Electrocatalytic characteristics of a 1-[4-(ferrocenyl ethynyl)phenyl]-1-ethanone modified carbon-paste electrode in the oxidation of ascorbic acid.

A carbon-paste electrode spiked with 1-[4-(ferrocenyl ethynyl)phenyl]-1-ethanone was constructed by the incorporation of 1-[4-(ferrocenyl ethynyl)phenyl]-1-ethanone in a graphite powder silicon oil matrix. It shown by cyclic voltammetry and double potential-step chronoamperometry, which this ferrocene derivative modified a carbon-paste electrode, can catalyze the ascorbic acid oxidation in an aqueous buffered solution. It has been found that under the optimum conditions (pH 7.00), the oxidation of ascorbic acid at the surface of this carbon paste modified electrode occurs at a potential of about 260 mV less positive than that of an unmodified carbon-paste electrode. The catalytic oxidation peak current was linearly dependent on the ascorbic acid concentration, and a linear calibration curve was obtained in the range of 6 x 10(-5) M-7 x 10(-3) M of ascorbic acid with a correlation coefficient of 0.9997. The detection limit (2sigma) was determined to be 6.3 x 10(-5) M. This method was also used for the determination of ascorbic acid in some pharmaceutical samples, such as effervescent tablets, ampoules and multivitamin syrup, by using a standard addition method. The reliability of the method was established by a parallel determination against the official method.

Electrocatalytic oxidation and flow-injection determination of ascorbic acid at a graphite electrode modified with a polyaniline film containing electrodeposited palladium

A method for forming a composite film on the surface of a graphite electrode is proposed. Conditions for detecting the maximum catalytic current under batch and flow conditions are determined. A procedure for the electrocatalytic determination of ascorbic acid at the graphite electrode modified with a polyaniline film containing palladium particles is proposed. The catalytic effect of this electrode manifests itself by a ～300-mV decrease in the peak potential of ascorbic acid oxidation and by a multiple increase in the peak current of ascorbic acid oxidation as compared to the unmodified electrode. The linear dependence of the electrocatalytic response of the composite electrode on the concentration of ascorbic acid is observed down to 1 × 10^?8 M and 2.5 nmol of ascorbic acid under batch and flow-injection analysis conditions, respectively.     

Interpretations of Voltammetry in the Striatum Based on Chromatography of Striatal Dialysate

Abstract

A comparison is made of chronoamperometric data recorded from the striatum and chromatographic data obtained from extracellular striatal perfusate. Three specific cases are considered: the initial sampling period in which a decline in the observed oxidation current occurs; the effect of haloperidol, a dopamine receptor blocker; and the effect of amphetamine. The perfusate is analyzed for ascorbic acid (AA), the dopamine metabolites dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA), and the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). Using the relative response of these compounds at a carbon epoxy or carbon paste electrode, and the relative concentration of each in the extracellular fluid, the expected changes in oxidation currents for the three cases mentioned above are calculated. It is shown that the decline in oxidation current during the initial sampling period is due primarily to a decrease in ascorbic acid. It is also shown that different electroactive components of the extracellular fluid are the cause of changing oxidation currents under different stimulus conditions.

Quantitative fractionation of serum bilirubin species by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

A rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for separating and quantifying four bilirubin species present in serum: bilirubin, bilirubin monoglucuronide, bilirubin diglucuronide, and bilialbumin. Sample preparation consists of dilution with ascorbic acid and dimethylsulfoxide and filtration to remove solid materials. The diluted serum was injected directly onto a wide-pore (300 A) reversed-phase column and the bilirubin species eluted with a water-isopropanol gradient. Excellent agreement was found between the total bilirubin concentration measured by the high-performance liquid chromatographic method and a diazotized sulfanilic acid procedure.     

Amperometric Determination of Ascorbic Acid at an Electrodeposited Redox Polymer Film Modified Gold Electrode

A sensitive and selective electrochemical method for the determination of ascorbic acid was developed. It was shown that a hydrated osmium complex‐containing redox polymer film can be electrodeposited at the gold electrode and it exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of ascorbic acid. In contrast to a bare gold electrode, the oxidation current of ascorbic acid increased greatly and the oxidation peak potential shifted negatively to about 0.01 V (vs. SCE) at the modified electrode. Amperometric measurements were performed at an applied potential of 0.01 V and a linear response was obtained in the range of 2–400 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.6 μM (S/N=3). The interference studies showed that the modified electrode exhibits excellent selectivity in the presence of large excess of uric acid and dopamine. The proposed procedure was successfully applied to the determination of ascorbic acid in human urine samples.     

