ABSTRACT
The diagnosis of prostate cancer has been evolving in the current decade, with expected mortality rates of 499,000 death by the year 2030. Apalutamide (APL) has been approved in 2018 as the first drug for the controlling of prostate cancer. APL significant success warrantied its high global sales, which are expected to surpass 58% of segment market sales (together with another drug; enzalutamide). Therefore, new, fast and environmentally friendly analytical methods are required for its determination for the quality control and biological monitoring purposes. The proposed research designs and evaluates the first fluorimetric approach based on novel porous green boron-doped carbon quantum dots (B@CDs) for the determination of APL in biopharmaceutical matrices. The synthetic approach has high quantum yield (31.15%). B@CDs were characterized using several tools, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), FTIR and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) which proved their improved surface properties with an average nano-diameter of 3.0 nm. The interaction between B@CDs and APL led to enhancement their fluorescence at 441 nm (excitation at 372 nm). The approach was validated for the determination of APL within concentration range of 15.0-700.0 ng mL- 1 with quantification limit LOQ 4.37 ng mL- 1 and detection limit LOD 1.44 ng mL- 1. The approach was successfully applied for the determination of APL in human plasma and pharmaceutical monitoring of its marketed tablet form. Then, the approach was assessed for its environmental impact using different metrics and proved its ecological greenness.
