Abstract

A sensitive and specific luminescence method for the determination of Fexofenadine (FEX), in pharmaceutical formulations is reported. The method is based on the sensitization of terbium (Tb³⁺) by complex formation with FEX. The luminescence signal for Tb-FEX complex is greatly enhanced by the addition of triethylamine (ET₃N) and zinc nitrate in methanol solution. Monitoring of the signal is accomplished when the instrument is in the phosphorescence mode with the excitation and emission wavelengths set at λ _ex =220nm and λ _em =550nm respectively. Optimum conditions for the formation of the complex in methanol were 2.25×10^-6 M of Tb³⁺, 5.00×10^-6 M of Et₃N and Zn²⁺ which allows for the determination of 10-800ppb of FEX in the batch mode with a detection limit of 0.3ppb. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of FEX in pharmaceutical formulations.
