RESUMO
A simple, sensitive, and selective first derivative synchronous fluorimetric method was developed and optimized to track the influence of caffeine content in beverages on the pharmacokinetic parameters of three pharmaceuticals used in relieving headache namely, aspirin (ASP), ibuprofen (IBU), and ergotamine tartrate (ERG). A full validation procedure was carried out to impart validity to the proposed method to apply it to biological fluids. The unique dissolving power of micellar solutions was utilized to avoid multiple extraction steps for both thein vitroandin vivoexperiments, aiming to obtain acceptable recoveries and to accomplish sustainability, where 0.1 M sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) was used for this purpose. Moreover, the developed bioanalytical method was subjected to full validation to avoid interferences emerging from biological matrices. The greenness of the proposed method was assessed according to the Analytical Eco-Scale and proved to be excellent green carrying a score of 98%.

For the estimation of some co-administered antimicrobials, two highly accurate and precise spectrofluorimetric methods were developed. Fluconazole (FLZ) is co-administered with either ciprofloxacin (CPR) or ofloxacin (OFX) for the treatment of certain microbial infections. On the other hand, another antimicrobial drug, vancomycin (VNC) is co-administered with ciprofloxacin (CPR) for peritonitis treatment. In method I, conventional spectrofluorimetry has been introduced for the concurrent quantitative estimation of FLZ in presence of OFX or CPR. While in method II, a first derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetric technique was adapted for quantitation of VNC and CPR co-administered combination. Both of them were utilized for estimation of the considered drugs in raw materials, laboratory prepared mixtures, dosage forms, and biological fluids. Method I was relied on simultaneous measuring of the native fluorescence of FLZ and OFX or CPR without any overlapping between the emission spectra of each binary mixture (FLZ / OFX) and (FLZ / CPR). Fluorescence intensities were measured at 283.0, 483.0 and 436.0 nm after excitation at 262.0, 292.0 and 275.0 nm for FLZ, OFX and CPR, respectively. Method II was utilized the synchronous fluorescence intensity of VNC and CPR in methanol at Δλ = 40 nm. The first derivative synchronous spectra were calibrated at 297.0 nm for VNC and at 379.5 nm for CPR. Different variables influencing conventional and synchronous fluorescence intensities of the four antimicrobials under investigation were precisely optimized. Both methods were successfully investigated for the determination of the studied drugs in plasma. The linear data analysis for the calibration curves reveals a good relationship in the ranges of 1.0-10.0, 0.25-2.5 and 0.06-0.6 µg/mL for FLZ, OFX and CPR for method I with limits of detection 0.144, 0.038 and 0.007 µg/mL and limits of quantitation of 0.437, 0.114 and 0.021 µg/mL for FLZ, OFX and CPR, respectively. Linearity range for method II was 0.5 -10.0 µg/mL for VNC and CPR with detection limits of 0.127 and 0.110 µg/mL and quantitation limits of 0.380 and 0.334 µg/mL for VNC and CPR, respectively. International Council on Harmonization ICH Q2 (R1) Guidelines were followed in the developed methods validation. The achieved outcomes were statistically compared with those found by the reported ones, and no significant difference was observed.

