Abstract
Chlorin e6 is a chlorine-based porphyrin containing photosensitizer mainly used for the therapy in cancers like neck and head, early-stage lung cancer, and topical skin cancers. The present study provides a comprehensive account of a highly sensitive, precise, and validated method for the quantification of chlorin e6 in its liposomal formulation. This method is based on the systemic study of the fluorescence action of chlorin e6 in acetonitrile solvent. This experiment follows the analytical method validation parameters as per the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). Chlorin e6 molecule exhibits strong fluorescence at a wavelength of emission 665nm, upon excitation at a wavelength of excitation 400nm in acetonitrile. The linearity of the fluorescence concentration plot was observed over a concentration range of 50 to 1000ng/mL. The developed and validated method was successfully applied for the estimation of encapsulation efficiency in in-house developed stealth liposomes. Also, stock solution stability and photodegradation study of chlorin e6 were further conducted.
