Abstract:
A novel, rapid and sensitive spectroflurimetric method was developed and validated for the determination of deferasirox in urine, serum and tablet samples based on sensitization of terbium fluorescence. The excitation and emission wavelengths were 328 and 545 nm, respectively. The optimum conditions for the determination of deferasirox were investigated considering the effects of various parameters. The method was quantitatively evaluated in terms of linearity, recovery, reproducibility and limit of detection. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensities were linear with the concentration of deferasirox in the range of 5 × 10(-9) to 5×10(-6) mol L(-1) , with a detection limit of 1.5 × 10(-9) mol L(-1) and a relative standard deviation of 1.1-2.3%. Linearity, reproducibility, recovery and limit of detection made the method suitable for determination of deferasirox in urine, serum and tablets samples.
