-N-(5-methyleisoxazol-3-yl) benzenesulfonamide (UVI reagent). The UVI reagent offers a selective fluorescence enhancement behaviour at emission wavelength = 557 nm. The parameters affecting fluorometric detection of uranium ions, such as the pH, solvent type, ligand concentration, interaction time, and interfering ions, were investigated and adjusted. The proposed UVI reagent can detect and determine uranium ions even at low concentrations, for which the obtained limit of detection was 0.1 ppm. Additionally, this proposed determination protocol was successfully used to detect, monitor, and determine uranium ions in actual water samples.

Abstract
Following the sudden widespread of the novel coronavirus (COVID‐19) which first appeared in Wuhan city. Remdesivir (REM) was the first medicine licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for COVID‐19 infected hospitalized patients. Hence, there was an urgent demand for the optimization of efficient selective and sensitive methods to be developed for the determination of REM in pharmaceuticals as well as biological samples. A sensitive and simple green spectrofluorimetric method has been developed to determine REM in pharmaceutical formulation, in addition to, spiked human plasma. The technique involves measuring the native fluorescence of REM in distilled water at 410 nm followed by excitation at 241 nm, giving a linear relationship over the range 50.00–500.00 ng/mL, and then improving the sensitivity of REM through micellar formation using 2.00% w/v sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). A linear relationship has been obtained over the range 10.00–350.00 ng/mL having detection and quantitation limits of 2.34 and 7.10 ng/mL, respectively. Different analytical parameters have been carefully studied. A validation study has been conducted successfully in accordance with the FDA and the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines. The developed methods' greenness was assessed utilizing a greenness profile and analytical eco‐scale standards. Both methods were discovered to be environmentally friendly and could be successfully used for the determination of the studied drugs in pharmaceutical formulation and human plasma with good accuracy and high precision. As a result, the developed spectrofluorimetric methods could be ideally suited for determination of REM in quality control and medicinal laboratories.

Utilization of the peroxidase-like activity of silver nanoparticles nanozyme on O-phenylenediamine/H 2O 2 system for fluorescence detection of mercury (II) ions. Sci Rep 2022; 12:6953. [PMID: 35484380 PMCID: PMC9050658 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-10779-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized silver nanoparticles (PV-AgNPs) were synthesized from AgNO3/trisodium citrate and with the assistance of microwave energy. The synthesized PV-AgNPs were found to own an actual peroxidase mimicking activity. This catalytic activity can oxidize the non-fluorescence reagent (o-phenylenediamine) to a high fluorescence reaction product (2,3-diaminophenazine). The reaction product exhibited a fluorescence emission at 563 nm upon the excitation at 420. Among many metals, only mercury (II) ions can inhibit the catalytic activity of PV-AgNPs nanozyme. Accordingly, the fluorescence intensity of the reaction product has been successfully quenched. This quenching effect in the fluorescence intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of mercury (II). Depending on this finding, a simple, cost-effective, and selective spectrofluorimetric approach has been designed for mercury (II) detection in water samples. The linear relationship between the inhibition in fluorescence intensity and mercury (II) concentration was found in 20–2000 nM with a detection limit of 8.9 nM.
