Electrochemical reduction of cefminox at the mercury electrode and its voltammetric determination in urine

The electrochemical behaviour of cefminox in phosphate buffers solutions over pH range 2.0-9.0 using differential-pulse polarography, DC-tast polarography, cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry (staircase) has been studied. In acidic media, a non reversible diffusion-controlled reduction involving two electrons occurs and the mechanism for the reduction was suggested. A differential-pulse polarographic method for the determination of cefminox in the concentration range 5.8×10⁻⁶-6.0×10⁻⁵ M with a detection limit of 1.76×10⁻⁶ M was proposed. Also, a method based on controlled adsorptive pre-concentration of cefminox on the hanging mercury drop electrode followed by linear sweep voltammetry, allows its determination in the concentration range 8.3×10⁻⁸-1.5×10⁻⁶ M with a detection limit of 2.47×10⁻⁸ M. These methods have been used for the direct determination of cefminox in human urine with recoveries between 98 and 103%, and precision around ±2%.

Voltammetric determination of azithromycin at the carbon paste electrode

Azithromycin (AZ) is the first member of a class of macrolide azalides antibiotics called azolides. A simple and selective square-wave voltammetric (SWV) method has been developed for the determination of azithromycin in pure form, in pharmaceutical preparation and in biological samples. Determination of azithromycin was accomplished with hand-make carbon paste electrode (CPE) in oxidative screen mode. The counter and reference electrodes were a Pt wire and a Ag/AgCl, respectively. Various parameters that can influence the peak signal (effect of buffer, ionic strength, accumulation time, pH and the composition of the paste) have been scrutinized. The best results were obtained in acetonitrile—aqueous 1 M sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer (pH 4.6) containing 0.1 M KCl (1:9; v/v) using a 15% paraffin oil CPE. The limits of detection and quantification of the pure drug are 0.463 and 1.544 ppb (with the correlation coefficient, r=0.9785and the standard deviation, S.D.=0.1 (n=5), for the accumulation time of 60 s), respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of the drug in urine and two forms of pharmaceutical formulations. Recoveries were 99.2—100.5% with S.D.=0.1—and 0.8% (n=5).     

Anodic voltammetric behavior of resveratrol and its electroanalytical determination in pharmaceutical dosage form and urine

The anodic voltammetric behavior of resveratrol was studied using cyclic and square wave voltammetric techniques. The oxidation of resveratrol is irreversible and exhibits an adsorption controlled process which is of pH dependence. The oxidation mechanism was proposed in this work. The dependence of the current on pH, the concentration and nature of buffer, and scan rate was investigated to optimize the experimental conditions for the determination of resveratrol. It was found that the optimum buffer for the determination of resveratrol is 1.0 × 10⁻³ M KCl + 0.1 M HNO₃ solution with the pH of 1.0. In the range of 5.00 × 10⁻⁹ to 1.65 × 10⁻⁷ M, the current measured by square wave voltammetry presents a good linear property as a function of the concentration of resveratrol. In addition, the reproducibility, precision and accuracy of the method were checked as well. The method was applied for the determination of resveratrol in Chinese patent medicine and diluted urine.

Anodic stripping voltammetric determination of mercury using multi-walled carbon nanotubes film coated glassy carbon electrode

An electrochemical method for the determination of trace levels of mercury based on a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) film coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) is described. In 0.1 mol L^–1 HCl solution containing 0.02 mol L^–1 KI, Hg²⁺ was firstly preconcentrated at the MWNT film and then reduced at –0.60 V. During the anodic potential sweep, reduced mercury was oxidized, and then a sensitive and well-defined stripping peak at about –0.20 V appeared. Under identical conditions, a MWNT film coated GCE greatly enhances the stripping peak current of mercury in contrast to a bare GCE. Low concentrations of I^– remarkably improve the determining sensitivity, since this increases the accumulation efficiency of Hg²⁺ at the MWNT film coated GCE. The stripping peak current is proportional to the concentration of Hg²⁺ over the range 8×10^–10–5×10^–7 mol L^–1. The lowest detectable concentration of Hg²⁺ is 2×10^–10 mol L^–1 at 5 min accumulation. The relative standard deviation (RSD) at 1×10^–8 mol L^–1 Hg²⁺ was about 6% (n=10). By using this proposed method, Hg²⁺ in some water samples was determined, and the results were compared with those obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The two results are similar, suggesting that the MWNT-film coated GCE has great potential in practical analysis.     

