Electrochemical Redox Behaviour of Temozolomide Using a Glassy Carbon Electrode

The electrochemical behaviour of temozolomide on a glassy carbon electrode has been investigated. The reduction of temozolomide is an irreversible process, pH dependent, and the mechanism involves the addition of one electron and one proton to C5 to form an anion radical, causing the irreversible breakdown of the tetrazinone ring. The oxidation mechanism of temozolomide is an irreversible, adsorption‐controlled process, pH dependent up to value close to the pK_a and occurs in two consecutive charge transfer reactions, with the formation of the hydroxylated product. The electroanalytical determination of TMZ led to a detection limit of 1.1 µM.     

Electrochemical Investigations of the Anticancer Drug Idarubicin Using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Modified Glassy Carbon and Pyrolytic Graphite Electrodes

The effect of surface modifications on the electrochemical behavior of the anticancer drug idarubicin was studied at multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon and edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes. The surface morphology of the modified electrodes was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The modified electrodes were constructed for the determination of idarubicin using adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry. The experimental parameters such as supporting electrolyte, pH, accumulation time and potential, amount of carbon nanotubes for the sensitive assay of idarubicin were studied as details. Under the optimized conditions, idarubicin gave a linear response in the range 9.36×10^?8–1.87×10^?6 M for modified glassy carbon and 9.36×10^?8–9.36×10^?7 M for modified edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes. The detection limits were found as 1.87×10^?8 M and 3.75×10^?8 M based on modified glassy carbon and edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes, respectively. Interfering species such as ascorbic acid, dopamine, and aspirin showed no interference with the selective determination of idarubicin. The analyzing method was fully validated and successfully applied for the determination of idarubicin in its pharmaceutical dosage form. The possible oxidation mechanism of idarubicin was also discussed. The results revealed that the modified electrodes showed an obvious electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of idarubicin by a remarkable enhancement in the current response compared with bare electrodes.

Comparison of Boron-Doped Diamond and Glassy Carbon Electrodes for Determination of Terbinafine in Pharmaceuticals Using Differential Pulse and Square Wave Voltammetry

This paper examines the electrochemical oxidation of terbinafine with the boron doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes. The studies were performed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and square-wave voltammetry (SWV). The supporting electrolytes, solution pH, the range of potentials, and the scan rates were optimized. Terbinafine was irreversibly oxidized in all electrolytes, yielding well-defined peaks in the positive potential range. The peak potential shifted towards less positive values as the solution pH increased. Voltammetric determination of terbinafine was performed under the optimized conditions. Using the boron doped diamond electrode, a linear relationship between current and concentration was obtained between 5.44 × 10^?7 and 5.18 and 10^?6 mol/L with SWV and between 7.75 · 10^?7 and 8.55 · 10^?6 mol/L by DPV. At the glassy carbon electrode, a linear relationship between 7.75 · 10^?7 and 8.55 · 10^?6 mol/L was obtained by SWV and between 7.75 · 10^?7 and 1.05 · 10^?5 mol/L by DPV. The sensitivity, precision, and selectivity of the procedures were evaluated. In order to check the practical application of the developed methods, the concentration of terbinafine was determined in pharmaceutical preparations.

Some Electrochemical Characteristics of Boron‐ and Phosphorus‐Doped Glassy Carbon Electrodes

Three glassy carbon (GC) samples: undoped and doped with boron or phosphorus, prepared at 1000 °C, were compared in respect to hydrodynamic current‐potential curves in acidic medium, cyclic voltammograms for Fe^3+/2+ and Fe(CN)₆^3?/4? and argentometric titrations of halides. Some experiments were also carried out using standard Tokai and Sigri GC and Ag electrode. It appeared that GC doped with boron and phosphorus exhibited significant increase in hydrogen evolution overpotential. As for the electrode kinetics (ΔE_p criterion), no significant difference was observed between doped and undoped electrodes. In the potentiometric titrations the phosphorus‐doped electrode was advantageous over the other GC and Ag electrodes as it enabled more precise end‐point detection.

