Abstract

Three novel polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane sensors for the determination of gemifoxacin mesylate are described and characterized. The sensors are based on the use of the ion association complexes of gemifoxacin cation with ammonium reineckate counter anions as ion exchange sites in the PVC matrix. The membranes incorporate ion association complexes of gemifoxacin with dibutylsebathete (sensor 1), dioctylphthalate (sensor 2), nitrophenyl octyl ether (sensor 3). The performance characteristics of these sensors were evaluated according to IUPAC recommendations, which reveal a fast, stable and linear response for gemifoxacin over the concentration range of 10-5-10-2 M for the three sensors with cationic slopes of -14.30, -20.44 and -22.37 mV per concentration decade for the three sensors, respectively. The proposed sensors displayed useful analytical characteristics for the determination of gemifoxacin mesylate in bulk powder, pharmaceutical formulation, and biological fluids (plasma) and in the presence of its acid degradation products and thus could be used for stability-indicating studies. Validation of the method shows suitability of the proposed sensors for use in the quality control assessment of gemifoxacin mesylate. The developed method was found to be simple, accurate and precise when compared with a manufacturer HPLC method.

Supramolecular gemifloxacin (GF) sensors have been developed. Supramolecular chemistry is primarily concerned with noncovalent intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, which are far weaker than covalent connections, but they can be exploited to develop sensors with remarkable affinity for a target analyte. In order to determine the dose form of the quinolone antibacterial drug gemifloxacin, the current study's goal is to adapt three polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane sensors into an electrochemical technique. Three new potentiometric membrane sensors with cylindric form and responsive to gemifloxacin (GF) were developed. The sensors' setup is based on the usage of o-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as a plasticizer in a PVC matrix, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) (sensor 1), γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) (sensor 2), and 4-tert-butylcalix[8]arene (calixarene) (sensor 3) as an ionophore, potassium tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate (KTpClPB) as an ion additive for determination of GF. The developed method was verified according to IUPAC guidelines. The sensors under examination have good selectivity for GF, according to their selectivity coefficients. The constructed sensors demonstrated a significant response towards to GF over a concentration range of 2.4 × 10-6, 2.7 × 10-6, and 2.42 × 10-6 mol L-1 for sensors 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The sensors showed near-Nernstian cationic response for GF at 55 mV, 56 mV, and 60 mV per decade for sensors 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Good recovery and relative standard deviations during the day and between days are displayed by the sensors. They demonstrated good stability, quick response times, long lives, rapid recovery, and precision while also exhibiting good selectivity for GF in various matrices. To determine GF in bulk and dose form, the developed sensors have been successfully deployed. The sensors were also employed as end-point indicators for titrating GF with sodium tetraphenyl borate.

Development and Validation of Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluores-cence Detector (RP-HPLC-FL) Method for the Determination of Gemifloxacin in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms. Bi-omed J Sci & Tech Res 43(3)-2022. BJSTR. MS.ID.006895. Gemofloxacin (GEMI) is a potent antibiotic for the treatment of infection caused by gram-positive bacteria, especially streptococcus pneumonia. It is belonging to fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is the more active antibacterial agent among the agents in the same class. A reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography has been developed for the determination of GEMI in pharmaceutical dosage form. The separation was carried out using Hichrom packing Kromasil-100-C18 (250 mm×4.6 mm) with particle size of 5 μm and mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: 10 mM phosphate buffer at pH 3 (15:85) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. GEMI was monitored by fluorescence detector set at λex/λem 268 / 390 nm. The method was statistically validated with respect to linearity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ), precision and accuracy. and the linearity. The method was found to be linear in concentration range of 10-150 ng/mL. The LOD and LOQ were measured to be 2.56 ng/ mL and 7.77 ng/mL, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of GEMI in tablets formulation.
... Many of these methods are complicated, require derivatization procedures, sophisticated instrumentation and pretreatment steps and are time and labor consuming. A literature survey showed that there were four reports for the potentiometric determination of GEMI, as shown in Table S1 [19,[26][27][28]. However, none of these electrodes were applied for the determination of GEMI in environmental samples and some of them involved the complicated and tedious procedure of manufacturing a molecularly imprinted polymer while others were liquid state ISEs which were less stable, more complicated with inner filling solution and difficult to miniaturize in comparison to their solid-contact, screen-printed counterparts developed in this work. ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a neglected issue that poses a serious global threat to public health, causing long-term negative consequences at both humanitarian and economic levels. Herein, we report an unprecedented economic fabrication method of seven potentiometric screen-printed sensors for the ultra-trace determination of gemifloxacin (GEMI) as a model of the fluoroquinolones antibiotics deeply involved in the growing AMR problem. Sensors were constructed by depositing homemade carbon ink on a recycled X-ray sheet, patterned using stencils printed with an office printer in simple, cost-effective steps requiring no sophisticated equipment. Four sensors were modified using carbon quantum dots (CQDs) synthesized from dextrose through a single-step method. Sensors exhibited a linear response in the concentration ranges 10−5−10−2 M (sensors 1, 3 and 4), 10−6−10−3 M (sensor 2) and 10−6−10−2 M (sensors 5, 6 and 7). LOD allowed tracing of the target drug at a nano-molar level down to 210 nM. GEMI was successfully determined in pharmaceutical formulations and different water samples without any pretreatment steps with satisfactory recovery (96.93–105.28% with SD values <3). All sensors revealed a long lifetime of up to several months and are considered promising tools for monitoring water quality and efficiency of water treatment measures.

