Amperometric determination of glutathione and cysteine on a Pd-IrO(2) modified electrode with high performance liquid chromatography in rat brain microdialysate

A Pd/IrO(2) co-electrodeposited glassy carbon electrode was prepared and the electrochemical behavior of glutathione (GSH) at this chemically modified electrode (CME) has been studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results indicated that the modified electrode efficiently exhibited electrocatalytic oxidation for GSH with relatively high sensitivity, stability, and long-life. Coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the Pd/IrO(2) modified electrode was utilized for the electrochemical detection (ECD) of the thiocompounds, glutathione and cysteine (Cys). The peak currents were linear with the substance concentrations in the range of 1.0 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) to 8.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) for GSH and 4.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) to 2.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) for Cys. The detection limits were 2.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) for GSH and 5.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) for Cys with S/N of 3. The method has been successfully applied to assess the contents of GSH and Cys in rat brain microdialysates.

Simultaneous square-wave voltammetric determination of aspartame and cyclamate using a boron-doped diamond electrode

A simple and highly selective electrochemical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of aspartame and cyclamate in dietary products at a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode. In square-wave voltammetric (SWV) measurements, the BDD electrode was able to separate the oxidation peak potentials of aspartame and cyclamate present in binary mixtures by about 400 mV. The detection limit for aspartame in the presence of 3.0x10(-4) mol L(-1) cyclamate was 4.7x10(-7) mol L(-1), and the detection limit for cyclamate in the presence of 1.0x10(-4) mol L(-1) aspartame was 4.2x10(-6) mol L(-1). When simultaneously changing the concentration of both aspartame and cyclamate in a 0.5 mol L(-1) sulfuric acid solution, the corresponding detection limits were 3.5x10(-7) and 4.5x10(-6) mol L(-1), respectively. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) obtained was 1.3% for the 1.0x10(-4) mol L(-1) aspartame solution (n=5) and 1.1% for the 3.0x10(-3) mol L(-1) cyclamate solution. The proposed method was successfully applied in the determination of aspartame in several dietary products with results similar to those obtained using an HPLC method at 95% confidence level.

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of myoglobin immobilized on L-cysteine self-assembled gold electrode

Myoglobin (Mb) has been successfully immobilized on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of L-cysteine (Cys) on a gold electrode, Au/Cys. The presence of a pair of well-defined and nearly reversible waves centered at ca. 0.086 V vs Ag/AgCl (pH 6.5) suggests that the native character of Mb heme Fe(III/II) redox couple has been obtained. The formal potential of Mb on Cys SAM exhibited pH-dependent variation in the pH range of 5-9 with a slope of 55 mV/pH, indicating that the electron transfer is accompanied by a single proton exchange. Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of Mb adsorption processes on Au/Cys were studied by using voltammetric and quartz-crystal microbalance methods. The Au/Cys electrode with immobilized Mb exhibited electrocatalytic activity toward ascorbic acid (AA) oxidation with an overpotential decrease of over 400 mV and a linear dependence of current on the AA concentration from 0.5 to 5.0 mmol L(-1).     

Electrochemical response of dopamine at a penicillamine self-assembled gold electrode.

The penicillamine (Pen) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified gold electrode (Pen/Au) is demonstrated to catalyze the electrochemical response of dopamine (DA) by cyclic voltammetry. A pair of well-defined redox waves was obtained and the calculated standard rate constant (k(s)) is 3.88 x 10(-3) cm/s at the self-assembled electrode. The electrode reaction is a quasi-reversible process. The oxidation peak of DA can be used to determine the concentration of DA. The peak current and the concentration of DA are a linear relationship in the range of 2.0 x 10(-5) M to 8.0 x 10(-4) M. The detection limit is 4.0 x 10(-6) M. By ac impedance spectroscopy the apparent electron transfer rate constant (k(app)) of Fe(CN)(3-)/Fe(CN)(4-) at the Pen/Au electrode was obtained as 2.08 x 10(-5) cm/s. The Pen SAM was characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), grazing angle FT-IR spectroscopy and contact angle goniometer.     

Voltammetric determination of mifepristone at a DNA-modified carbon paste electrode

A new strategy for the preparation of a DNA-modified carbon paste electrode is developed. It is found that the anodic response of mifepristone is greatly enhanced at the dsDNA-modified carbon paste electrode comparing with that obtained at the bare electrode, while the response at a ssDNA-modified electrode is similar to bare electrode. So the dsDNA-modified electrode is employed as a sensitive biosensor for the detection of mifepristone. A linear dependence of the peak currents on the concentration is observed in the range 2.0 x 10(-7) approximately 2.0 x 10(6) mol/L, with a detection limit of 1.0 x 10(-7) mol/L. The relative standard deviation is 4.3% for six successive determinations of 1.0 x 10(6) mol/L mifepristone. The determination of mifepristone tablets is carried out and satisfactory results are obtained.     

