Synergistic utility of NBD-Cl fluorogenic loading activity and salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction as sample pretreatment in rasagiline tracking in different matrices

A typical drug used to treat Parkinson's disease is called rasagiline. It belongs to an assortment of drugs known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors, which function by raising dopamine levels in the brain. This work created a unique spectrofluorimetric method for the analytical assay of rasagiline for the first time. The approach utilized the synergistic utility of the fluorogenic properties of benzofurazan and salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction. By combining these techniques an ultrasensitive, and highly selective methodology for the assay of rasagiline was established. Measurements were made of the resultant yellow fluorescent product at 533 nm by applying an excitation wavelength of 475.3 nm. The calibration graph was examined to assess its linearity across a range of 30-600 ng/ml. Through estimation, the limit of detection was discovered to be 8.9 ng/ml, while the quantitation limit was estimated to be 27 ng/ml. All relevant parameters influencing the fulfillment of the developed method were thoroughly examined and tuned. Following the directives set by the (ICH) the suggested approach was confirmed and demonstrated its capability for the accurate determination of rasagiline in tablets, as well as for testing content uniformity. The incorporation of salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction technology enables effective tracking of rasagiline in plasma samples, providing a novel and innovative approach for its analysis in biological matrices.

The current study presents the first spectrofluorimetric approach for the estimation of lactoferrin, depending on the measurement of its native fluorescence at 337 nm after excitation at 230 nm, without the need for any hazardous chemicals or reagents. It was found that the fluorescence intensity versus concentration calibration plot was linear over the concentration range of 0.1-10.0 μg/mL with quantitation and detection limits of 0.082 and 0.027 μg/mL, respectively. The method was accordingly validated according to the ICH recommendations. The developed method was applied for the estimation of lactoferrin in different dosage forms, including capsules and sachets with high percent recoveries (97.84-102.53) and low %RSD values (<1.95). Lactoferrin is one of the key nutrients in milk powder and a significant nutritional fortifier. In order to assess the quality of milk powder, it is essential to rapidly and accurately quantify the lactoferrin content of the product. Therefore, the presented study was successfully applied for the selective estimation of lactoferrin in milk powder with acceptable percent recoveries (96.45-104.92) and %RSD values (≤3.607). Finally, the green profile of the method was estimated using two assessment tools: Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI) and Analytical GREEnness (AGREE), which demonstrated its excellent greenness.

Utility of native emission quenching of erythrosine B for the determination of diltiazem in different dosage forms

This study introduces a practical and cost-effective method for tracking diltiazem (DLZ) analytically. It utilizes a fluorimetric approach that relies on the modulation of fluorescence intensity of a dye called erythrosine B. Through a one-pot experiment performed in an acidic environment, a complex is rapidly formed between DLZ and erythrosine B. By observing the decrease in erythrosine B emission, a linear calibration plot is established, enabling the detection and quantification of DLZ concentrations ranging from 40 to 850 ng/ml. The estimated limits of detection and quantitation were 10.5 and 32.1 ng/ml, respectively. The variables affecting the DLZ-dye complex system were carefully adjusted. The validity of the approach was confirmed through a thorough evaluation based on the criteria set by ICH guidelines. The accuracy and precision of the methodology were evaluated, and the standard deviation and relative standard deviation were below 2. The strategy was successfully employed to analyze DLZ in tablets and capsules, and no significant variation between the proposed and reported methods as the values of the estimated t-test and F-test at five determinations were below 2.306 and 6.338, respectively. Notably, the method adheres to the principle of green chemistry by utilizing distilled water as the dispersing medium.

For the first time, clemastine was estimated in this work utilizing two validated resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and fluorimetric methods. The methods relied on forming an association complex in an acidic medium between eosin Y reagent and clemastine. In the spectrofluorimetric approach, the investigated drug was quantified by quenching the fluorescence-emission intensity of eosin Y at 543.5 nm. The RRS method relied on enhancing the RRS spectrum at 331.8 nm, which is produced when eosin Y interacts with clemastine. Suitable conditions were established for the reaction to achieve maximum sensitivity. The linear values obtained from the spectrofluorimetric approach and the RRS method fall into the ranges of 0.2-1.5 µg mL- 1 and 0.25-2.0 µg mL- 1, respectively. It was established that the detection limits for these methods were 0.045 µg mL- 1 and 0.059 µg mL- 1, respectively. The developed methodologies yielded acceptable recoveries when used to estimate the quantity of clemastine in its pharmaceutical tablet dosage form. Regarding the use of greener solvents that were chosen, the suggested and reported methods were compared with the help of the Green Solvents Selecting (GSST) tool for assessing hazardous solvents to achieve sustainability. Furthermore, analytical Eco scale and comprehensive assessments of whiteness, blueness, and greenness were carried out utilizing Modified NEMI, ComplexGAPI, and AGREE evaluation tools. Additionally, recently developed tools such as BAGI and RGB 12 were applied to assess the blueness and the whiteness of the suggested methods.

Study on the interaction between erythrosine B and the cardiac drug amiodarone using fluorescence, scattering, and absorbance spectra and their analytical application

In an acidic buffered solution, erythrosine B can react with amiodarone to form an association complex, which not only generates great enhancement in resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) spectrum of erythrosine B at 346.5 nm but also results in quenching of fluorescence spectra of erythrosine B at λemission = 550.4 nm/λexcitation = 528.5 nm. In addition, the formed erythrosine B-amiodarone complex produces a new absorbance peak at 555 nm. The spectral characteristics of the RRS, absorbance, and fluorescence spectra, as well as the optimum analytical conditions, were studied and investigated. As a result, new spectroscopic methods were developed to determine amiodarone by utilizing erythrosine B as a probe. Moreover, the ICH guidelines were used to validate the developed RRS, photometric, and fluorimetric methods. The enhancements in the absorbance and the RRS intensity and the decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the used probe were proportional to the concentration of amiodarone in ranges of 2.5-20.0, 0.2-2.5, and 0.25-1.75 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, limit of detection values were 0.52 ng/mL for the spectrophotometric method, 0.051 μg/mL for the RRS method, and 0.075 μg/mL for the fluorimetric method. Moreover, with good recoveries, the developed spectroscopic procedures were applied to analyze amiodarone in its commercial tablets.

Development of sensitive spectrofluorometric approach based on formation of pyrrolidone derivative for determination of linagliptin through condensation reaction with ninhydrin and phenylacetaldehyde: Application to content uniformity and real plasma

The new drug linagliptin belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 enzyme inhibitors. Linagliptin is used to treat type 2 diabetes and is taken orally either alone or in combination with other drugs. In this instance, a new, simple, and economical technique for analyzing linagliptin was developed by the effective use of a pyrrolidone derivative. The primary amine group of linagliptin permits its condensation with ninhydrin (0.14% w/v) to produce a fluorescent product in the presence of phenylacetaldehyde (0.02% v/v). All experimental parameters were carefully examined and adjusted in order to monitor the generation of the pyrrolidone derivative at excitation and emission wavelengths of 385 and 475 nm, respectively. The calibration graph was made by plotting the intensity of the fluorescence in relation to linagliptin concentration. A significant linearity was found for values ranging from 20 to 460 ng/mL. The process's validity has been verified by a thorough assessment of the instructions provided by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). The results indicate excellent uniformity with a reference method, showing that there is no substantial difference in precision and accuracy. The proposed approach was utilized for determining linagliptin in real rat plasma successfully owing to its high sensitivity. Additionally, the proposed approach was evaluated using the Eco-Scale evaluation tool and showed a high degree of eco-friendliness (86/100).
