Investigation of eco-friendly fluorescence quenching probes for assessment of acemetacin using silver nanoparticles and acriflavine reagent.

ABSTRACT: The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication acemetacin was assessed via two straightforward green spectrofluorimetric techniques. The quenching-dependent derivatizing spectrofluorimetric reactions are the master point of this study. Acriflavine-based method (Method I) depends on forming an ion association complex between acriflavine and the drug in a ratio of 1:1, decreasing the former's fluorescence intensity. Acriflavine or Ag NP's intensity-related quenching action goes linearly with the acemetacin concentration in the 2.0-20.0 µg/mL and 1.0-16.0 µg/mL ranges, respectively. The second quenching mechanism depends on using the silver nanoparticles (Ag NP's) as a fluorescence probe (Method II); Ag NP's were prepared from reducing silver nitrate using sodium borohydride. Both methods could be applied to determine pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms of acemetacin. The methods proved valid according to the international conference on harmonization (ICH) guidelines. In addition to this, this work has been estimated under green criteria assessment tools. There is no significant difference between the proposed and the comparison methods after the statistical interpretation.
