title: Analytical method based on room-temperature phosphorimetry for the determination of rescinamine in pharmaceutical tablets.
abstract: An analytical method based on solid surface room temperature phosphorescence (SSRTP) for the determination of rescinamine was developed. Signal enhancements were obtained by heavy atom effect, use of surfactant agent and use of basic medium. Alternatively, an ultraviolet treatment of the analyte was tried in order to induce a phoshor with higher phosphorescence quantum efficiency. A limit of detection of 2.70 ng and linear dynamic range of 2 orders of magnitude were achieved in paper substrate treated for background reduction. A study was performed to verify potential interferences of several pharmacological active ingredients that could be associated with rescinamine in a pharmaceutical preparation. The method was tested by analyzing rescinamine in three different laboratory-made tablets.
