Abstract

A highly accurate and precise spectrofluorimetric method was established for quantitation of Gatifloxacin in pure material, pharmaceutical formulations and in the existence of its oxidative degradation product. The emission was recorded at 487 nm after the excitation at 290 nm. Using micelle, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), enhanced fluorescence intensity of Gatifloxacin-SDS complex. The optimization of numerous experimental conditions was carried out. The improved emission showed a suitable linear correlation between derivative synchronous fluorescence power and concentration of Gatifloxacin over the range of 10 to 100 ng/mL with a determination coefficient equals 0.9996. Studying cytotoxicity and antimicrobial susceptibility for oxidative degradation product of Gatifloxacin was carried out using Gatifloxacin as a control. In comparison, the proposed method presented a superior sensitivity and enhanced stability over the reported method.
