Papaverine PVC membrane ion-selective electrodes based on its ion-exchangers with tetraphenylborate and tetrathiocyanate anions

The construction and general performance of novel potentiometric membrane ion selective electrodes for determination of papaverine hydrochloride has been described. They are based on the formation of the ion association complexes of papaverine (PA) with tetraphenylborate (TPB)(I) or tetrathiocyanate (TTC)(II) counter anions as electro-active material dispersed in a PVC matrix. The electrodes show fast, stable, near Nernstian response for 1 x 10(-2) to 6 x 10(-5) M and 1 x 10(-2) to 1 x 10(-5) M for PA-TPB and PA-TTC respectively at 25 degrees C over the pH range of 3-5.0 with a cationic slope of approximately 56.5 +/- 0.5 mV/decade for both sensors respectively. The lower detection limit is 4 x 10(-5) and 8 x 10(-6) M for PA- I and PA-II respectively with fast response time ranging from 20-45 sec. Selectivity coefficients for PA relative to a number of interfering substances were investigated. There is a negligible interference from the studied cations, anions, and pharmaceutical excipients. The determination of 4.0- 3000.0 microg/ml of PA in aqueous solutions shows an average recovery of 99.1% and a mean relative standard deviation of 1.4 at 100microg/ml. The direct determination of PA in some formulations (Vasorin injection) gave results that compare favorably with those obtained using the British Pharmacopoeia method. Potentiometric titration of PA with sodium tetraphenylborate and potassium thiocyanate as titrants utilizing the papaverine electrode as an end point indicator electrode has been carried out.

Construction and performance characteristics of new fentanyl-selective plastic membrane electrode.

The construction and performance characteristics of an ion-selective electrode for fentanyl-drug cation, based on an ion-pair complex with tetrakis[3,5-bis-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate anion in a PVC matrix were studied. A linear response for 1 x 10(-5) mol dm-3 to 1 x 10(-2) mol dm-3 drug with a slope of 57.9 +/- 0.5 mV/decade was established. The optimum pH range was 2 to 6. The lower detection limit was 6.29 x 10(-6) mol dm-3 fentanyl citrate (2.1165 micrograms cm-3 fentanyl). There were negligible interferences from a number of inorganic cations, structural analogues, and some common drug additives in injections. The electrode proposed has been successfully applied to determine fentanyl citrate in injections. The results correlated well with those obtained by the United States Pharmacopoeia standard procedure.     

Amperometric enzyme electrode for theophylline.

An amperometric biosensor for theophylline, based on the recently isolated enzyme theophylline oxidase, is described. The enzyme is entrapped, together with a ferricytochrome C cofactor, within a polymeric (Nafion) coating. The anodic detection (at +0.4 V versus Ag-AgCl) is facilitated by the addition of a redox-mediating hexacyanoferrate(III) ion. The influence of various experimental variables is described. The limit of detection is 2 x 10(-6) mol dm-3 theophylline, with linearity prevailing up to 3 x 10(-4) mol dm-3. The fast response and wash times permit rapid flow-injection measurements, with a frequency of 180 samples h-1 and a relative standard deviation of 3.0-4.0%. Prospects of using this electrode for clinical diagnostics are discussed.

Study of the electrochemical behavior of mitoxantrone and its determination at a Co-C modified ultramicroelectrode

In 0.005 mol dm-3 Tris-0.05 mol dm-3 NaCl buffer solution (pH 7.10), the electrochemical behavior of mitoxantrone was studied by linear-sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry at a Co-carbon fiber ion implantation modified ultramicroelectrode. A sensitive reduction peak was obtained. The peak potential was -0.798 V (vs. SCE), the peak current was proportional to the concentration of mitoxantrone over the range of 2.0 x 10(-7)-6.0 x 10(6) mol dm-3 and the detection limit was 4.2 x 10(-8) mol dm-3. This method was applied to the direct determination of mitoxantrone in urine. Recoveries were in the range 95.4-105.8%. The reduction process was quasi-reversible with absorptive characteristics at a Co-C ultramicroelectrode. According to Laviron's theory, the electrode reaction rate constant ks and the electron transfer alpha of mitoxantrone were 4.4 s-1 and 0.48, respectively. The composition and depth distribution of elements on the surface of the Co-C ultramicroelectrode were determined by Auger electron spectroscopy. The experiments showed that Co was implanted into the surface of the carbon fiber, and the Co-C ultramicroelectrode had good stability and reproducibility.     

