Zeolite-Modified Carbon-Paste Electrode as a Selective Voltammetric Sensor for Detection of Tryptophan in Pharmaceutical Preparations

Abstract

Several synthetic zeolites such as mazzite, mordenite, zeolite L, zeolite beta, and MCM-41 were tested as electrode modifiers in voltammetric determination of tryptophan. It was found that addition of zeolite beta to the carbon paste would generate the peak current of Trp because of its catalytic effect. The anodic peak currents were proportional to Trp concentrations in the range of 5.0 × 10^?7 to 5.0 × 10^?3 M. The detection limit was 1.0 × 10^?7 M. The influence of several species, especially other amino acids, were tested. The proposed method was applied successfully to the determination of tryptophan in pharmaceutical formulations.     

Electrocatalytic Determination of Ampicillin Using Carbon-Paste Electrode Modified with Ferrocendicarboxylic Acid

Abstract

A carbon-paste electrode spiked with ferrocenedicarboxylic acid (FDCMCPE) was constructed by incorporation of ferrocenedicarboxylic acid in a graphite powder–paraffin oil matrix. It has been shown by direct current cyclic voltammetry and double-step chronoamperometry that this electrode can catalyze the oxidation of ampicillin (AMPC) in aqueous buffered solution. It has been found that under the optimum condition (pH 10.0) in cyclic voltammetry, the oxidation of AMPC occurred at a potential of about 480 mV on the surface of the modified carbon-paste electrode. The kinetic parameters such as electron-transfer coefficient, α, and rate constant for the chemical reaction between AMPC and redox sites in FDCMCPE were also determined using electrochemical approaches. Under the optimized conditions, the electrocatalytic oxidation peak current of AMPC showed two linear dynamic ranges with a detection limit of 0.67 µmol L^?1 AMPC. The linear calibration was in the range of 2.34–30 µmol L^?1 and 40–700 µmol L^?1 AMPC using the differential pulse voltammetric method. Finally, this method was also examined as a selective, simple, and precise electrochemical sensor for the determination of AMPC in real samples such as drugs and urine.

Chiral Recognition of Penicillamine Enantiomers Based on DNA‐MWNT Complex Modified Electrode

Double‐stranded DNA and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) complex modified glassy carbon electrodes (DNA‐MWNT‐GCE) were employed to discriminate penicillamine (PA) enantiomers. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy were used to characterize the enantioselective phenomenon. The results indicated that the binding effect between L ‐PA and DNA‐MWNTs was stronger than that of D ‐PA and DNA‐MWNTs. In addition, the influencing factors of the modified electrodes were systematically investigated. The modified electrodes exhibited a linear response towards PA enantiomers from 1.0×10^?1 to 1.0×10^?8 mol L^?1 and detection limits of 3.1×10^?9 and 3.3×10^?8 mol L^?1 for L ‐PA and D ‐PA, respectively.     

Chiral Recognition of Tryptophan Enantiomers Based on β‐Cyclodextrin‐platinum Nanoparticles/Graphene Nanohybrids Modified Electrode

The nanohybrids which based on β‐cyclodextrin, platinum nanoparticles and graphene (β‐CD‐PtNPs/GNs) were successfully synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Then they were used to construct a simple and reliable chiral sensing platform to interact with tryptophan (Trp) enantiomers. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to investigate the stereo selectivity of β‐CD‐PtNPs/GNs to Trp enantiomers. After interaction, the obvious difference of peak currents of L‐Trp and D‐Trp was obtained, indicating this strategy could be employed to chiral recognition of Trp enantiomers. Under the optimum conditions, the chiral sensor exhibited a good linear response to Trp enantiomers in a linear range of 5.0×10^?5 to 5.0×10^?3 M with a low limit of detection of 1.7×10^?5 M (S/N=3). This approach provided a new available platform to recognize and determine Trp enantiomers.

Acetylferrocene Modified Carbon Paste Electrode; A Sensor for Electrocatalytic Determination of Hydrazine

The electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrazine at a carbon paste electrode spiked with acetylferrocene as a mediator was studied by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and chronoamperometry. In contrast to other ferrocenic compounds, acetylferrocene exhibits a chemical irreversible behavior, but it can act as an effective mediator for electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrazine, too. The heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant between acetylferrocene and the electrode substrate (carbon paste) and the diffusion coefficient of spiked acetylferrocene in silicon oil were estimated to be about 3.45×10^?4 cm s^?1 and 4.45×10^?9 cm² s^?1, respectively. It has been found that under the optimum conditions (pH 7.5) the oxidation of hydrazine occurs at a potential of about 228 mV less positive than that of an unmodified carbon paste electrode. The catalytic oxidation peak current of hydrazine was linearly dependent on its concentration and the obtained linear range was 3.09×10^?5 M–1.03×10^?3 M. The detection limit (2σ) has been determined as 2.7×10^?5 M by cyclic voltammetry. Also, the peak current was increased linearly with the concentration of hydrazine in the range of 1×10^?5 M–1×10^?3 M by differential pulse voltammetry with a detection limit of 1×10^?5 M. This catalytic oxidation of hydrazine has been applied as a selective, simple, and precise new method for the determination of hydrazine in water samples.
