- Abstract
A relevant approach based on the attractive inherited merits of fluorescence spectroscopy has been established for quantitative estimation of a newly approved second-generation atypical antipsychotic lurasidone (LUR) in its raw materials and pharmaceutical dosage forms. This study brings to light the strong native fluorescence of LUR at 400 nm in water after excitation at 316 nm. Different experimental parameters that may compromise the fluorescence of the drug were carefully investigated and optimized. A linear response was established between the relative fluorescence intensity and concentration over the concentration range of 50-650 ng/mL with excellent correlation (r = 0.9998). The validity of the method was evidenced in accordance with International Council for Harmonization guidelines, with minimal detection and quantification limits of 2.88 and 8.73 ng/mL, respectively. The method was effectively applied for the estimation of LUR in spiked human plasma and urine samples with acceptable recoveries. The biopharmaceutical significance of the method was heightened by its successful applications for both content uniformity and in vitro dissolution testing. Three different tools accredited the greenness character of the presented study. Eco-friendliness, effortlessness, and cost effectiveness are crucial hallmarks of our study. The presented study demonstrates potential applicability in quality control laboratories with limited resources., (© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)
