An electrochemical sensor based on polyaniline for monitoring hydroquinone and its damage on DNA

Thermodynamic and electrochemical study of some dihydroxybenzenes in the presence of different nucleophiles

“…In addition, many pharmaceutical drugs such as doxorubicin, daunorubicin, and mitomycin C that are used in cancer chemotherapy are composed of specifically substituted quinones [7]. Therefore, it seems that syntheses of organic compounds with structure of catechol and hydroquinone are interesting regarding pharmaceutical properties [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. A vast number of valuable derivatives have been synthesized using electrochemical oxidation of 1 and 2 in the presence of various nucleophiles.…”

Label-free electrochemical detection of methyltransferase activity and inhibitor screening based on endonuclease HpaII and the deposition of polyaniline

“…Polyaniline (PANI) has been considered as one of the most significant conducting polymers, due to its remarkable electrical, electrochemical, redox properties and good environmental stability (Amano et al, 1994). Owing to its excellent performance, PANI has been applied to the fields of electrocatalysis and electrochemical sensors (Hosseini et al, 2010;Tang et al, 2014;Wilson et al, 2010). DNA that have negative charges on its phosphodiester backbone make them promising templates for the synthesis of polyaniline.…”

Carbon dots based fluorescent sensor for sensitive determination of hydroquinone

“…Meanwhile, H 2 Q is also a major component of pollutants produced by industrial wastewater and agricultural actives [2]. Moreover, H 2 Q is a potentially carcinogenic substance that may cause severe effects on the central nervous system [3,4]. H 2 Q has extremely detrimental impacts on humans through dermal, oral and respiratory tracks, which results in serious environmental problems and health hazards [5].…”
