We present the fabrication of platinum (Pt0) nanoparticle (ca. 3 nm average diameter) decorated vertically aligned graphene (VG) screen-printed electrodes (Pt/VG-SPE) and explore their physicochemical characteristics and electrocatalytic activity towards...
The simultaneous voltammetric determination of antihypertensive drugs amlodipine besylate (AML) and atenolol (ATN) using a cathodically pretreated boron-doped diamond electrode (CP-BDDE) is reported for the first time. The anodic peak potentials of AML and ATN at a CP-BDDE were found to be 0.727 and 1.32 V (vs. Ag/AgCl (3.0 mol L -1 KCl)) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), respectively, by cyclic voltammetry. It was observed that the CP-BDDE possesses improved performance for the simultaneous determination of AML and ATN when compared to other carbon-based electrodes in these conditions. Using square-wave voltammetric technique, the obtained analytical curves were linear in the concentration range from 2.9-33 µmol L -1 for AML and 9.8-190 µmol L -1 for ATN, with limits of detection of 0.17 and 0.22 µmol L -1 , respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of AML and ATN in pharmaceutical samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
