Micelle-enhanced spectrofluorimetric determination of amlexanox in bioadhesive buccal tablets: application to content uniformity testing.

A highly sensitive, simple and rapid spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of Amlexanox (AMX) in its bioadhesive buccal tablets. The proposed method is based on measuring the native fluorescence of the methanolic solution of AMX at 400 nm after excitation at 242 nm in 0.2 M borate buffer (pH 10) and 0.5% w/v sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution. The interaction of AMX with SDS was studied, and the enhanced fluorescence intensity was exploited to develop an assay method for the determination of AMX. The relative fluorescence intensity-concentration plot was rectilinear over the range 5.0-80.0 ng/mL, with a lower detection limit of 0.57 ng/mL and a lower quantification limit of 1.74 ng/mL. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of AMX in its commercial tablets. Moreover, content uniformity testing was conducted by applying official USP guidelines. Statistical evaluation and comparison of the data obtained using the proposed and comparison methods revealed good accuracy and precision for the proposed method.

Spectrofluorimetric determination of amisulpride and bumidazone in raw materials and tablets.

A highly sensitive, simple and rapid spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of amisulpride (AMS) and bumidazone (BUM) in tablet form. The proposed method is based on measuring the native fluorescence of the studied drugs in methanol at 360 and 344 nm after excitation at 276 and 232 nm for AMS and BUM, respectively. The fluorescence-concentration plots were rectilinear over the ranges of 5.0-60.0 ng/mL for AMS and 0.5-5.0 µg/mL for BUM. The lower detection limits were 0.70 ng/mL and 0.06 µg/mL, and the lower quantification limits were 2.0 ng/mL and 0.18 µg/mL for AMS and BUM, respectively. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of AMS and BUM in commercial tablets. Statistical evaluation and comparison of the data obtained using the proposed and comparison methods revealed good accuracy and precision for the proposed method.
