Abstract A novel spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for determination of antazoline (ANT) and tetryzoline (TET) in their pharmaceutical formulation. A combined application of synchronous spectrofluorimetry and second derivative mathematical treatment was developed. The proposed method depends on reacting the cited drugs with dansyl chloride (DNS‐Cl) being a suitable derivatizing agent generating highly fluorescent derivatives measured at emission wavelengths of 703.0 and 642.0 nm after excitation wavelengths of 350.0 and 320.0 nm for ANT and TET, respectively. The joint use of synchronous spectrofluorimetry with second derivative mathematical treatment is for the first time to be developed and optimized in aid of using fluorescence data manager software generating second derivative peak amplitudes at 556.5 nm for ANT and 516.7 nm for TET. Linear responses have been represented over a wide range of concentration (0.5–12.0 μg/mL for ANT and 0.5–10.0 μg/mL for TET). Additionally, statistical comparison of the developed method with the official ones has been carried out where no significant difference was found. Additionally, greenness profile assessment was accomplished by means of four metric tools. Indeed, the method developed is found to be precise, sensitive, and discriminating to assess the cited drugs for regular analysis.