Silver(I) ion-selective membrane based on Schiff base-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene

A PVC membrane electrode for silver(I) ion based on Schiff base-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is reported. The electrode works well over a wide range of concentration (1.0 x 10(-5)-1.0 x 10(-1) mol dm-3) with a Nernstian slope of 59.7 mV per decade. The electrode shows a fast response time of 20 s and operates in the pH range 1.0-5.6. The sensor can be used for more than 6 months without any divergence in the potential. The selectivity of the electrode was studied and it was found that the electrode exhibits good selectivity for silver ion over some alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal ions. The silver ion-selective electrode was used as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of silver ion in solution using a standard solution of sodium chloride; a sharp potential change occurs at the end-point. The applicability of the sensor to silver(I) ion measurement in water samples spiked with silver nitrate is illustrated.

Use of ion-selective electrodes in kinetic flow injection: determination of phenolic and hydrazino drugs with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene using a fluoride-selective electrode.

A flow injection (FI) kinetic potentiometric method for the determination of phenolic (acetaminophen and isoxsuprine) and hydrazino (isoniazid) drugs is described. This work shows the usefulness of ion-selective electrodes as detectors in FI systems, not only for direct ion determination but also in routine kinetic analysis. The method is based on the reaction of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB) with the analytes in a weakly alkaline medium, which proceeds through the liberation of fluoride from the reagent. The slow reactions with phenols are catalysed by micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The reaction rate is monitored with a fluoride-selective electrode in a wall-jet configuration and is used to construct a calibration graph of antilog(delta E/S)-1 versus c (where E = potential, s = slope of the electrode and c = concentration), using the fixed-time approach. The response time and the long-term stability of the electrode were found to be adequate for such kinetic determinations. The proposed method overcomes problems associated with end-point spectrophotometric methods using FDNB and allows measurements in highly coloured or turbid solutions. The optimized method has a linear concentration range of 1 x 10(-4)-50 x 10(-4) mol dm-3, a measurement throughput of 20 or 40 per hour and the precision ranges from 1.8 to 3.6% relative standard deviation (n = 3). Results obtained for commercial pharmaceutical formulations compare favourably with those given by reference methods.     

Uranyl-selective PVC membrane electrodes based on some recently synthesized benzo-substituted macrocyclic diamides

Four different recently synthesized macrocyclic diamides were studied to characterize their abilities as uranyl ion carriers in PVC membrane electrodes. The electrodes based on macrocycle 1,18-diaza-3,4;15,16-dibenzo-5,8,11,14,21,24-hexaoxacyclohexaeicosane-2,17-dione resulted in a Nernstian response for UO(2)(2+) ion over wide concentration ranges. The linear concentration range for the polymeric membrane electrode (PME) is 3.0x10(-6)-8.2x10(-3) M with a detection limit of 2.2x10(-6) and that for the coated graphite electrode (CGE) is 5.0x10(-7)-1.5x10(-3) M with a detection limit of 3.5x10(-7) M. The electrodes manifest advantages of low resistance, very fast response and, most importantly, good selectivities relative to a wide variety of other cations.     

Electrochemical determination of dopamine using a poly(2-picolinic acid) modified glassy carbon electrode

A poly(2-picolinic acid) chemically modified electrode (CME) for the determination of dopamine (DA) by cyclic voltammetry is described. Compared with a bare glassy carbon electrode, the CME exhibits a 200 mV shift of the oxidation potential of DA in the cathodic direction and a marked enhancement of the current response. In pH 7.0 buffer solution, a linear calibration graph is obtained over the range from 2.5 x 10(-7) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol dm-3 with a correlation coefficient of 0.998. The detection limit is 3.0 x 10(-8) mol dm-3. The modified electrode eliminated efficiently the interference from ascorbic acid (AA) when present in a 150-fold concentration ratio. It also showed excellent stability and reproducibility.

Used gold nano-particles as an on/off switch for response of a potentiometric sensor to Al(III) or Cu(II) metal ions

The potentiometric response of a carbon paste electrode modified with silica sol-gel and mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) in the presence and absence of gold nano-particles was studied. The results showed that the electrode with gold nano-particles was responded to Al(3+) ions as a hard metal ion. On the other hand, the electrode without gold nano-particles was responded to copper ions as a soft metal ion. The electrodes without and with gold nano-particles exhibits a Nernstian slope of 29.1 and 19.2 mV decade(-1) for copper and aluminum ions over a wide concentration range of 4.3×10(-7)-1.0×10(-2) and 4.5×10(-7)-1.6×10(-3) mol L(-1), respectively. The detection limits of electrodes were 4.0×10(-7) and 1.6×10(-7) mol L(-1) for copper and aluminum ions, respectively.     