Flow injection turbidimetric determination of thiamine in pharmaceutical formulations using silicotungstic acid as precipitant reagent

A simple flow injection system is proposed for the determination of thiamine in pharmaceutical formulations. The determination is based on the precipitation reaction of thiamine with silicotungstic acid in acidic medium to form a thiamine silicotungstate suspension that is measured at 420 nm. Adding 0.05% (w/v) poly(ethyleneglycol) in the carrier solution (0.5 mol l(-1) hydrochloric acid), an improvement in the sensitivity, repeatability and baseline stability of the flow injection system was obtained. The calibration graph was linear in the thiamine concentration range from 5.0x10(-5) to 3.0x10(-4) mol l(-1) with a detection limit of 1.0x10(-5) mol l(-1). The relative standard deviations for ten successive measurements of 1.0x10(-4) mol l(-1) and 2.5x10(-4) mol l(-1) thiamine were less than 1% and an analytical frequency of 90 h(-1) was obtained.     

Spectrofluorimetric determination of thiols by use of N[P-(2-benzoxazolyl)phenyl]maleimide

The weak fluorescence of N-[P-(2-benzoxazolyl)phenyl]maleimide (BOPM) can be greatly enhanced by thiol-containing compounds. A sensitive and simple spectrofluorimetric method based on the use of BOPM has been developed for the determination of thiols such as cysteine (Cys) and reduced glutathione (GSH). Calibration plots were linear in the concentration range from 0 to 1.6 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) for Cys and 0 to 1.7 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) for GSH. The detection limits (3a) were 2.36 x 10(-10) mol L(-1) for Cys and 1.49 x 10(-10) mol L(-1) for GSH. Many other amino acids (present at 100-fold greater concentrations) did not interfere with the determination. The proposed method has been used for the determination of Cys in protein hydrolysate and cystine electrolyte or GSH in serum, with recoveries of 95.4-103.7%.     

Electrochemical and Electrocatalytic Properties of Ferrocene Incorporated in L‐Cysteine Self‐Assembled Monolayers on a Gold Electrode

Abstract

The preparation of a gold electrode modified by aminylferrocene (FcAI) covalently bound to L‐cysteine self‐assembled monolayer (L‐Cys/Au SAM) was described, and characterized by cyclic voltammogram (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In pH 7.4 buffers, FcAI incorporated in L‐Cys/Au SAM gave a pair of well‐defined and quasi‐reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks at 0.109 vs. saturated calomel eletrode (SCE), characteristic of Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox couples of the Fc. The apparent surface electron transfer rate constant is 6.86 s^?1 at the modified electrode. The immobilized Fc gave an excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of epinephrine (EP). The catalytic current of EP vs. its concentration has a good linear relation in the range of 1.7×10^?7–1.0×10^?4 mol/L, with the correlation coefficient of 0.9975 and detection limit of 1.8×10^?8 mol/L. The modified electrode can be used for the determination of EP in practical injection. The method is simple, quick, sensitive, and accurate.     

Determination of copper(II) by anodic stripping voltammetry at a 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol self-assembled monolayer-based gold electrode.

2,5-Dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol (DMTD) can bind on the surface of a gold electrode through the strong gold-sulfur interaction. The fabrication and electrochemical characteristics of the DMTD self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-modified gold electrode were investigated. The DMTD SAM electrode exhibited a significantly increased sensitivity. Cu(II) was accumulated in phosphate buffer (pH 4.6) at a potential of -0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for 40 s and then determined by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) in copper-free phosphate buffer (pH 5.0). The effects of various parameters, such as the pH values of the preconcentration solution and measurement solution, the accumulation potential, and the accumulation time, were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, a linear calibration graph was obtained in the concentration range of 8.0 x 10(-6) to 8.0 x 10(-5) mol l(-1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9978. The relative standard deviations for eight successive determinations were 4.3 and 2.9% for 1.0 x 10(-5) and 2.0 x 10(-5) mol l(-1) Cu(II), respectively. The detection limit (three times signal to noise) was 4.0 x 10(-7) mol l(-1). The proposed voltammetric method was utilized successfully to detect the concentration of Cu(II) ions in tap water samples.

