Abstract:

For quantitation of amlodipine (AML) and perindopril (PER) in their authentic, pharmaceutical formulations and spiked human plasma, a simple, sensitive, validated and inexpensive spectrofluorimetric method has been developed. The proposed method is developed to be based on quantitative quenching effect of two antihypertensive drugs on Eosin Y's native fluorescence which was achieved by developing binary complexes between each of the cited drugs in an acidic environment using acetate buffer (pH 4.4) with Eosin Y. Fluorescence quenching was recorded at 544 nm after excitation at 425 nm. For AML and PER, calibration curves were obtained over the range of 0.3–3.0 µg/mL and 0.2–2.0 µg/mL, respectively, with correlation coefficients of 0.9993 and 0.9995, respectively. The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines. The proposed spectrofluorimetric method is regarded new and sensitive. As a result, the proposed method might be used to estimate the quality of the cited drugs in their pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluid.
