Micelle-enhanced spectrofluorimetric method for determination of lacidipine in tablet form; application to content uniformity testing.

A highly sensitive, simple and rapid spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of lacidipine (LCP) in tablets. The proposed method is based on the investigation of the fluorescence spectral behavior of LCP in both sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and the tween-80 micellar system. In aqueous solutions of acetate buffer (pH 4.5), the fluorescence intensities of LCP were greatly enhanced (ca. 2.4 and 4.3 folds) in the presence of either SDS or tween-80, respectively. The fluorescence intensity was measured at 444 nm after excitation at 277 nm using either SDS or tween-80 as a surfactant. The fluorescence-concentration plots were rectilinear over the ranges of 50.0-500.0 ng/ml and 5.0-200.0 ng/ml with lower detection limits of 5.11 and 2.06 ng/ml and lower quantification limits of 17 and 6.87 ng/ml using SDS and tween-80, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of LCP in commercial tablets and the results were in good agreement with those obtained with the comparison method. Furthermore, content uniformity testing of pharmaceutical tablets was also conducted.