Comparative electrochemical study of new self-assembled monolayers of 2-{[(Z)-1-(3-furyl)methylidene]amino}-1-benzenethiol and 2-{[(2-sulfanylphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol for determination of dopamine in the presence of high concentration of ascorbic acid and uric acid

The comparative electrochemical behavior of self-assembled monolayers of two Schiff's bases, 2-{[(Z)-1-(3-furyl)methylidene]amino}-1-benzenethiol (FMAB) and 2-{[(2-sulfanylphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol (SIMP) on a bare gold electrode (Au FMAB SAM-modified electrode and Au SIMP SAM-modified electrode, respectively), was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a 0.1 mol L(-1) KCl solution that contains 5.0 × 10(-3) mol L(-1) [Fe(CN)(6)](3-/4-). The results revealed that the modified electrodes showed an electrocatalytic activity toward the anodic oxidation of dopamine by a marked enhancement in the current response and lower overpotential (60 and 90 mV for the Au FMAB and Au SIMP SAM-modified electrodes, respectively) in phosphate buffer solution at pH 6.0. The Au SIMP SAM-modified electrode was applied successfully to the determination of dopamine in the presence of a high concentration of ascorbic acid. Selective detection was realized in total elimination of ascorbic acid response-a method different from the ones based on the potential separations. The detection limit of dopamine was 5.0 × 10(-8) mol L(-1) in a linear range from 1.0 × 10(-6) to 1.2 × 10(-4) mol L(-1) in the presence of 1.0 × 10(-3) mol L(-1) ascorbic acid. The interference studies also showed that the Au SIMP SAM-modified electrode exhibited good selectivity in the presence of a large excess of uric acid and could be employed for the determination of dopamine in pharmaceutical formulations, plasma samples and human urine with adequate selectivity and precision.     

Fluorimetric determination of peroxynitrite based on an enzymatic reaction.

A novel fluorimetric method for the determination of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) using hemoglobin (Hb) as a catalyst is described.

The fluorescent product was monitored by fluorimetry. A linear calibration graph was obtained over an ONOO- concentration range from 4.95 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) to 2.97 x 10(-5) mol L(-1), with a detection limit of 9.78 x 10(-9) mol L(-1) ONOO-. The relative standard deviation at an ONOO- concentration of 2.11 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) was 4.15% (n = 9).     

Preparation of aminylferrocene/nanogold modified glassy carbon electrode and its electrocatalysis on dopamine

Aminylferrocene(FcAI)-Nanogold(NG) modified glassy carbon electrode (FcAI/NG/GCE) was prepared by the Au-N bond between Au and FcAI. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was employed to study the surface of the modified electrode. The electrochemical behavior of dopamine (DA) on the modified electrode was investigated and it was found that the modified electrode had an obvious electrocatalytic effect on DA. Compared with a bare GCE, the modified electrode exhibited an apparent shift of the oxidation peak potential in the negative potential direction and a marked enhancement in the current response for DA. We investigated the determination of DA on the modified electrode by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Linear calibration curve was obtained in the range of 7.0 x 10(-7) mol/L to 6x10(-4) mol/L of DA in 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.0) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9989. The detection limit (S/N = 3) of DA was estimated to be 1.0 x 10(-7) mol/L. Especially, by using the modified electrode, we can separate the oxidation peaks of ascorbic acid (AA) and DA in the PBS and it was satisfactory for the determination of DA with the interference of AA.

2,4,6-tri(3,5-Dimethylpyrazoyl)-1,3,5-triazine modified carbon paste electrode for trace Cobalt(II) determination by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry

A differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry was developed for the sensitive and selective determination of Co(II) at 2,4,6-tri(3,5-dimethylpyrazoyl)-1,3,5-triazine modified carbon paste electrode in 0.1 mol l(-1) NH(4)Cl solution (pH 4.95). The oxidation peak of Co(II) was observed at 0.03 V(vs. Ag/AgCl) by scanning the potential in a positive direction. The analysis procedure consisted of an open circuit accumulation step in stirred sample solution. This was followed by medium exchange to a clean solution and subsequently an anodic potential scan was effect to obtain the voltammetric peak. The current was proportional to the concentration of the Co(II) ion in a range of 1x10(-8)-1x10(-6) mol l(-1) for 3 min accumulation and in the range of 1x10(-9)-1x10(-8) mol l(-1) for 5 min accumulation; most of metal ions do not interfere with the determination. The developed method was applied to Co(II) determination in potable water.
