HPLC-Fluorescent Analysis of Memantine: An Investigation on Fluorescent Derivative Formation by Pornpan Prapatpong, Thanayu Techa-In, Wantaporn Padungpuak, Sawanya Buranaphalin, Leena Suntornsuk

“…Due to the lack of chromophores/fluorophores in memantine molecule, this work focuses on a novel procedure for memantine-fluorescent derivative formation enabling it to be monitored by a fluorescence detector. 4-(N-Chloroformylmethyl-N-methyl)amino-7-N,N-dimethylaminosulphonyl 2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-COCl) was chosen as a fluorescent probe since the carbonyl chloride of DBD-COCl could easily react with the amine on memantine to form the fluorescent derivative. …”
