In this work, the method of methyl-β-cyclodextrin (methyl-β-CD) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) cooperatively sensitized fluorescence analysis to determine levofloxacin (LVFX) was developed. The results were shown that, in the system of methyl-β-cyclodextrin-CTAB, the fluorescence intensity of LVFX increased a lot than in H 2 O medium. Under the conditions of λ ex/em =330/507 nm and pH 4.5, the linear range and the detection limit for LVFX were found to be 0.04 ~ 4.0 μg/mL and 0.316 ng/mL, respectively. The mechanism of sensitized fluorescence method was discussed by the Benesi-Hildebrand method and the fluorescence quantum yield of fluorescence. The proposed method has been applied for the determination of LVFX in eye drops real samples with satisfactory recovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
