Application of a white and green spectrofluorimetric approach for facile quantification of amlodipine, a hypotensive drug, in batch materials, dosage forms, and biological fluids; content homogeneity testing

The suggested study adheres to a particular protocol to ensure that the process is environmentally friendly and sustainable. It is worth mentioning that several tools have been adopted as prospective measures of the method greenness. Fortunately, the established analytical method is identified as white by the white analytical chemistry (WAC) concept, which uses the red/ green/blue color scheme (RGB 12 tool) to combine ecological and functional factors for the first time in studying of the cited drug. Amlodipine (AMD), a cardiovascular treating agent, belongs to the dihydropyridine class of oral calcium channel-blocking agents. This article presents a novel, simple, green, one-pot-processed, fast, and ultrasensitive fluorimetric approach for monitoring and assessment of AMD using molecular-size-dependent fluorescence augmentation of the light scattering-driven signal of eosin, a biological stain at a wavelength of 415 nm. This enhancement was directly proportional to the size of the produced complex. The linearity range was from 30 to 900 ng mL-1, with corresponding sensitivity limits (detection and quantitation levels) of 9.2 and 28 ng mL-1, respectively. The planned approach was also successfully used to track AMD content in bulk, dosage forms, and bio-fluids (human plasma and urine). The developed method's eco-friendliness was established by different eco-rating metric tools.
