Abstract
Gemifloxacin mesylate (GMF) is a fourth generation fluoroquinolone antibacterial synthetic broad-spectrum agent for oral administration with enhanced affinity for bacterial topoisomerase IV and is being developed for the treatment of respiratory and urinary tract infections. The compound has a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. There are different analytical methods available to determine GMF applied in quality control of this medicine in order to ensure its effectiveness and safety. A large number of methodologies including UV-visible spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, high performance liquid chromatography, electrochemical and capillary electrophoresis methods have been developed for the quantitation of GMF in bulk, pharmaceutical, and biological samples. UV-spectrophotometric methods lacked wide linear dynamic ranges and sensitivity. There is some scope for developing methods based on ion-association reactions using many acidic anionic dyes, charge-transfer complexation reactions using substituted p-benzoquinone, polynitro phenols, nitro derivatives, etc., and oxidative coupling reactions involving 3-methyl-2-benzo thiazolinone hydrazone and oxidants like cerium(IV), iron(III), permanganate etc.. This paper will attempt to review several published methodologies and the instrumental conditions, which have been applied to measure GMF and within the last 17 years.
