Abstract

A rapid, simple and highly sensitive first derivative synchronous fluorometric method has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of binary mixture of sulpiride (SUL) and mebeverine hydrochloride (MEB). The method is based upon measurement of the synchronous fluorescence intensity of these drugs at ∆λ = 100 nm in water. The different experimental parameters affecting the fluorescence of the two drugs were carefully studied and optimized. The fluorescence-concentration plots were rectilinear over the range of 0.05–1 µg/mL and 0.2–3.2 µg/mL for SUL and MEB respectively with lower detection limits (LOD) of 0.006 and 0.01 µg/mL and quantification limits (LOQ) of 0.0.02 and 0.05 µg/mL for SUL and MEB, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of the two compounds in synthetic mixtures and in commercial tablets. The high sensitivity attained by the proposed method allowed the determination of both of SUL and MEB metabolite (veratic acid) in real human plasma samples applying second derivative synchronous fluorometric technique. The mean% recoveries (n = 3) for both MEB metabolite (veratic acid) and SUL were 99.82 ± 2.53 and 98.84 ± 6.20 for spiked human plasma respectively, while for real human plasma, the mean% recoveries (n = 3) were 91.49 ± 4.25 and 91.36 ± 8.46 respectively.
