In the world of nanotechnology, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been considerably employed in numerous optical sensing and bioanalytical applications. Herein, a simple and cost-efficient methodology was developed to the quantification of deferiprone in plasma samples by utilizing the selective interaction of the GQDs and drug in the presence of Fe3+ ions. GQDs were synthesized by a bottom-up technique as an advantageous fluorescent probe. Increasing levels of deferiprone ranging from 5 to 50 mg.L-1, leads to significant fluorescence quenching of GQDs. In addition, the calibration curve was revealed a linear response in this range with a sensitivity of 5 mg.L-1. The method validation was carried out according to the FDA guidelines to confirm the accuracy, precision, stability and selectivity of the developed method. The results show that this green and low-cost fluorescent probe could be used for the analysis of deferiprone.
