Abstract:
The supramolecular interaction of beta-cyclodextrin dimer with berberine hydrochloride was studied in aqueous KH2PO4-H3PO4 buffer solution of pH 2.00 at room temperature by spectrofluorimetry. The apparent association constant of the complex was 1.53 x 10(4) L mol(-1). Based on the significant enhancement of fluorescence intensity of supramolecular sandwich complexes, a spectrofluorimetric method with high sensitivity and selectivity was developed for the determination of berberine hydrochloride in aqueous solution in presence of ethylenediamine linked beta-CD dimer. The linear range of the method was 12.8-1.00 x 10(4 )ng mL(-1) with the detection limit 3.6 ng mL(-1). There was no interference from the normally used in tablets and serum constituents. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of berberine hydrochloride in tablets and serum. And then it has a promising potential in therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacokinetics and clinical application.
