In this study, we report the synthesis and application of a FePt/CNTs nanocomposite as a highly sensitive sensor and novel amide ligand (9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-dicarboximido)-4-ethylbenzene-1,2-diol as a mediator for the determination of glutathione (GSH), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and tryptophan (Trp). The synthesized materials were characterized with different methods such as NMR, IR spectroscopy, TEM, XRD, FESEM, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The modified electrode exhibited a potent and persistent electron mediating behavior followed by well-separated oxidation peaks of GSH, NADH and Trp. The peak currents were linearly dependent on GSH, NADH and Trp concentrations in the range of 0.08-220, 1.0-400 and 5.0-500 μmol L(-1), with detection limits of 0.05, 0.8 and 1.0 μmol L(-1), respectively. The modified electrode was used for the determination of these compounds in real samples.
Nalbuphine (NB) and diclofenac (DF) are two important drugs for the relief of moderate to severe pain and determination of them are very important due to complications related to their overdose. A promising nanostructure modified electrode was fabricated by distributing Pt:Co nanoalloy (Pt:Co/NL) into carbon paste matrix in the presence of 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium bromide (1M3BIBr) as a conductive binder. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were employed to confirm the synthesis of Pt:Co/NL by polyol method. The proposed sensor was applied to the simultaneous determination of nalbuphine (NB) and diclofenac (DF) in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution for the first time. The calibration curves for NB, and DF were obtained in the ranges of 0.05 to 1290 μM and 0.1 to 900 μM, respectively. The detection limits (3σ) were 9 nM and 50 nM for NB and DF, respectively. The interference study shows that the carbon paste electrode modified with Pt:Co/NL and 1M3BIBr (Pt:Co/NL/1M3BIBr/CPE) exhibits excellent selectivity for determination NB and DF in the presence of other biological specie. The 1M3BIBr was applied to ampule and tablet samples and excellent results were obtained.
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.
