Abstract:
The supramolecular interaction of dequalinium chloride (DQC) and beta-cyclodextrin has been studied by flow injection spectrofluorimetry. The results showed that beta-CD reacted with DQC to form a 1:1 host:guest complex with an apparent association constant of 4.99 x 10(2) L mol(-1). Based on the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of DQC, a flow injection spectrofluorometric method for the determination of DQC in bulk aqueous solution in the presence of beta-CD was developed. The linear range was 0.0412-30.00 microg mL(-1). The detection limit was 12.3 ng mL(-1) with a sampling rate of 80 h(-1). There was no interference from the excipients normally used in tablets and serum compositions. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of DQC in tablets and serum.
