TL;DR: In this article , a sensitive synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic method was applied in conjunction with first derivative for quantitative estimation of fexofenadine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochlorides in pure form, pharmaceutical tablets and spiked human plasma.
Abstract: Fexofenadine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride are prescribed in a combined dosage form for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. In the present work, a sensitive synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic method was applied in conjunction with first derivative for quantitative estimation of fexofenadine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in pure form, pharmaceutical tablets and spiked human plasma. Fexofenadine hydrochloride showed its conventional emission spectrum at 294 nm when excited at 267 nm. On the other hand, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride showed its conventional emission spectra at 286 nm when excited at 261 nm. The fluorescence intensities were greatly enhanced by the use of sodium dodecyl sulphate as a micellar surfactant. Application of the synchronous mode to measure the fluorescence spectra of the above drugs provided sharp narrowing bands, but the overlap was not completely resolved. Derivatization of the synchronous spectra to the first order completely resolved the overlap of the fluorescence spectra and allowed simultaneous quantitative determination of the drugs under study. Fexofenadine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride could be determined from their first-order synchronous spectra at 286 and 294 nm, respectively, without interfering with each other. The method showed linearity with an excellent correlation coefficient in the concentration range of 100-1500 ng/mL for Fexofenadine hydrochloride and 50-1000 ng/mL for pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. The method was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of the studied drugs in pharmaceutical formulation, with mean percent recoveries for Fexofenadine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride of 99.49 ± 0.931 and 98.67 ± 0.634, respectively, and in spiked human plasma, with mean percent recoveries for Fexofenadine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride of 95.21 ± 1.938 and 94.89 ± 1.763, respectively. Furthermore, the greenness of the described method was assessed using four different tools namely, the national environmental method index, the analytical eco-scale, the green analytical procedure index and the AGREE evaluation method. The proposed method seemed to be superior to the reported HPLC method with respect to the metrics of the greenness characters.

TL;DR: A simple synchronous spectrofluorimetric approach was established that was validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and further applied to commercial pharmaceutical preparations with good results, allowing a significant bioanalytical application.
Abstract: Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is a contagious viral infection caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. It has ravaged several countries and burdened many healthcare systems. As the process of authorizing a novel treatment for human use is extensive and involves multiple phases to obtain safety information and identify potential concerns. Therefore, the fastest and easiest choice was to use United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)‐approved drugs such as favipiravir and hydroxychloroquine. For the simultaneous estimation of both medications, a simple synchronous spectrofluorimetric approach was established in which both drugs were measured at 372 and 323 nm, respectively in the presence of each other without interference at Δλ 60 nm. The effect of various experimental conditions on synchronous fluorescence intensities were thoroughly investigated and optimized. The maximum synchronous fluorescence intensities were obtained at pH 5.4 using acetate buffer (0.2 M, 0.5 ml) and ethanol as a diluent. Excellent linearity ranges were obtained using 1.0–18.0 ng/ml and 10.0–120.0 ng/ml for favipiravir and hydroxychloroquine, respectively. The approach exhibited high sensitivity with detection limits down to 0.25 ng/ml and 1.52 ng/ml and quantitation limits down to 0.77 ng/ml and 4.62 ng/ml, respectively. Spiking human plasma samples with the studied drugs yielded high % recoveries, allowing a significant bioanalytical application. Moreover, the method was validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and further applied to commercial pharmaceutical preparations with good results.

TL;DR: A review of synchronous fluorescence scan (SFS) methods for analysis of multi-component systems can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the use of SFS in the analysis of complex multichannel mixtures.
Abstract: The ability to analyse complex multi-component mixtures without resorting to tedious separation procedures is extremely useful for routine analysis. Single-wavelength fluorescence measurement is limited in its ability to analyse complicated multi-component samples when they have severely overlapping emission and/or excitation spectra. This can be overcome by using synchronous fluorescence scan (SFS), where overlapping of spectra can be minimized. The selectivity of SFS can still be increased by taking derivative spectrum, applying different multivariate methods, selective fluorescence quenching, three-dimensional synchronous measurement or using some of these procedures in combination. Recent developments in various synchronous fluorescence methods for analysis of multi-component systems are discussed in this review.

TL;DR: The high sensitivity attained by the synchronous fluorometric method allowed the determination of cinnarizine in real and spiked human plasma and the results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained with reference methods.
Abstract: A rapid, simple and highly sensitive second derivative synchronous fluorometric method has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of binary mixture of cinnarizine (CN) and domperidone (DOM). The method is based upon measurement of the native fluorescence of these drugs at Δλ = 80 nm in aqueous methanol (50% V/V). The different experimental parameters affecting the native fluorescence of the studied drugs were carefully studied and optimized. The fluorescence-concentration plots were rectilinear over the range of 0.1 to 1.3 μg mL−1 and 0.1–3.0 μg mL−1 for CN and DOM, respectively with lower detection limits of 0.017 and 5.77 × 10−3 μg mL−1 and quantification limits of 0.058 and 0.02 μg mL−1 for CN and DOM. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of the studied compounds in synthetic mixtures and in commercial tablets. The results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained with reference methods. The high sensitivity attained by the synchronous fluorometric method allowed the determination of CN in real and spiked human plasma. The mean % recoveries in case of spiked human plasma (n = 3) were 96.39 ± 1.18 while that in real human plasma (n = 3) was 104.67 ± 4.16.
