Spectrofluorimetric analysis of gemifloxacin mesylate in pharmaceutical formulations

Abstract

A simple, rapid and highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed for determination of gemifloxacin mesylate (GFX) in tablets. The method is based on measuring the native fluorescence of GFX in isopropanol at 400 nm after excitation at 272 nm. The fluorescence-concentration plot was rectilinear over the range of 0.01-0.50 µg/mL with a lower detection limit of 1.19 ng/mL and quantification limit of 3.6 ng/mL. The method was fully validated and successfully applied to the determination of GFX tablets with an average percentage recovery of 99.65 ± 0.532. The method was extended to the stability study of GFX. The drug was exposed to acidic, alkaline, oxidative and photolytic degradation according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The rate of GFX degradation was found at its highest in acidic conditions, and in its lowest in the neutral one. However, it was stable under dry heat and photolytic degradation conditions.

Selective Potentiometric Sensors for the Determination of Quetiapine Fumarate in Pharmaceuticals and Spiked Human Urine

“…Satisfactory results were obtained with Al when compared to others. Moreover, the use of cheaper and PVC-insulated Al wire was very widely used in constructing the ionselective electrodes for determining aromatic amines [53], cationic surfactants [54], triarylmethane dyes [55], 4-aminoacetanilide [56], septonex, pilocarpine, ethylmorphine, homatrophine and cinchocaine [57], procaine and trimecaine [58], atrophine [59], cefditoren [60], etc. Therefore, an Al wire was used as medium of conductor in measuring potentials of QTF solutions using both the proposed sensors.…”

Supramolecular interaction of gemifloxacin and hydroxyl propyl β-cyclodextrin spectroscopic characterization, molecular modeling and analytical application

“…1). Few analytical methods appeared in the literature for the determination of this drug including spectrophotometric [21][22][23][24], LC [25][26][27], HPLC [28,29], electrophoresis [30,31] and spectrofluorimetry [32,33] were reported for analysis of GFX.…”

Spectrofluorimetric determination of dopamine receptor antagonist LE 300 in mice plasma

“…Reviewing the literature revealed that only one high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been published concerning the analysis of LE‐300 . Spectrofluorimetry continue to be very popular, because of its simplicity, specificity and low cost . Therefore the aim of the present study is to develop and validate a simple, rapid and sensitive spectrofluorimetric method for the quantitative determination of LE‐300 in mice plasma by using its native fluorescence in methanol.…”
