Description
Summary:Pemetrexed is a chemotherapeutic medicine, under the trade name Alimta. Malignant pleural mesothelioma patients. Its application in lung cancer has been studied. Here in, a second spectrofluorimetric method was advanced for quantifying of Pemetrexed in pharmaceutical formulation and spiked human plasma. That method depends on fluorescence derivatization of Pemetrexed with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl) at 75 °C in a (pH 9) of borate buffer to produce a fluorescent derivative which can be detected at 520 nm afterwards excitation at 460 nm. The method has been validated using ICH criteria, and it demonstrated linearity in a range of 2-120 ngmL-1. The proposed method was applied precisely and accurately for quantifying Pemetrexed within pharmaceutical formulation and spiking human plasma without any interferences. Moreover, the method's sustainability was evaluated and compared to the published method using two greenness assessment tools termed analytical eco-scale and Analytical GREENness (AGREE). That findings suggest that the method is more sustainable than the published method.
