Electrochemical behaviors of guanosine on carbon ionic liquid electrode and its determination

The electrochemical behaviors of guanosine on the ionic liquid of N-butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (BPPF₆) modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) was studied in this paper and further used for guanosine detection. Guanosine showed an adsorption irreversible oxidation process on the carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) with the oxidation peak potential located at 1.12 V (vs. SCE) in a pH 4.5 Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution. Compared with that on the traditional carbon paste electrode, small shift of the oxidation peak potentials appeared but with a great increment of the oxidation peak current on the CILE, which was due to the presence of ionic liquid in the modified electrode adsorbed the guanosine on the surface and promoted the electrochemical response. The electrochemical parameters such as the electron transfer coefficient (α), the electron transfer number (n), and the electrode reaction standard rate constant (k_s) were calculated as 0.74, 1.9 and 1.26 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, respectively. Under the optimal conditions the oxidation peak current showed a good linear relationship with the guanosine concentration in the range from 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L by cyclic voltammetry with the detection limit of 2.61 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L (3σ). The common coexisting substances showed no interferences to the guanosine oxidation. The CILE showed good ability to distinguish the electrochemical response of guanosine and guanine in the mixture solution. The urine samples were further detected by the proposed method with satisfactory results.     

Electrochemical Oxidation of Guanosine and Xanthosine at Physiological pH: Further Evidences of a Convergent Mechanism for the Oxidation of Purine Nucleosides

The electrochemical oxidation of guanosine and xanthosine, which only differ in the presence of an oxygen atom at C2 position instead of an amine group, is studied on pyrolytic graphite electrodes at different electrolysis time scales in solutions of physiological pH. The oxidation products adsorbed on the electrode surface were electrochemical characterized in terms of variation of the formal potential with pH and catalytic activity towards the oxidation of NADH. The results were compared with those previously described for the oxidation of guanosine and adenosine in alkaline solutions. A common oxidation product is described, the oxidized form of 9‐β‐D ‐ribofuranosyluric acid, which is proposed as the point of convergence in the oxidation routes of all three purine nucleosides.     

Electrochemical oxidation of guanosine and adenosine: Two convergent pathways

We herein explore a novel route for oxidative stress in DNA by using electrochemistry as mimicking tool. Essentially, the electrochemical oxidation of guanine and adenine nucleosides and oligo-homo-nucleotides at pyrolytic graphite electrodes in neutral and alkaline aqueous solutions was studied. Under these experimental conditions all these compounds give rise to an adsorbed product not previously described, which was electrochemically and kinetically characterized. The virtually identical kinetic and electrochemical features exhibited by the oxidized compounds generated from all precursors strongly suggest a common species arising from both adenine and guanine derivatives. Supported by DFT calculations, we propose two convergent pathways for the electrochemical oxidation of adenosine and guanosine. Those calculations indicate that the common oxidized base product forms stable H-bond base pairs with both thymine and cytosine.     

Electrochemical antioxidant detection technique based on guanine-bonded graphene and magnetic nanoparticles composite materials

An antioxidant (AO) amperometric technique based on guanine attached to graphene and Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) magnetic materials was developed. Guanine molecules acted as an antioxidant competitor were bonded with graphene nanosheets, onto which magnetic Fe(3)O(4) NPs were attached and the as-prepared magnetic composite can be attracted to the electrode surface by an external magnetic field. When applied with negative potentials, the dissolved oxygen was reduced to H(2)O(2) at the electrode surface, and then reacted with the EDTA-Fe(ii) complex via a Fenton-like reaction to produce OH radicals. After oxidation damage by OH radicals, the electrochemical oxidation of guanine gave a decreased current. In the presence of AOs, the reactive oxygen species (ROS, e.g. OH radicals and H(2)O(2)) were scavenged by AOs and fewer guanine probe molecules were oxidized, thus inducing a higher electrochemical oxidation current of guanine. So AOs competed with the guanine probe molecules toward oxidation by ROS. The current signals of the guanine probe molecules were proportional to the concentrations of AOs. A kinetic model was proposed to quantify the ROS scavenging capacities of the AOs. Using guanine as an oxidizable probe and OH radicals and H(2)O(2) as endogenous ROS, this kind of AO detection technique mimicks the antioxidant protection mechanism by small AO molecules in the human body.     

Electrocatalytic oxidation behavior of guanosine at graphene, chitosan and Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode and its determination

A graphene, chitosan and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (nano-Fe₃O₄) modified glassy carbon electrode (graphene-chitosan/nano-Fe₃O₄/GCE) was fabricated. The modified electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscope and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical oxidation behavior of guanosine was investigated in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The experimental results indicated that the modified electrode exhibited an electrocatalytic and adsorptive activities towards the oxidation of guanosine. The transfer electron number (n), transfer proton number (m) and electrochemically effective surface area (A) were calculated. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation peak current was proportional to guanosine concentration in the range of 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ to 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ with the correlation coefficient of 0.9939 and the detection limit of 7.5 × 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹ (S/N = 3). Moreover, the modified electrode showed good ability to discriminate the electrochemical oxidation response of guanosine, guanine and adenosine. The proposed method was further applied to determine guanosine in spiked urine samples and traditional Chinese medicines with satisfactory results.     

