The supramolecular interaction of β-cyclodextrin dimer with berberine hydrochloride was studied in aqueous KH2PO4–H3PO4 buffer solution of pH 2.00 at room temperature by spectrofluorimetry. The apparent association constant of the complex was 1.53 × 104 L mol−1. Based on the significant enhancement of fluorescence intensity of supramolecular sandwich complexes, a spectrofluorimetric method with high sensitivity and selectivity was developed for the determination of berberine hydrochloride in aqueous solution in presence of ethylenediamine linked β-CD dimer. The linear range of the method was 12.8–1.00 × 104 ng mL−1 with the detection limit 3.6 ng mL−1. There was no interference from the normally used in tablets and serum constituents. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of berberine hydrochloride in tablets and serum. And then it has a promising potential in therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmokinetis and clinical application.
