Exploiting of Green Synthesized Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in the Potentiometric Determination of Metformin Hydrochloride in Pharmaceutical Products

The advanced and highly functional properties of Al2O3 and NiO nanoparticles promote the widespread use of metal oxides as remarkable electroactive materials for sensing and electrochemical applications. The proposed study describes a comparison of the sensitivity and selectivity of two modified wire membrane sensors enriched with Al2O3 and NiO nanoparticles with conventional wire membranes for the quantification of the antidiabetic drug metformin hydrochloride (MTF). The results show linear relationships of the enriched Al2O3 and NiO nanosensors over the concentration ranges 1.0 × 10-10-1.0 × 10-2 mol L-1 and 1.0 × 10-6-1.0 × 10-2 M for both the modified sensors and the conventional coated wire membrane sensors. The regression equations were EmV = (52.1 ± 0.5) log (MTF) + 729 for enriched nanometallic oxides, EmV = (57.04 ± 0.4) log (MTF) + 890.66, and EmV = (58.27 ± 0.7) log (MTF) + 843.27 with correlation coefficients of 0.9991, 0.9997, and 0.9998 for the aforementioned sensors, respectively. The proposed method was fully validated with respect to the recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The newly functionalized sensors have been successfully used for the determination of MTF in its commercial products.

Plant extract mediated synthesis of ZnO and CeO2 nanoparticles for spectrofluorometric assay of omeprazole and domperidone in pharmaceuticals

The current research proposed a highly sensitive and selective spectrofluorometric approach for the assay of gastrointestinal medications omeprazole (OMZ) and domperidone (DOM). Green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles such as zinc oxide (ZnONPs) and cerium oxide (CeO2NPs) using Pimpinella anisum and Syzygium aromaticum extract was used as fluorescence emission catalysts for the determination of OMZ and DOM. Due to their unique optical properties, nanoparticles (NPs) form the basis for spectrofluorimetric quantification of the selected drugs. The detection studies were performed under λex/λem 350/450 nm and 284/392 nm for OMZ and DOM in the presence of ZnONPs and CeO2NPs, respectively. Under ideal conditions, fluorescence intensities (FI) were linearly with correlation coefficient (r = 0.999) over concentration ranges of 0.1-100 and 0.01-200 μg mL-1 for OMZ, 0.01-100 and 0.01-300 n g mL-1 for DOM in the presence of ZnONPs and CeO2NPs, respectively. Method validation was carried out to guarantee the accuracy, suitability, and precision of the proposed fluorescence (FL) systems for the determination of OMZ and DOM. Analytical method guidelines and requirements were followed. The designed procedure was used effectively to identify the determined drugs in both their pure and commercial versions.