Using two green and sensitive spectrofluorimetric methods, we quantified two cephalosporins, cefepime (CFM) and cefazolin (CFZ), in raw and pharmaceutical formulations. The first method is based on the reaction between CFM and fluorescamine (borate buffer, pH 8), which yields a highly fluorescent product. After excitation at 384 nm, the fluorescent product emits light at 484 nm. At concentration ranges from 12.0 to 120.0 ng ml-1, the relative fluorescence intensity/concentration curve was linear with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 2.46 ng ml-1. The second method relied on measuring the CFZ quenching action on acriflavine fluorescence through formation of an ion-associate complex using Britton-Robinson buffer at pH 8. We measured acriflavine fluorescence at 505 nm after excitation at 265 nm. The decrease in acriflavine fluorescence intensity was CFZ concentration-dependent. Using this method, we quantified CFZ in concentrations ranging from 1 to 10 µg ml-1 with a LOQ of 0.48 µg ml-1. We studied and optimized the factors influencing reaction product formation. Moreover, we adapted our methods to the investigation of the mentioned drugs in raw and pharmaceutical formulations with greatly satisfying results. We statistically validated our methods according to International Council on Harmonisation Guidelines. The obtained results were consistent with those obtained with the official high-performance liquid chromatography methods.
RESUMO
Four simple, rapid, accurate and precise spectrophotometric methods were established and validated in accordance with ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines for the simultaneous determination of Vancomycin (VNC) and Ciprofloxacin (CPR) in their raw materials, laboratory prepared mixtures and pharmaceutics. Method A depends on using first derivative spectrophotometry (D1) where VNC and CPR were resolved at 243.6 and 262.0 nm, respectively. Concerning method B, it is based on utilizing first derivative of ratio spectra (DD1) where determination was performed at the peak maxima at 244.0 nm and 258.0 nm for VNC and CPR, respectively. Two chemometric models were applied for the quantitative analysis of both drugs in their laboratory prepared mixtures, namely, partial least squares (PLS) (method C) and artificial neural network (ANN) (method D). For univariate methods linearity range for both drugs was in the range of 3-30 and 1-10 µg/mL for VNC and CPR, respectively. Multivariate calibration methods using five level, two factor calibration model for the development of 25 mixtures were also applied for the simultaneous estimation of the two drugs in their laboratory prepared mixture using spectral region from 200.0 to 300.0 nm using interval 1 nm. The suggested methods have been successfully extended to the assay of the two studied drugs in laboratory-prepared mixtures and pharmaceuticals with excellent recovery. First derivative spectrophotometry (D1) was also applied for the assay of both analytes in spiked human plasma with good recovery. No interaction with common pharmaceutical additives has been observed which indicate the selectivity of the method. The results obtained were favourably compared with those obtained applying the reported methods. The methods are validated in compliance with the ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines and the measured accuracy and precision are assessed to be within the accepted limits.

A rapid, simple, and sensitive second-derivative synchronous fluorimetric method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of a binary mixture of desloratadine (DSL) and montelukast sodium (MKT) in their co-formulated tablets. The method is based on measurement of the synchronous fluorescence intensities of the two drugs in McIlvaine's buffer, pH 2.3, in the presence of carboxy methyl cellulose sodium (CMC) as a fluorescence enhancer at a constant wavelength difference (Δλ) of 160 nm. The presence of CMC enhanced the synchronous fluorescence intensity of DSL by 216% and that of MKT by 28%. A linear dependence of the concentration on the amplitude of the second derivative synchronous fluorescence spectra was achieved over the ranges of 0.10-2.00 and 0.20-2.00 µg/mL with limits of detection of 0.02 and 0.03, and limits of quantification of 0.05 and 0.10 µg/mL for DSL and MKT, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of the studied compounds in laboratory-prepared mixtures and tablets. The results were in good agreement with those obtained with the comparison method. The high sensitivity attained by the proposed method allowed the determination of MKT in spiked human plasma with average % recovery of 100.11 ± 2.44 (n = 3).

A novel, quick, simple and highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed and validated for the determination of sitagliptin (SG) in its pharmaceutical formulations. The proposed method is based on investigation of the fluorescence spectral behavior of sitagliptin in an SDS micellar system. In an aqueous solution of phosphate buffer pH 4.0, the fluorescence intensity of SG in the presence of SDS was greatly enhanced, by 200%, i.e. twofold enhancement. The fluorescence intensity of SG was measured at 300 nm after excitation at 270 nm. The method showed good linearity in the range 0.03-10.0 µg/mL with a good correlation coefficient (r = 0.9998). The limits of detection and quantitation values were 5.31 and 16.1 ng/mL, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of SG in its single and co-formulated commercial tablets; the results were in good agreement with those obtained using a reference method. Application of the proposed method was extended to stability studies of SG after exposure to different forced degradation conditions according to the ICH guidelines, such as acidic, alkaline, thermal, photo- and oxidative stress.

There was no significant difference between the results obtained by the proposed and the reference methods regarding Student t-test and the variance ratio F-test respectively. A proposal of the reaction pathway was postulated.
