ABSTRACT
A sensitive and accurate spectrofluorimetric method was proposed for the determination of Sacubitril calcium and Valsartan simultaneously in binary mixture. The method was established on measuring the native fluorescence of Sacubitril calcium and Valsartan upon excitation at 240 nm in acetonitrile. The emission of Sacubitril calcium was measured at 615 nm. For the determination Valsartan a first derivative ratio method was employed to eliminate any spectral interference. The ratio emission spectra were achieved by dividing the emission spectra of various concentrations of Valsartan by the emission spectrum of Sacubitril calcium (100 ng/ml) then the first derivative of the obtained ratio emission spectra was recorded using the proper smoothing factor. The amplitude at 354.9 nm on the first derivative ratio emission spectrum was used to calculate the concentrations of Valsartan in presence of Sacubitril calcium. The method was linear over the concentration range 100-1000 ng/ml for both Sacubitril calcium and Valsartan. The mean accuracy values were found to be 99.32 ± 0.62 and 99.30 ± 0.70 for Sacubitril calcium and Valsartan, respectively. Statistical comparison between results obtained by the proposed method and a reported method for this drugs showed no significant difference. This developed method was used for the quantitative determination of Sacubitril calcium and Valsartan in both pure and pharmaceutical dosage form.
