Host-guest Assembly Based on γ-Cyclodextrin-functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Rutin Electrochemical Sensing

Here, we report multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with γ-cyclodextrins (γCD) as a novel electrochemical strategy for Rutin determination, showing superior performance than β-cyclodextrins (βCD) modified MWCNTs, suggesting an adequate environment for host-guest interactions. Under optimized conditions, the sensor showed a linear range of 39–975 nmol L⁻¹ and a limit of detection of 7 nmol L⁻¹. When tested with quercetin, catechin, and caffeine, the platform presented high selectivity with an interference response <10 %. The method was employed to quantify Rutin in spiked pharmaceutical and herbal extracts, providing recovery of 93–98.4 %. Also, HPLC-PDA confirmed the method‘s accuracy.     

Fabrication of a novel electrochemical sensor based on tin disulfide/multi-walled carbon nanotunbes-modified electrode for rutin determination in natural vegetation

A tin disulfide and multi-walled carbon nanotube (SnS₂/CNTs) electrochemical sensor was constructed for the sensitive and selective determination of rutin in plants. Tin disulfide nanoflowers with various particle sizes were prepared by controlling the reaction time and composited with multi-walled CNTs. The morphology, crystal structure, and chemical composition of these SnS₂/CNTs composites were characterized using XRD, XPS, and SEM-EDS. Results illustrated that the SnS₂/CNTs had a large specific surface area, good conductivity, and remarkable electrocatalytic performance. The pH of the buffer solution, the scanning rate, and the amount of modified material were also optimized for the rapid detection of rutin. A 2-electron-2-proton mechanism, involving a few rapid and consecutive stages, was speculated to occur during rutin oxidation, based on the observed slope of -53 mV/pH. There was an appreciable linear relationship between the reductive peak current from DPV and the rutin concentration, ranging from 0.005-0.05 µmol/L and 0.1-6 µmol/L, with a detection limit of 0.22 nmol/L (S/N = 3). The sensor also demonstrated good selectivity, excellent sensitivity, and reproducibility when analyzing rutin in real plant samples, with satisfactory recovery, and was also highly consistent with results of HPLC, and thus could be used to evaluate the medicinal value of natural vegetation.     

Simultaneous characterization and quantification of flavonoids in Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Siebold from different origins by HPLC-PAD–MS

A high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-PAD–ESI-MS) method has been developed for the simultaneous identification and quantification of active compounds (rutin and quercetin) contained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Siebold (EAS). The herb samples from ten main origins and five medicinal portions (leaf, fruit, stem, pterygium and root) were investigated. The separation was performed on a Shim C₁₈ column at 30 °C with an isocratic elution. Methanol (A) and water (0.5% methanoic acid, v/v) (B) were used as mobile phases. The recoveries of the two compounds were 100.184% and 100.417%, respectively, and all of them showed good linearity (r² ? 0.9993) in relatively wide concentration ranges. The developed method was applied to identify and quantify the two major active compounds in the collected herb samples, and the results indicated that contents of the two compounds in EAS varied significantly from habitat to habitat. It was demonstrated that the proposed method was helpful for the quality evaluation of EAS.     

Rutin as an Electrochemical Mediator in the Determination of Captopril using a Graphite Paste Electrode

A simple, rapid and sensitive cyclic voltammetry method is described for the determination of the antihypertensive drug captopril in aqueous solution using a graphite paste electrode with rutin as mediator. The catalytic role of rutin in the oxidation of captopril was confirmed by the increase observed in anodic peak current at+0.44 V vs. SCE in the presence of the mediator. Anodic peak current varied linearly with the concentration of captopril in the dynamic range 0.2 to 1.0 mmol L^?1. The method exhibited a limit of detection of 89.4 μmol L^?1 and a reproducibility of 1 %, values that are comparable with those exhibited by other methodologies employing electrodes without any modification. The recovery rate for the determination of captopril in a pharmaceutical sample was good (91.21 %) suggesting that the described analytical technique would be effective in industrial applications whilst offering a number of advantages over published cyclic voltammetric methods.

Determination of rutin and forsythin in fruit ofForsythia suspensa(Thunb.) Vahl by capillary electrophoresis-electrochemical detection

Summary Capillary electrophoresis-amperometric detection is evaluated for simultaneous determination of rutin and forsythin. The cyclic voltammogram, hydrodynamic voltammogram, effect of pH, buffer concentration and SDS, and percent organic modifier on separation and detection were studied. Conditions were optimized as follows: 1.2 V detection potential; separation at 12 kV; 5 s at 15 kV for sample injection time and sample injection voltage; mobile phase 20 mM boric acid buffer; pH 8.4, containing 40 mM SDS and 10% (v/v) acetontrile. The method gave low detection limit as 0.001 mg mL⁻¹ and 0.0005 mg mL⁻¹ (S/N=3), wide linear range 0.005–0.5 mg mL⁻¹ for rutin and forsythin, respectively. The relative standard deviations of peak current and migration time for 8 consecutive injections of the standard solution containing 0.1 mg mL⁻¹ each compound were 4.78%, 3.63% and 6.40%, 2.95% for rutin and forsythin, respectively. In addition, levels of the two compounds in traditional Chinese herbal drugs were easily determined.

Preparation of Novel Arrays Silver Nanoparticles Modified Polyrutin Coat‐Paraffin‐Impregnated Graphite Electrode for Tyrosine and Tryptophan's Oxidation

A novel array silver nanoparticles and Rutin complex film modified paraffin‐impregnated graphite electrode was proposed in this work (denoted as Ag/Rutin/WGE). The characteristics were investigated by the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), infrared spectra (IR), UV‐visible (UV), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical techniques. Silver ions were gradually chelated by polyrutin film at 4′‐oxo‐5′‐OH and 5‐OH‐4‐oxo sites accompanying adsorption, then. Silver nanoparticles were highly‐dispersed electrodeposited on polyrutin film. The electrochemical behaviors of tyrosine (Tyr) and tryptophan (Trp) were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. The Ag/Rutin/WGE electrode shows overlapping catalysis for the oxidation of Tyr and Trp. The linear response of Tyr and Trp were 0.3–10.0 and 0.7–70.0 μM with detection limit of 0.07 and 0.1 μM in a signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3.
