Potentiometric Dipyridamole Sensors Based on Lipophilic Ion Pair Complexes and Native Ionic Polymer Membranes

Abstract

A new spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of lecithin. Using enoxacine (ENX)‐terbium ion (Tb³⁺) as a fluorescent probe, in a buffer solution at pH=5.80, lecithin can remarkably reduce the fluorescence intensity of the ENX‐Tb³⁺ complex at λ=545 nm; the reduced fluorescence intensity of the Tb³⁺ ion is proportional to the concentration of lecithin. Optimum conditions for the determination of lecithin were also investigated. The linear range and detection limit for the determination of lecithin were 1.96×10^?7–9.8×10^?6 mol l^?1 and 9.74×10^?8 mol l^?1. This method is simple, practical and relatively free of interference from coexisting substances, and can be successfully applied to assess lecithin in serum samples.     

Study on the Fluorescence System of Oxolinic Acid‐Tb(III) and the Determination of Oxolinic Acid

Abstract

In Tris‐HCl buffer (pH=7.43), Tb³⁺ can react with oxolinic acid (OA) and form a 1:2 complex, which emits the intrinsic fluorescence of Tb³⁺. Based on this, a new fluorimetric method of determination of OA is developed. Under the optimum conditions, the enhanced fluorescence intensity of the system is proportional to the concentration of OA in the range of 1.5×10^?7～2.5×10^?5mol/L, and the detection limit is 5.5×10^?9 mol/L. Recovery test was also satisfactory. The experiments indicated that the luminescence mechanism was attributed to the M*–M luminescence.     

Sensitive Determination of Prulifloxacin by Its Fluorescence Enhancement on Terbium(III)–Sodium Dodecylbenzene Sulfonate System

Abstract

A terbium-sensitized fluorescence spectrophotometry method using an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS), was developed for the determination of prulifloxacin (PUFX). It was found that SDBS significantly enhanced the fluorescence intensity of the PUFX–Tb³⁺ complex (about 13-fold). The optimal experimental conditions were determined as follows: excitation and emission wavelengths of 290 nm and 545 nm, pH 8.0, 4.0 × 10^?5 mol L^?1 terbium(III), and 4.0 × 10^?4 mol L^?1 SDBS. The enhanced fluorescence intensity of the system (ΔF) showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of PUFX over the range 6.0 × 10^?8 to 2.0 × 10^?6mol L^?1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9991. The detection limit (S/N = 3) was determined as 8.5 × 10^?9 mol L^?1. This method has been successfully applied for the determination of PUFX in pharmaceuticals and human urine/serum samples. Compared with most other methods reported, the rapid and simple procedure proposed here offered higher sensitivity, wider linear range, and good stability. The luminescence mechanism of the system was also discussed in detail. In the fluorescence system of PUFX–Tb³⁺–SDBS, SDBS acted not only as the surfactant but also as the energy donor.     

Determination of Coenzyme II Using Balofloxacin–Terbium(III) as a Fluorescence Probe by Spectrofluorometry

Abstract

A new spectrofluorometric method was developed for determination of coenzyme II. We studied the interactions between balofloxacin–terbium(III) complex and coenzyme II by using ultraviolet–visible absorption and fluorescence spectra. While balofloxacin–terbium(III) was used as a fluorescence probe, under the optimum conditions, coenzyme II could remarkably enhance the fluorescence intensity of the balofloxacin–terbium(III) complex at λ = 545 nm, and the enhanced fluorescence intensity was in proportion to the concentration of coenzyme II. Optimum conditions for the determination of coenzyme II were also investigated. The dynamic range for the determination of coenzyme II was 6.0 × 10^?8 to 6.0 × 10^?6 mol L^?1, and the detection limit (3σ/k) was 3.5 × 10^?8 mol L^?1. This method was simple, practical, and relatively free interference from coexisting substances and could be successfully applied to determination of coenzyme II in synthetic samples. The mechanism of fluorescence enhancement of balofloxacin–terbium(III) complex by coenzyme II was also discussed.

Abstract

It was found that gmanylic acid (GMP) can be selectively completed with Tb³⁺ at pH 6.0-6.6, which then emits strong fluorescence characteristic of Tb³⁺.

A new Schiff base ligand, 3-tryptimino-1-phenyl-butan-1-one (TPB), was synthesized.

A ratiometric fluorescent probe for zinc ions based on the quinoline fluorophore

A ratiometric fluorescent zinc probe 1 of carboxamidoquinoline with a carboxylic acid group was designed and synthesised. Probe 1 exhibits high selectivity for sensing Zn²⁺; about a 13-fold increase in fluorescence emission intensity and an 82?nm red-shift of fluorescence emission are observed upon binding Zn²⁺ in EtOH/H₂O (1?:?1, V/V) solution. The ratiometric fluorescence response is attributed to the 1?:?1 complex formation between probe 1 and Zn²⁺ which has been utilised as the basis for the selective detection of Zn²⁺. The analytical performance characteristics of the proposed Zn²⁺-sensitive probe were investigated. The linear response range covers a concentration range of Zn²⁺ from 2.0?×?10^?6 to 5.0?×?10^?5?mol?L^?1 and the detection limit is 2.7?×?10^?7?mol?L^?1.

A new spectrofluorimetric method is described for the determination of uric acid (UA), that can remarkably reduce the fluorescence intensity of the enoxacin (ENX)-terbium ion (Tb³⁺) complex at 545 nm. The reduced fluorescence intensity of Tb³⁺ ion at pH 5.7 is proportional to the concentration of UA. Optimum conditions for the determination of UA have been investigated.

Terbium sensitized luminescence for the determination of fexofenadine in pharmaceutical formulations

A sensitive and specific luminescence method for the determination of Fexofenadine (FEX), in pharmaceutical formulations is reported. The method is based on the sensitization of terbium (Tb³⁺) by complex formation with FEX. The luminescence signal for Tb–FEX complex is greatly enhanced by the addition of triethylamine (ET₃N) and zinc nitrate in methanol solution. Monitoring of the signal is accomplished when the instrument is in the phosphorescence mode with the excitation and emission wavelengths set at λ_ex = 220 nm and λ_em = 550 nm respectively. Optimum conditions for the formation of the complex in methanol were 2.25 × 10^?6 M of Tb³⁺, 5.00 × 10^?6 M of Et₃N and Zn²⁺ which allows for the determination of 10–800 ppb of FEX in the batch mode with a detection limit of 0.3 ppb.
