Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Behavior of Nortriptyline Hydrochloride and its Determination in Surfactant Media

Abstract

The effect of adding surface active agents to electrolytes containing nortriptyline hydrochloride on the voltammetric response of a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) was studied. The current signal due to the reduction process was a function of the amount of nortriptyline hydrochloride, pH of the medium, type of the surfactant, and accumulation time at the electrode surface. Addition of Tween-20 to the nortriptyline hydrochloride containing electrolyte enhances the reduction current signal. Voltammograms of the drug with Tween-20 in Britton Robinson buffers of pH 2-11 exhibit a single well-defined reduction peak, which may be due to the reduction of -C horizontal lineC group. The reduction process was irreversible over the entire pH range, and the mechanism of reduction was postulated on the basis of controlled potential electrolysis and coulometry. Application of Tween-20 in the electrochemical determination of nortriptyline hydrochloride using square-wave voltammetry at the HMDE enhanced the detection limit of the analyte concentration from 8.24 ng/mL in the absence of surfactant to 0.92 ng/mL when present.

4-Aminobenzoic acid covalently modified glassy carbon electrode for sensing paracetamol at different temperatures

“…These methods need a tedious extraction process prior to detection; therefore, they are unsuitable for routine analysis. Recently, the use of electrochemical technique has greatly attracted attention to sense drug molecule owing to its direct rapid response, simple operation, and high sensitivity [5][6][7][8].…”

Voltammetric Determination of Clozapine in Pharmaceutical Formulations and Biological Fluids Using an In Situ Surfactant‐Modified Carbon Ionic Liquid Electrode

“…Surfactants influence the electrochemical processes of electroactive species [50][51][52] and thus are widely used in electroanalytical chemistry to improve the sensitivity and selectivity [53][54][55][56]. Adsorption of surfactant aggregates on the electrode surface via hydrophobic interactions might significantly facilitate the electron transfer; change the redox potentials or charge transfer coefficients or diffusion coefficients by stabilizing radical ions and other reaction intermediates and also by modifying the double layer structure [50,[57][58][59] The effects on the peak currents of CLZ using two ionic surfactants such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB-cationic) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDSanionic) and a non-ionic surfactant such as Triton X-100 (TX-100) as an in situ modifier were investigated.…”
