Development, Optimization, and Validation of a Green Spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of Moxifloxacin using an Experimental design approach Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Green chemistry is an emerging field concerned with safe practices in chemical method development. The purpose of the study is to develop a sensitive, environmentally friendly spectrofluorimetric method by studying and optimizing variables affecting the native fluorescence intensity of Moxifloxacin using experimental design approach. The analysis was divided into three phases: studying and screening the critical factors using 2-level full factorial design, optimization using central composite design and validation according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The optimal experimental conditions obtained from this study were 0.05 M phosphate buffer with an adjusted buffer pH of 9.7 and a temperature of 7.4°C±0.5, providing a sensitive measurement of MOX. The validated method providing to be linear over a range of 5-40ng/mL (r= 0.9999), precise, accurate, and robust (demonstrated by the Plackett-Burman design). It can be concluded that the validated method can be safe, optimum, and environmentally friendly alternative for the analysis of MOX.
