A spectrofluorimetric approach has been developed and validated for determination of sulfur-containing drug; ixabepilone in raw powder, vials and human plasma. This approach studies the quenching effect of IXA on the fluorescence intensity of acetoxymercuric fluorescein (AMF) reagent at λem of 530 nm and λex of 500 nm. All the parameters that can affect the reaction as pH, AMF solution concentration, temperature, time and solvents were studied and optimized. The linearity range of the studied approach was 20-100 ng mL-1 with correlation coefficient of (r = 0.9998). The proposed approach was validated and approved regarding to ICH guidelines in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, LOD and LOQ, with mean percentage recovery of 99.79 and RSE% of 1.64. The previously obtained resultes were already statistically compared with that of established reported methods indicating no significant differences in accuracy and precision. Finally, the proposed approach is easy, sensitive, and inexpensive so it is suitable for routine determination of IXA in raw powder, vials and human plasma with no need for any prior separation or sample extraction.

A dependable, sensitive, basic and cheap spectrofluorimetric approach has been created for test of sulfur-containing drug; ixabepilone in bulk powder, vials and human plasma. The approach depends on the quenching effect of ixabepilone on the fluorescence intensity of acetoxymercuric fluorescene (AMF) reagent at λem of 530 nm and λex of 500 nm. Parameters which will control the reaction such as pH, AMF solution concentration, temperature, time and solvents were examined and optimized. According to the optimized conditions, the proposed approach was practiced over the concentration area of 20-100 ng mL-1 with adequate linearity (r = 0.9998). The developed approach was approved confirming to ICH rules in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, LOD and LOQ. The proposed approach was practiced to analyze ixabepilone in Ixempra® vials with satisfactory recovery % of 99.89 and RSE% of 1.24. The results achieved were compared to those achieved by an already reported HPLC approach.
