Eco-benign spectrofluorimetric analysis of icariin in a nano-formulation using green quantum dots: insights from <i>in vitro</i> anticoagulant and docking studies.

ABSTRACT: The analysis of nutraceuticals is crucial for assessing their safety, efficacy, and bioavailability and helps in their effective integration into health practices. Icariin (ICA), a natural flavonoid, was analyzed via a selective and sensitive method using a microwave-synthesized turn-off fluorescence probe. Full characterization of the probe was performed using several techniques. It was observed that fluorescence quenching was directly proportional to the increase in ICA concentration over a range of 1-20 μg mL^-1 with a linearity correlation coefficient of 0.9998. Additionally, the estimated values for the limits of detection and quantitation were 0.24 and 0.73 μg mL^-1, respectively. Growing interest in ICA's potential to prevent and/or treat diseases with few
