Molecules, Vol. 25, Pages 4932: Development and Greenness Evaluation of Spectrofluorometric Methods for Flibanserin Determination in Dosage Form and Human Urine Samples Molecules doi: 10.3390/molecules25214932 Authors: Rasha Ahmed Inas Abdallah Green, economic and sensitive two spectrofluorometric methods were developed for the quantitation of flibanserin (FB) in different matrices, which are based on FB native fluorescence properties. The first technique depends on measuring the relative fluorescence intensity of FB directly at emission and excitation wavelengths(λem/λex) (371 nm/247 nm), while the second technique is a first derivative (D1) spectrofluorometric method, which depends on measuring the peak amplitudes at 351 nm. Linear regressions were observed in the range of 0.1–1.5 μg/mL for both methods. Moreover, both methods were efficiently extended to analyze FB in human urine, indicating the ultra-sensitivity of the methods, and linear regression was found within a range 0.05–0.7 μg/mL for both methods. Excellent selectivity of the proposed methods and good recoveries were obtained upon the analysis of FB in pharmaceutical dosage form and human urine samples without interference from matrix components with acceptable ranges, from 98.86 to 101.46% and from 98.08 to 102.37%, respectively. Greenness of the developed methods was assessed using the national environmental method index (NEMI) and Analytical Eco-scale and Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAP...