Optimization of polymeric triiodide membrane electrode based on clozapine-triiodide ion-pair using experimental design

Central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were developed as experimental strategies for modeling and optimization of the influence of some variables on the performance of a new PVC membrane triiodide ion-selective electrode. This triiodide sensor is based on triiodide-clozapine ion-pair complexation. PVC, plasticizers, ion-pair amounts and pH were investigated as four variables to build a model to achieve the best Nernstian slope (59.9 mV) as response. The electrode is prepared by incorporating the ion-exchanger in PVC matrix plasticized with 2-nitrophenyl octal ether, which is directly coated on the surface of a graphite electrode. The influence of foreign ions on the electrode performance was also investigated. The optimized membranes demonstrate Nernstian response for triiodide ions over a wide linear range from 5.0 x 10(-6) to 1.0 x 10(-2)mol L(-1) with a limit of detection 2.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) at 25 degrees C. The electrodes could be used over a wide pH range 4-8, and have the advantages of easy to prepare, good selectivity and fast response time, long lifetime (over 3 months) and small interferences from hydrogen ion. The proposed electrode was successfully used as indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of triiodide ions and ascorbic acid.     

Ion-selective electrodes based on siderophores: Salicylate response of a ferrimycobactin membrane

Siderophores are compounds which transport iron across cell membranes; mycobactins are hydrophobic siderophores and were expected to be suitable for inclusion in the organic membrane phase of a liquid ion-exchange electrode responsive to iron(III) ions. In practice, no iron(III) response was obtained from mycobactin membranes (in a variety of solvents), but they did respond to salicylate ion with a sensitivity of 27–29 mV/decade over the range 2 × 10^?3–3 × 10^?2 mol l^?1 at pH 7. The effects of pH and interference by other anions are described and the possible mechanisms of the electrode are discussed. The selectivity of the electrode for salicylate is better than that of quaternary ammonium liquid ion-exchange electrodes.     

Array of potentiometric sensors for the analysis of creatinine in urine samples

The development of potentiometric biosensors for creatinine based on creatinine iminohydrolase (E.C. 3.5.4.21) immobilized on chitosan membranes coupled to a nonactin based ammonium ion selective electrode is described. The response characteristics of three types of biosensors with the enzyme immobilized by three different procedures were evaluated. The biosensors with better response characteristics were obtained by coupling the ammonium ion selective electrodes to chitosan membranes with the enzyme immobilized by adsorption. The linear response range of these biosensors to creatinine was 10(-4) to 10(-2) M, the response time was between 30 and 60 s, they showed an operational lifetime of 44 days and the slope of the response to creatinine in the first day varied between 50 and 52 mV decade-1. An array of six potentiometric sensors, constituted by two creatinine biosensors and four ion selective electrodes for potassium, sodium, ammonium and calcium was calibrated and a multivariate model based on PLS1 for the response to creatinine was obtained and validated. The array was used for the analysis of creatinine in urine samples and the results were compared with the results of a clinical analysis laboratory, based on the Jaffé reaction.     

New plastic membrane and carbon paste ion selective electrodes for the determination of triprolidine.

Triprolidine (Trip) ion selective electrodes of three types: the conventional polymer membrane (I), graphite coated electrode (II) and carbon paste electrode (III), have been prepared, based on the ion pair of triprolidine hydrochloride with sodium tetraphenylborate. The electrodes exhibit a linear response with a mean calibration graph slope of 56.12, 55.00 and 54.32 mV decade(-1) at 25 degrees C for I, II and III, respectively, within the concentration ranges 1.96 x 10(-5) - 1.00 x 10(-2) M for I and 3.84 x 10(-5) - 1.00 x 10(-2) M for II and III. The detection limits are 1.13+/-0.13 x 10(-5), 1.70+/-0.06 x 10(-5) and 1.78+/-0.05 x 10(-5) M for the three electrodes, respectively. The change of pH within the ranges 4.85 - 8.75 and 4.70 - 8.50 for I and III, respectively, did not affect the electrode performance. The standard electrode potentials were determined at different temperatures and were used to calculate the isothermal coefficient of the electrode. The electrodes showed a very good selectivity for Trip with respect to a large number of inorganic cations and compounds. The standard addition method was applied to the determination of TripCl in pure solution, pharmaceutical preparations, and urine samples.