Square-wave voltammetric determination of cefoperazone in a bacterial culture,pharmaceutical drug,milk, and urine

Use of square-wave voltammetry (SWV) for determination of cefoperazone (CFPZ) in some buffers, bacterial culture, urine, and milk is described. CFPZ provides a specific voltammetric signal which is affected by pH and solution components. Determination of CFPZ in Britton–Robinson buffer, pH 4.4, is sensitive with a low detection limit (about 0.5 nmol L^–1). In a more complex medium (bacterial 2YT medium, pH 7.2) the detection limit was approximately 1.5 mol L^–1. We provide evidence that SWV is a suitable and quick method for CFPZ determination in a culture of living bacteria without separation of biomass. We have found big differences between methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) in cultivation in the presence of CFPZ, depending on time. When CFPZ is cleaved by penicillinase, a new SWV peak b appears at more positive potentials. This peak rises both with increasing concentration of enzyme and with cleavage time while the original CFPZ peak is simultaneously decreasing. We determined the concentration of CFPZ in the drug Pathozone by the standard addition method and achieved good agreement with the declared value of CFPZ in the drug. With a simple pretreatment procedure it is possible to determine CFPZ in milk; for urine no pretreatment was required. Using SWV we could detect CFPZ concentrations as low as 500 nmol L^–1 in bovine milk and human urine.     

Graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode for determination of linagliptin in dosage form,biological fluids,and rats' feces using square wave voltammetry

An applicable square wave anodic adsorptive stripping voltammetric (SWAdASV) technique was utilized for linagliptin determination. A glassy carbon electrode was modified with graphene oxide to increase the electrode reactivity. The method is cheap, accurate, precise, and selective, with a good linearity range and a low detection limit. The proposed method was the first one to determine linagliptin in the feces, which is the main route for excreting the drug from the body. The electrode was characterized using various techniques, including Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and the oxidation mechanism of the drug was examined. The proposed method has a linear range of 9.45–103.96 ng mL^?1. The detection limit was 4.0 ng mL^?1. The modified electrode was employed efficiently to determine the drug in tablet formulations, spiked human urine, plasma, and rats' feces with high recoveries. The proposed method's results were statistically compared with those of another previously published method.

Sensitive voltammetric determination of baicalein at DNA Langmuir-Blodgett film modified glassy carbon electrode

The present paper describes to modify a double stranded DNA-octadecylamine (ODA) Langmuir-Blodgett film on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface to develop a voltammetric sensor for the detection of trace amounts of baicalein. The electrode was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Electrochemical behaviour of baicalein at the modified electrode had been investigated in pH 2.87 Britton-Robinson buffer solutions by CV and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Compared with bare GCE, the electrode presented an electrocatalytic redox for baicalein. Under the optimum conditions, the modified electrode showed a linear voltammetric response for the baicalein within a concentration range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁸-2.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, and a value of 6.0 × 10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹ was calculated for the detection limit. And the modified electrode exhibited an excellent immunity from epinephrine, dopamine, glucose and ascorbic acid interference. The method was also applied successfully to detect baicalein in the medicinal tablets and spiked human blood serum samples with satisfactory results.     

Electrochemistry and voltammetric determination of tannic acid on a single-wall carbon nanotube-coated glassy carbon electrode

The voltammetric behavior of tannic acid (TA) on a single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) modified glassy carbon electrode has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. TA can generate a well-defined anodic peak on the modified electrode at around 0.42 V (vs. SCE) in 0.10 M phosphate buffer solutions (pH = 4.0). The electrochemical reaction involves 1e transfer, accompanied by one proton. The electrode process is controlled by adsorption. The parameters affecting the response of TA, such as solution pH, accumulation time and accumulation potential are optimized for the determination of TA. Under the optimum conditions, the peak current changes linearly with the TA concentration in the range of 5.0 × 10⁻⁸–1.0 × 10⁻⁶ M. The lowest detectable concentration of TA is 8.0 × 10⁻⁹ M after 180 s accumulation. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of TA in tea and beer samples. In addition, the influence of potential interferents is examined. In the presence of bovine serum albumin, the peak current of TA decreases linearly due to the formation of a super-molecular complex.