Eight molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized for the determination of the antibacterial agent gemifloxacin mesylate (GFM). The polymers were prepared using GFM as a template, methacrylic acid (MAA) or 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) as functional monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross linker, 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator and a mixture of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)/acetonitrile (ACN) (1:1, v/v) as a porogen. The optimized polymer was utilized as a solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent material for GFM from different matrices. Different loading, washing and elution protocols were investigated. Quantitative analysis of the extracts was performed using a newly developed ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) method on an Acquity BEH C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, particle size of 1.7 µm). The isocratic mobile phase was a mixture of methanol (MeOH)/water (H2O) with 0.1% formic acid (70:30, v/v), the flow rate was 0.3 mL min⁻¹ and the column temperature was 40 °C. Lomefloxacin (LOM) was used as an internal standard. The developed method was validated based on the recommendations of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and was found suitable for the extraction of GFM from a pharmaceutical drug preparation and spiked human urine samples. Recovery % values ranged from 90.24 to 112.8% with relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 7%. Graphic Abstract Open image in new window

Five chromatographicandspectrophotometric methods have been developed for the determination of gemifloxacin (GF) in bulk powder and pharmaceutical preparations. The first method depends on RP HPLC, separation of drug& degradation products was successfully achieved on a Hypersil BDS C18 column using mobile phase consisted of citrate buffer adjusted to 2.5 PH by citric acid:Acetonitrile (70:30, v/v) at 1ml/min flow rate and 267 nm wavelength of detection. Another chromatographic method which achieved successful separation of drug& its degradation products depends on TLC densitometryusing mobile phase consisted of chloroform:methanol:toluene:diethylamine:water(33.6:33.6:16.8:10.8:6,v/v/v/v/v) with 20μl spotting volume& 260 nm wavelength of detection. Other threesimple, rapid and sensitive UV methods have been developed for GF estimation in presence ofits degradation products. One method depends on the first order derivative where GF shows sharp peak at 258.6 nm.Another method depends on derivative ratio technique by dividing the GF absorbance on that of its degradation&transforming the resulting curve into first order derivative showing a sharp peak at 285 nm. Last method depends on measuring the difference in GF absorbance in 0.1N HCL&0.1 N NaOH and transforming the difference into second order derivative showing a sharp peak at 288.2 nm. The drug follows the Beer's Lamberts for these three UV methods. The results obtained from the five proposed methods were validated statistically & by recovery studies and were found to be satisfactory.

A simple, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated to evaluate the accumulation of gemifloxacin in different tissues of Wister albino rat. The analytical method consists of the homogenization of tissues followed by simple liquid-liquid extraction and determination of gemifloxacin by an LC-MS/MS. The analyte was separated on a Peerless basic C(18) column (33 mm x 4.6 mm, 3 microm) with an isocratic mobile phase of methanol-water containing formic acid (1.0%, v/v) (9:1, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min. The MS/MS detection was carried out by monitoring the fragmentation of m/z 390.100-->372.100 for gemifloxacin and m/z 332.100-->314.200 for ciprofloxacin (internal standard; IS) on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The validated method was accurate, precise and rugged with good linearity in all tissue homogenates. The accuracy and precision value obtained from six different sets of quality control samples of all tissues and serum analyzed in separate occasions within 91.833-102.283% and 0.897-5.291%, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to tissue distribution studies of gemifloxacin. The present study demonstrates that the highest tissue concentration of gemifloxacin was obtained in lung (11.891 ng/g), followed by liver (10.110 ng/g), kidney (10.095 ng/g), heart (4.251 ng/g), testis (3.750 ng/g), stomach (3.182 ng/g), adipose tissue (1.116 ng/g) and brain (0.982 ng/ml) in 3h after multiple oral dosing of 200mg gemifloxacin mesylate for 7 days. This method may also be used for gemifloxacin tissue distribution modeling study in rat tissues and antibiotic residue analyses in other animal tissues.

A new racemic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, gemifloxacin mesylate, has been successfully resolved on a chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid. Compared to the Crownpak CR(+) column, the CSP used in this study was more effective for the resolution of racemic gemifloxacin mesylate, especially in terms of analytical time. The resolution of gemifloxacin mesylate enantiomers on the CSP was found to be dependent on the type and content of organic and acidic modifiers in the aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature.

(+)-(18-crown-6)-tetracarboxylic acid (18C6H4) has been known as a highly efficient chiral selector for resolving primary amine enantiomers in capillary electrophoresis (CE). We investigated the chiral separation of gemifloxacin using 18C6H4 in analytical counter-current chromatography (CCC). The separation conditions for CE, including the binding constant, pH, and run buffer constituents, provided a helpful guideline for chiral CCC. A successful separation of gemifloxacin enantiomers could be achieved using a two-phase solvent system composed of 1-butanol-ethyl-acetate-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminotris(hydroxymethyl)methane acetate buffer with a small amount of 18C6H4. The hydrophobicity of the solvent system and the 18C6H4 concentration were varied to optimize the chiral separation.