Electrochemical Oxidation of Pentoxifylline and its Analysis in Pure and Pharmaceutical Formulations at a Glassy Carbon Electrode

Abstract

The oxidative behavior of pentoxifylline was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in phosphate buffer solutions using cyclic and differential-pulse voltammetry. The oxidation process was shown to be irreversible over the pH range (3.0–9.0) and was diffusion controlled. The possible mechanism of the oxidation of pentoxifylline was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. An analytical method was developed for the determination of pentoxifylline in phosphate buffer solution at pH 3.0 as a supporting electrolyte. The anodic peak current varied linearly with pentoxifylline concentration in the range 2.0 × 10^?8 M to 6.0 × 10^?7 M of pentoxifylline with a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.42 × 10^?10 M. The proposed method was applied to the determination of pentoxifylline in pure and pharmaceutical formulations.

Electroanalytical Study of Prussian Blue Modified Glassy Carbon Paste Electrodes

Two types of glassy carbon (GC) powder (i.e., Sigradur K and Sigradur G) have been mixed with mineral oil to obtain glassy carbon paste electrodes (GCPE's). The electrochemical behavior of such electrodes at different percentages of glassy carbon has been evaluated with respect to the electrochemistry of ferricyanide as revealed with cyclic voltammetry and the best paste composition was chosen. GC was then modified with Prussian Blue (PB), mixed at different percentages with unmodified GC and with a fixed amount of mineral oil in order to obtain PB modified glassy carbon paste electrodes (PB‐GCPE's). PB‐GCPE's with different percentages of GC modified with PB (PB‐GC) were compared and the dependence on the amount of PB on their performances was evaluated by studying the parameters of cyclic voltammetry (i.e., current peak, ΔE_p, anodic and cathodic current ratio, charge density) and the amperometric response to H₂O₂. Data interpretation based on the GC surface area is presented. GCPE's with a selected amount of PB‐GC were then tested as H₂O₂ probes and all the analytical parameters together with the dependence on pH were evaluated. Some preliminary experiments with these electrodes assembled as glucose, lysine and lactate biosensors are also reported.

Sensitive Voltammetric Response of p‐Nitroaniline on Single‐Wall Carbon Nanotube‐Ionic Liquid Gel Modified Glassy Carbon Electrodes

An ionic liquid (i.e., 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, BMIMPF₆)‐single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) gel modified glassy carbon electrode (BMIMPF₆‐SWNT/GCE) is fabricated. At it the voltammetric behavior and determination of p‐nitroaniline (PNA) is explored. PNA can exhibit a sensitive cathodic peak at ?0.70 V (vs. SCE) in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution on the electrode, resulting from the irreversible reduction of PNA. Under the optimized conditions, the peak current is linear to PNA concentration over the range of 1.0×10^?8–7.0×10^?6 M, and the detection limit is 8.0×10^?9 M. The electrode can be regenerated by successive potential scan in a blank solution for about 5 times and exhibits good reproducibility. Meanwhile, the feasibility to determine other nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) with the modified electrode is also tested. It is found that the NACs studied (i.e., p‐nitroaniline, p‐nitrophenol, o‐nitrophenol, m‐nitrophenol, p‐nitrobenzoic acid, and nitrobenzene) can all cause sensitive cathodic peaks under the conditions, but their peak potentials and peak currents are different to some extent. Their peak currents and concentrations show linear relationships in concentration ranges with about 3 orders of magnitude. The detection limits are 8.0×10^?9 M for p‐nitroaniline, 2.0×10^?9 M for p‐nitrophenol, 5.0×10^?9 M for o‐nitrophenol, 5.0×10^?9 M for m‐nitrophenol, 2.0×10^?8 M for p‐nitrobenzoic acid and 8.0×10^?9 M for nitrobenzene respectively. The BMIMPF₆‐SWNT/GCE is applied to the determination of NACs in lake water.
