Abstract: | A simple electrochemical method was used to directly assess the drug‐release profile. The method is based on the multiple pulse amperometric measurement of the oxidation and reduction of doxorubicin released from liposome at a MWCNTs‐modified glassy carbon electrode (MWCNT‐GCE). The released doxorubicin was detected at +0.60 and ?0.60 V by two different oxidation and reduction processes, respectively. The third potential pulse (?1.00 V) was applied for the regeneration of MWCNT‐GCE. The main advantage of this method is that there is no need for any operation for the quantitative analysis during the release of the drug from nanoparticles. |
