Introduction

Research describes a sensitive spectrophotometric approach for copper quantification in various environmental and biological matrices. This method hinges on the formation of a complex between copper(II) and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) in an acidic environment. The technique boasts good linearity, low detection limits, and high accuracy, proving useful for routine analysis in environmental monitoring and clinical diagnostics [1].

Moving into drug analysis, highly sensitive and selective spectrophotometric methods have been introduced for quantifying several antiviral drugs. These methods are applicable in pharmaceutical formulations and human plasma. Leveraging derivatization reactions, they enable precise analysis, critical for drug quality control and therapeutic monitoring. The robustness of this approach is evident in its minimal interference from complex biological matrices [2].

In the realm of antifungal medications, novel spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods exist for determining fluconazole and voriconazole. These techniques utilize carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as sensitive probes, which enhance analytical performance due to their unique optical properties. This dual-mode strategy offers high sensitivity and specificity, providing versatile tools for pharmaceutical analysis [3].

Shifting focus to environmentally conscious practices, a green spectrophotometric method has been developed for quantifying antidepressant drugs in pharmaceutical formulations.

One smart spectrophotometric method enables the simultaneous quantification of five antidiabetic drugs in binary and ternary mixtures with metformin. This technique uses advanced chemometric tools to resolve spectral overlaps, delivering excellent selectivity and accuracy for complex pharmaceutical samples, thereby enhancing efficiency in quality control [7]. Another smart spectrophotometric method focuses on determining several antidiabetic drugs in pharmaceutical formulations through innovative sample treatment and detection strategies, ensuring reliability and efficiency for routine quality control [8]. Beyond pure spectrophotometry, methods like the fabrication of a Cu-BDC-MOF-based carbon paste electrode for acetaminophen determination combine square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry with spectrophotometry. This integrated approach offers superior sensitivity and selectivity, indicating its potential for accurate quantification in challenging matrices such as food samples [10]. These diverse applications highlight the adaptability and continuous evolution of spectrophotometric techniques across various scientific disciplines.