A glassy carbon electrode (GC) containing multiwalled functionalized carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) immobilized within a dihexadecylhydrogenphosphate film (DHP) is proposed as a nanostructured platform for determination of methotrexate (MTX) concentration (a drug used in cancer treatment) using differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry (DPAdSV). The voltammograms for a MTX solution using MWCNTs-DHP/GC electrode presented an oxidation peak potential at 0.98 V vs. Ag/AgCl (3.0 mol L^?1 KCl) in a 0.1 mol L^?1 sulphuric acid. The apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of 0.46 s^?1 was calculated. The recovery area of 2.62×10^?9 mol cm² was also obtained.

Electrochemical behaviour of triclosan at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its voltammetric determination in toothpaste and mouthrinse products

Cyclic voltammetry was used to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of triclosan (2,2,4′-trichloro-2′-hydroxydiphenyl ether) at a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). It was found that a single anodic peak occurred over the pH range 6.0–12.0; this peak was considered to result from an irreversible oxidation reaction at the phenolic moiety. A plot of E_p versus pH was constructed and from the break point a pK_a value of 7.9 was obtained, thus agreeing with the literature value. Detailed voltammetric studies were performed at pH 10, where the analyte exists as an anion. It was demonstrated that, at an initial potential of 0 V, the anion underwent electrosorption prior to electrochemical oxidation. The oxidation reaction appeared to involve a one-electron transfer, as deduced from a calculated n_a value of 0.5; the same value was obtained at pH 7.0. In contrast to triclosan, triclosan monophosphate was found to be electrochemically inactive when subjected to voltammetry under the stated conditions.

The electrochemical oxidation of triclosan at a SPCE was exploited for its determination (0.3%) in commercial toothpaste and mouthrinse products using differential pulse voltammetry. The recovery and precision data indicated that this approach may have application in routine quality control analysis.     

Anodic voltammetric behavior and determination of cefixime in pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological fluids

The voltammetric behavior of cefixime was studied using cyclic, linear sweep, differential pulse and square wave voltammetric techniques. The oxidation of cefixime was irreversible and exhibited diffusion controlled process depending on pH. The oxidation mechanism was proposed and discussed. Different parameters were tested to optimize the conditions for the determination of cefixime. The dependence of current intensities and potentials on pH, concentration, scan rate, nature of the buffer was investigated. According to the linear relationship between the peak current and the concentration, differential pulse (DPV) and square wave (SWV) voltammetric methods for cefixime assay in pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological fluids were developed. For the determination of cefixime were proposed in acetate buffer at pH 4.5, which allows quantitation over the 6 × 10⁻⁶-2 × 10⁻⁴ M range in supporting electrolyte and spiked serum sample; 8 × 10⁻⁶-2 × 10⁻⁴ M range in urine sample; 6 × 10⁻⁶-1 × 10⁻⁴ M range in breast milk samples for both techniques. The repeatability, reproducibility, precision and accuracy of the methods in all media were investigated. No electroactive interferences from the excipients and endogenous substances were found in the pharmaceutical dosage forms and in the biological samples, respectively.

The peak current at each peak potential is clearly developed and is proportional to the silicon concentration; the linear range for the most useful peak at +0.05 V is 10^-5–10^-7 M silicon, the lower limit being fixed by the blank conditions. Nickel-base alloy samples and water samples were analyzed with satisfactory results.     

Anodic square-wave stripping voltammetric analysis of epinephrine using carbon fiber microelectrode

The behavior of epinephrine on a carbon fiber microelectrode (CFME) was studied with cyclic voltammetry and square-wave (SW) stripping voltammetry in order to find optimum conditions for its analysis using the CFME. An anodic stripping peak at about 0.20 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) was utilized. Under optimum conditions for anodic stripping (a pH value of 7.4, a deposition potential of − 0.5 V, a deposition time of 90 s, a final potential of 0.8 V, a SW frequency of 20 Hz, a step potential of 5 mV, and an amplitude of 45 mV), the calibration was linear in the concentration range of 0.0∼0.4 mg/L, and the detection limit was found to be 0.009 mg/L with a relative standard deviation 0.18% (n = 12) at 0.2 mg/L. The analytical performance of the CMFE, which is unmodified, is comparable to or better than other voltammetric results with various modified electrodes.
