Abstract
In this work, resveratrol and curcumin, two natural polyphenols, were simultaneously determined in human plasma samples using a rapid, sensitive, green, and affordable synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic approach. Several factors affecting the performance of the procedure, including Δλ, pH, diluting solvent, and organized medium, were optimized. Based on the findings, the fluorescence of resveratrol and curcumin was measured at 304 and 443 nm, respectively, with Δλ of 80.0 nm and ethanol as the diluting solvent. Excellent linearity was demonstrated by the approach (r = 0.9999) over the concentration range of 5.00-1000.00 and 2.00-400.00 ng/mL for resveratrol and curcumin, respectively. The obtained detection limits for resveratrol and curcumin were 0.027 and 0.042 ng/mL, respectively, indicating the high sensitivity of the proposed method. Moreover, the method exhibited excellent precision (both inter and intra-day), with %RSD < 1 %. The "green analytical process index" and "Analytical GREEnness" metric tools were used to compare the green profiles of the proposed method to those of the published methods. These two greenness evaluation tools verified that the suggested methodology satisfied the greatest number of green criteria, proposing its usage as a green alternative for the routine analysis of the investigated natural anticancer polyphenols in human plasma.