Antileishmanial Drug Miltefosine‐dsDNA Interaction in situ Evaluation with a DNA‐Electrochemical Biosensor

Leishmaniasis is one of the most important parasitic neglected disease. The electrochemical evaluation of the antileishmanial drug miltefosine‐dsDNA interaction was investigated in incubated solutions and using dsDNA‐electrochemical biosensors, following the changes in the oxidation peaks of guanosine and adenosine residues, and the occurrence of the free guanine residues, electrochemical signal. The electrochemical behaviour of miltefosine was also investigated, at a glassy carbon electrode, using cyclic, differential pulse and square wave voltammetry and no electrochemical redox processes were observed. The interaction mechanism of miltefosine‐dsDNA occurs in two ways: independent of the dsDNA sequence, and leading to the condensation/aggregation of DNA strands, producing a rigid miltefosine‐dsDNA complex structure, and a preferential interaction between the guanine hydrogen atoms in the C−G base pair and miltefosine, causing the release of guanine residues detected on the electrode surface. Miltefosine did not induce oxidative damage to DNA in the experimental conditions used.     

Electrochemical Nucleic Acid Biosensors for the Detection of Interaction Between Peroxynitrite and DNA

We studied the reactivity of peroxynitrite and different nucleic acid molecules using DNA electrochemical biosensors. SIN‐1 (3‐morpholinosydnonimine) has been used for the simultaneous generation of NO?and superoxide, i.e., as a peroxynitrite (ONOO^?) donor. Double strand DNA (dsDNA), single strand DNA (ssDNA) and 15 guanine bases oligonucleotide (Oligo(dG)₁₅) were immobilized on a carbon paste electrode to generate the biosensor and DPV was selected as the electroanalytical technique. Results showed that electrochemical biosensors were very sensitive for detecting interaction between ONOO^? and DNA. A down/up effect was observed, i.e., at low ONOO^? concentrations the guanine oxidation signal decreased while at high ONOO^? concentrations the guanine oxidation current increased. Oligo(dG)₁₅ exhibited greater interaction at low ONOO^? concentrations than the other DNA molecules. The reactivity between ONOO^? and DNA was also evaluated in solution phase, showing the same down/up effect. Finally, the capacity of DNA to hybridize was prevented after interaction with ONOO^?.     

Electrochemical DNA biosensor for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon detection

Four DNA electrochemical biosensors using four types of DNA (calf thymus ssDNA, calf thymus dsDNA, salmon testis ssDNA and salmon testis dsDNA) were constructed using graphite screen printed electrodes. These biosensors were exploited as analytical tool to detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons-DNA interactions using benzo(a)anthracene and phenantrene as model analytes, the guanine oxidation peak variation being the signal revealing the interaction between PAHs and immobilized DNA. The salmon testis ssDNA biosensor resulted as the most promising device and was further evaluated for benzo(a)anthracene, fluorene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, anthracene, and phenanthrene in 5–40 ng mL^?1 solutions, and for benzo(a)pyrene (5–50 ng mL^?1). A concentration dependent variation of the DNA guanine oxidation peak was observed for all compounds. The effect of benzo(a)pyrene ultraviolet (UV) activation on the benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)-DNA interaction was evaluated at concentration levels of 20 and 50 ng mL^?1, and a 3.5- and 2.7-fold increases of the guanine oxidation peak was measured respectively. The salmon testis ssDNA biosensor was examined with PAHs contaminated samples of Mytilus galloprovincialis. Upon UV irradiation of three sample extracts exceeding the BaP maximum level, a positive variation of the DNA guanine oxidation was obtained. An average 2.4-fold increase of the guanine oxidation peak was detected demonstrating that the sensor can be used to detect toxic degradation products of PAHs.     

Electrochemical behavior and detection of guanine using a sodium montmorillonite-modified carbon paste electrode

Herein, a sodium montmorillonite-modified carbon paste electrode is described for the electrochemical determination of guanine. Guanine yields a well-defined and very sensitive oxidation peak at the sodium montmorillonite-modified carbon paste electrode. Compared with the unmodified carbon paste electrode, the modified electrode facilitates the electron transfer of guanine, since it notably increases the oxidation peak current and lowers the oxidation overpotential of guanine. Based on this, a simple sensitive reliable electrochemical method is proposed for the detection of guanine after all the experimental parameters, such as solution pH value, sodium montmorillonite content in the carbon paste electrode, accumulation potential, and time, are optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation peak current of guanine varies linearly with its concentration in the range 5.0×10⁻⁸ to 2.0×10⁻⁵ M and the detection limit (signal-to-noise=3) is 2.0×10⁻⁸ M after 4-min accumulation. This method is successfully demonstrated with urine samples. Published in Russian in Elektrokhimiya, 2006, Vol. 42, No. 2, pp. 178–182. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Electrochemical non-enzymatic glucose sensors

The electrochemical determination of glucose concentration without using enzyme is one of the dreams that many researchers have been trying to make come true. As new materials have been reported and more knowledge on detailed mechanism of glucose oxidation has been unveiled, the non-enzymatic glucose sensor keeps coming closer to practical applications. Recent reports strongly imply that this progress will be accelerated in ‘nanoera’. This article reviews the history of unraveling the mechanism of direct electrochemical oxidation of glucose and making attempts to develop successful electrochemical glucose sensors. The electrochemical oxidation of glucose molecules involves complex processes of adsorption, electron transfer, and subsequent chemical rearrangement, which are combined with the surface reactions on the metal surfaces. The information about the direct oxidation of glucose on solid-state surfaces as well as new electrode materials will lead us to possible breakthroughs in designing the enzymeless glucose sensing devices that realize innovative and powerful detection. An example of those is to introduce nanoporous platinum as an electrode, on which glucose is oxidized electrochemically with remarkable sensitivity and selectivity. Better model of such glucose sensors is sought by summarizing and revisiting the previous reports on the electrochemistry of glucose itself and new electrode materials.
