A polymeric film of Alizarin Red S was formed on a glassy carbon electrode and used for electrochemical detection of Levodopa (L‐DOPA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). The sensor represented excellent electrocatalytic activity for their oxidations. The resultant differential pulse voltammograms show well defined and fully resolved anodic oxidation peaks for determination of the analytes. Anodic oxidation currents of L‐DOPA, HVA, and AA showed linearity with good correlation coefficient (>0.996), high sensitivity, and low detection limits (6, 17, and 30 nM respectively). The sensor was used for recovery of analytes in human plasma 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.
