Simultaneous determination of diosmin and hesperidin in combined pharmaceutical preparation by synchronous fluorescence spectrofluorimetric method

Abstract

A sensitive, rapid and green synchronous spectrofluorimetric method was developed to simultaneously analyze a binary mixture of diosmin (DSM) and hesperidin (HSP). The RSFI of both medications was measured in methanol at Δ λ of 100 nm. The results indicated that specific experimental factors had an impact on these intensities. The optimization and thorough examination of these parameters were conducted. The plots of synchronous fluorescence intensity-concentration for DSM and HSP were found to be linear within the concentration ranges of 0.5–5.0 µg ml −1 and 0.2–3.0 µg ml −1 , respectively. The detection limits for DSM and HSP were 0.107 µg ml −1 and 0.048 µg ml −1 , respectively. The limits of quantification were 0.323 µg ml −1 and 0.144 µg ml −1 for DSM and HSP, respectively. The method outlined in this study was successfully used to determine the quantities of both drugs present in commercially available mixed tablets. The results obtained using this method were subsequently compared to those of a comparison method. Greenness assessment of the suggested procedure was accomplished by applying the GAPI method. Consequently, the recommended method can be used in the routine quality control analysis of the two cited drugs with minimum harmful effect on the environment as well as the individuals.
