Sumario:Autism is one of the most pressing issues facing the international community in recent years, particularly in Middle Eastern countries. Risperidone is a selective serotonin type 2 and dopamine type 2 receptor antagonist. It is the most administered antipsychotic medication in children with autism-related behavioral disorders. Therapeutic monitoring of risperidone may improve safety and efficacy in autistic individuals. The main objective of this work was to develop a highly sensitive green fitted method for the determination of risperidone in the plasma matrix and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Novel water-soluble N–carbon quantum dots were synthesized from guava fruit, a natural green precursor, and used for determination of risperidone based on quenching fluorescence spectroscopy phenomena. The synthesized dots were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The synthesized N–carbon quantum dots exhibited aquantum yield of 26.12% and showed a strong emission fluorescence peak at 475 nm when excited at 380 nm. The fluorescence intensity of the N–carbon quantum dots decreased with increasing risperidone concentration, indicating that the fluorescence quenching was concentration dependent. The presented method was carefully optimized and validated according to the guidelines of ICH, and it demonstrated good linearity in a concentration range of 5–150 ng mL(−1). With a LOD of 1.379 ng mL(−1) and a LOQ of 4.108 ng mL(−1), the technique was extremely sensitive. Due to the high sensitivity of the proposed method, it could be effectively used for the determination of risperidone in the plasma matrix. The proposed method was compared with the previously reported HPLC method in terms of sensitivity and green chemistry metrics. The proposed method proved to be more sensitive and compatible with the principles of green analytical chemistry.
