Abstract

Fluorescence spectroscopy has an important role in the determination of very small quantities of substances, especially in biological fluids. For this reason, most analysts have adopted the use of this technique in their biological studies and research, which helps them in the determination of any substance found in trace amounts. In addition to the high sensitivity of the fluorimetric technique, it has the advantages of simplicity and being green for the environment. All these reasons encourage the use of fluorimetric spectroscopy for quantifying co-administered therapy in biological fluids, which is considered a crucial step for patients, particularly in emergent cases requiring monitoring of administered therapeutic drugs. In this work, a sensitive, simple, economic, and environmentally friendly fluorimetric analytical technique was developed for the simultaneous determination of prucalopride succinate (a novel anti-constipation agent) and empagliflozin (an anti-diabetic agent) in pharmaceutical forms and spiked plasma depending on third-derivative signal processing at 333 and 314 nm, respectively. Conventional fluorescence spectra of both drugs showed a large overlap that hindered their simultaneous determination. So, third-order derivative fluorescence was adopted to overcome this overlap. The third-derivative corresponding to each spectrum was recorded using data points = 17 and a scaling factor of 10. The greenness of the proposed method was evaluated using an…