Hydrogen peroxide-induced deacetylation of acetyl resorufin as a novel indicator reaction for fluorometric detection of glucose using only glucose oxidase

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced deacetylation of non-fluorescent acetyl resorufin (1) to fluorescent resorufin (2) as a novel indicator reaction for fluorometric detection of glucose using only glucose oxidase (GOD) is described. When a 1:1:1 mixture of 1 (in CH3CN), glucose, and GOD (each in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer) was incubated at 25 degrees C under aerobic conditions, the resulting solution turned yellow to fluorescent pink due to 2. The formation of 2 was markedly retarded on incubation under anaerobic conditions. When a mixture of 1 and H2O2 was incubated under aerobic conditions, the formation of 2 was noted as in the case of the enzymatic reaction of 1. These results demonstrated that the observed color change is brought about through deacetylation of 1 to 2 induced by H2O2 generated in GOD-catalyzed oxidation of glucose. With regard to the fluorometric traces of the enzymatic reaction with 1 (0.2 mM), GOD (0.5 mg/ml), and glucose at 25 degrees C, fluorescence intensity exhibited a linear relationship against glucose concentration between 0.2 and 2.0 mm, with a correlation coefficient of 0.997. Neither ascorbic acid, uric acid, nor bilirubin significantly interfered with the transformation of 1 to 2 through GOD-catalyzed oxidation of glucose.     

Kinetics of oxidation of bilirubin and its protein complex by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions

A comparative study of oxidation reactions of bilirubin and its complex with albumin was carried out in aqueous solutions under the action of hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen at different pH values. Free radical oxidation of the pigment in both free and bound forms at pH 7.4 was shown not to lead to the formation of biliverdin, but to be associated with the decomposition of the tetrapyrrole chromophore into monopyrrolic products. The effective and true rate constants of the reactions under study were determined. It was assumed that one possible mechanism of the oxidation reaction is associated with the interaction of peroxyl radicals and protons of the NH groups of bilirubin molecules at the limiting stage with the formation of a highly reactive radical intermediate. The binding of bilirubin with albumin was found to result in a considerable reduction in the rate of the oxidation reaction associated with the kinetic manifestation of the protein protection effect. It was found that the autoxidation of bilirubin by molecular oxygen with the formation of biliverdin at the intermediate stage can be observed with an increase in the pH of solutions.     

Anionic polymer hydrogel degradation by ascorbic acid

Polymer hydrogel based on sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropansulfonate, covalently crosslinked with N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide has been shown to degrade in aqueous ascorbic acid. The hydrogel degradation is induced by chemical interaction of the polymer crosslink and an ascorbic acid oxidation intermediate.     

Carbon nanotube-modified electrodes for the simultaneous determination of dopamine and ascorbic acid

The voltammetric separation of dopamine and ascorbic acid was studied with cyclic voltammetry at two kinds of carbon nanotube-modified electrodes (coated and intercalated). The anodic peak difference reached 270 mV under the present conditions. The separation mechanism and effect factors were carefully studied. Using various types of surfactants as coating dispersants of carbon nanotubes, it was demonstrated that the charge nature of the surfactants had a strong effect on the electrochemical behavior of dopamine and ascorbic acid. When the oxidation solution of carbon nanotubes was changed from the most commonly used mixed concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid (1 + 3 v/v) to dilute nitric acid and to hydrochloric acid, the anodic peak separation value of dopamine and ascorbic acid increased significantly, and it was shown that carboxylic acid groups attached to the carbon nanotubes were an adverse factor for the discrimination of DA from AA. These results indicated that the resolution of DA and AA was mainly attributable to the stereo porous interfacial layer formed from aggregated pores and inner cavities of the carbon nanotubes. The modified electrodes exhibited an attractive ability to measure DA and AA simultaneously and showed good stability and reproducibility.     

Catalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid by some ferrocene derivative mediators at the glassy carbon electrode. Application to the voltammetric resolution of ascorbic acid and dopamine in the same sample

Direct-current cyclic voltammetry is used to investigate the suitability of some ferrocene derivatives such as ferrocenecarboxylic acid, ferroceneacetic acid and ferrocenemethanol as mediators for ascorbic acid oxidation in aqueous solutions with low pH. The ascorbic acid coupled catalytically to three ferrocene derivatives exhibiting homogeneous second-order rate constants k(s), in the range 7.36 x 10(5) - 1.23 x 10(7). The catalytic oxidation peak current was linearly dependent on the ascorbic acid concentration and the linearity range obtained in the presence of ferrocenecarboxilic acid, having the largest second-order rate constant, was 5 x 10(-5) - 1.5 x 10(-3) M. The catalytic effect of the ferrocene derivatives on the electrochemical oxidation of ascorbic acid reduced the oxidation potential of ascorbic acid, resulting in the separation of the overlapping voltammograms of ascorbic acid and dopamine at the glassy carbon electrode in a mixture. This allowed the determination of ascorbic acid in the presence of dopamine. The calibration graph obtained by linear sweep voltammetry for ascorbic acid in the presence of dopamine of fixed concentration is linear in the range 5 x 10(-5) - 1.5 x 10(-3) M. In a similar manner, dopamine is determined in the presence of a high concentration of ascorbic acid, up to 100 times that of dopamine, using ferroceneacetic acid as the most suitable mediator for this purpose.

Fractionation and redox speciation of antimony in agricultural soils by hydride generation--atomic fluorescence spectrometry and stability of Sb(III) and Sb(V) during extraction with different extractant solutions

This stability of Sb(III) and Sb(V) species was studied during single extraction from soils by water. EDTA, diluted H2SO4 and H3PO4, and oxalic acid/oxalate solutions, with and without ascorbic acid, were used as stabilizing reagent of both Sb species. Antimony redox speciation in soil extracts was performed by selective hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Simulated extraction procedures (without soil) showed that, except in oxalate medium, Sb(III) was oxidized to Sb(V), and this reaction was avoided with ascorbic acid. Recovery studies from a spiked agricultural soil showed that no oxidation but sorption of Sb(III) occurred during the extraction process in water and H2SO4 medium, and quantitative oxidation in EDTA and oxalate medium. With ascorbic acid, this oxidation was totally avoided in EDTA and partially avoided in oxalate solution. A new sequential extraction procedure was proposed and applied to the fractionation and redox speciation of antimony in agricultural soils, using EDTA + ascorbic acid, pH 7 (available under complexing and moderately reducible conditions); oxalic acid/oxalate + ascorbic acid (extractable in reducible conditions) and HNO3 + HCl + HF (residual fraction). The proposed extraction scheme can provide information about the availability and mobility of antimony redox species in agricultural soils.     

Synthesis and evaluation of the influence of 5-sulfanyl-1,2,3-triazol-1-ylaminocarboxylic acid derivatives on kinetics of ascorbic acid oxidation

1,2,3-Thiadiazolylureas containing amino acid residues were synthesized. These compounds were converted to 5-sulfanyl-1,2,3-triazol-1-ylaminocarboxylic acid sodium salts under alkaline conditions. These salts were found to inhibit the oxidation of ascorbic acid with air oxygen. In the presence of the equimolar amount of 5-sulfanyl-1,2,3-triazoles, the rate of diminution of ascorbic acid decreased by 1.5—3 times, whereas in the case of their two-fold excess by a factor of 5.     

Chemistry of ascorbic acid and sulfur dioxide as an antioxidant system relevant to white wine

The impact of the combined ascorbic acid and sulfur dioxide antioxidants on white wine oxidation processes was investigated using a range of analytical techniques, including flow injection analysis for free and total sulfur dioxide and two chromatographic methods for ascorbic acid, its oxidative degradation products and phenolic compounds. The combination of different analytical techniques provided a fast and simultaneous means for the monitoring of oxidation processes in a model wine system. In addition, the initial mole ratio of sulfur dioxide to ascorbic acid was varied and the model wine complexity was increased by the inclusion of metal ions (copper(II) and iron(II)). Sulfur dioxide was found not to be a significant binder of ascorbic acid oxidative degradation products and could not prevent the formation of certain phenolic pigment precursors. The results provide a detailed insight into the ascorbic acid/sulfur dioxide antioxidant system in wine conditions.
