Avapritinib (AVA) is the first medication authorized by the US-FDA in 2020 for the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) that can't be treated by surgery. Cancer is among the most common causes of death worldwide and is the second most common cause of death after cardiovascular disease. Therefore, a quick, easy, sensitive, and straightforward fluorimetric approach was used to analyse AVA in pharmaceutical materials and blood plasma (pharmacokinetic). The suggested technique relies on 2% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS, pH 4) micellar system augmentation of the fluorescence of the tested drug. The technique demonstrated high relative fluorescence intensity (RFI) at 430 nm after excitation at 340 nm. Concentrations ranging from 20.0-400.0 ng mL-1 with a limit of quantitation of 9.47 ng mL-1 were used to obtain luminescence data for the studied medicine. In addition, the quantum yield of the AVA fluorescence was increased with the gradual addition of a surfactant at a concentration above its critical micellar level. This knowledge has been exploited to enhance the effectiveness of a spectrofluorometric technique for the estimation of AVA in human plasma (98.95 ± 1.22%) and uniformity tests with greenness assessments. The conditions for enhanced fluorescence were optimized and fully validated using US-FDA and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) rules. This innovative strategy was expanded for AVA stability research in human plasma across various circumstances. This approach is an eco-friendly solution compared to traditional testing methods that use hazardous chemicals.
