Highly sensitive cadmium sulphide quantum dots as a fluorescent probe for estimation of doripenem in real human plasma: application to pharmacokinetic study.

Thioglycolic acid-capped cadmium sulphide quantum dots (TGA-CdS QDs) have been synthesized and utilized as a fluorescent probe for the estimation of doripenem (DOR). Monitoring of DOR in different biological fluids is required to estimate the efficient dose to avoid bacterial infections and resistance. The investigated method is based on the measurement of fluorescence quenching of TGA-CdS QDs after the addition of DOR.
