Fluorimetric determination of salsalate in urine, serum and pharmaceutical preparations.

A method for the determination of salsalate at concentrations between 0.10 and 1.00 mug ml(-1) by means of fluorescence spectrometry technique is proposed.

Determination of ciprofloxacin, the major metabolite of enrofloxacin, in milk by isopotential fluorimetry.

A new method for the determination of ciprofloxacin, the major metabolite of enrofloxacin, for concentrations between 20 and 200 ng/mL by means of matrix isopotential synchronous fluorescence spectrometry and derivative techniques is proposed. This new method is useful for the determination of compounds in samples with unknown background fluorescence, such as ciprofloxacin in whey, without the need of tedious preseparation. The determination was performed in an ethanol/water medium (20% v/v) at pH 4.

Simultaneous determination of two anti-inflammatory drugs in serum using isopotential fluorimetry.

The simultaneous determination of 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid (6MNA) and diflunisal in serum samples using the combination of matrix isopotential synchronous fluorescence (MISF) and first derivative technique is proposed. 6MNA and diflunisal exhibit overlapped spectra and serum produces background fluorescence that precludes the direct determination of these anti-inflammatory drugs by conventional fluorimetry. This method provides good analytical results for determination of compounds in samples with unknown background fluorescence.

Direct determination of closely overlapping drug mixtures of diflunisal and salicylic acid in serum by means of derivative matrix isopotential synchronous fluorescence spectrometry.

A direct method for the simultaneous fluorimetric determination of two anti-inflammatory drugs in serum is proposed. The combination of matrix isopotential synchronous fluorescence (MISF) and first derivative technique provides good analytical results and permits the simultaneous determination of diflunisal and salicylic acid in human serum. MISF spectra are obtained by calculating the isopotential trajectory in the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum for a serum solution.

Direct determination of 1-naphthoxylactic acid in biological fluids by non-protected fluid room temperature phosphorimetry.

A selective and sensitive room-temperature phosphorimetric method for the direct determination of 1-naphthoxylactic acid (NA) in biological fluids is described. It is based on obtaining a phosphorescence signal from NA using TlNO3 as a heavy atom perturber and Na2SO3 as a deoxygenator without a protective medium. This technique is named non-protected room-temperature phosphorescence (NP-RTP), which allows to determine analytes in complex matrices without the need for tedious prior separation.

Simultaneous determination of salicylamide and salsalate in serum and urine by first derivative variable-angle synchronous fluorescence spectrometry.

The determination of salicylamide and salsalate in human serum and urine is performed using a simple, rapid, sensitive, and selective method. The broad-band overlapping conventional spectra of both compounds are resolved by means of first derivative variable-angle synchronous fluorescence spectrometry. The method is based on the intrinsic fluorescence of both drugs in chloroformic solution.

Direct determination of dipyridamole in serum.

A new method for the determination of dipyridamole in serum for concentrations between 10 and 100 ng ml-1 by means of matrix isopotential synchronous fluorescence spectrometry and derivative techniques is proposed. This new method is useful for the determination of compounds in samples with unknown background fluorescence, such as dipyridamole in serum, without the need for tedious preseparation. The determination was performed in an ethanol/water medium (15% v/v) at a pH value of 10.
