“…10 In addition to purified enzymes, [11][12][13] animal, 14 and vegetable extracts, [15][16][17][18] immobilized on the electrode surface by different methods, have also been employed as catalyst sources in both aqueous and organic solutions. Carbon paste electrodes have been widely used owing to the possibility of immobilizing not only enzymes, but also ligands, redox mediators, biological tissues, to catalyze the oxidation/reduction of compounds involved in enzymatic reaction.…”

Um biossensor de pasta de carbono modificado com extrato bruto enzimático do fungo Pleurotus ostreatus como fonte de lacase é proposto para a determinação de catecolaminas em formulações farmacêuticas. Essa enzima catalisa a oxidação de adrenalina ou dopamina nas quinonas correspondentes e a corrente obtida na redução eletroquímica de cada um dos produtos é relacionada a concentração dessas catecolaminas em solução da amostra. O efeito da concentração de lacase de 0,29 a 1,8 U/mg de pasta de carbono, do pH de 3,0 a 8,0, da velocidade de varredura de 10 a 40 mV s -1 e amplitudes de pulso de potencial de 10 a 60 mV sobre a resposta voltamétrica de pulso diferencial foi investigado. O desvio padrão relativo foi menor que 1,8% para solução de hidroquinona 2,8 x 10 -4 mol L -1 em pH 7 (n=10). Recuperações variando de 97,3 a 101% para adrenalina e de 95,8 a 102% para dopamina foram obtidas. As curvas analíticas foram lineares no intervalo de concentração de adrenalina de 6,0 x 10 -5 a 7,0 x 10 -4 mol L -1 e de 7,0 x 10 -5 a 4,0 x 10 -4 mol L -1 para dopamina, com limites de detecção de 7,9 x 10 -6 mol L -1 e 9,8 x 10 -6 mol L -1 , respectivamente. Esse biossensor foi empregado para a determinação de adrenalina e dopamina em formulações farmacêuticas. Os resultados obtidos com o biossensor para a determinação dessas catecolaminas em formulações farmacêuticas estão em concordância a um nível de confiança de 95% com o procedimento da Farmacopéia americana.A carbon paste biosensor modified with a crude enzymatic extract of the Pleurotus ostreatus fungi as a laccase source is proposed for catecholamine determination in pharmaceutical formulations. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of adrenaline or dopamine in the corresponding quinones and the current obtained in the electrochemical reduction of each of the products is related to the concentration of these catecholamines in the sample solution. The effect of the laccase concentration from 0.29 to 1.8 U/mg of carbon paste, pH from 3.0 to 8.0, scan rate from 10 to 40 mV s -1 and potential pulse amplitude from 10 to 60 mV on the differential pulse voltammetric response was investigated. The relative standard deviation was smaller than 1.8% for a 2.8 x 10 -4 mol L -1 hydroquinone solution at pH 7.0 (n=10). Recoveries varied from 97.3 to 101% for adrenaline and from 95.8 to 102% for dopamine. The analytical curves were rectilinear in the adrenaline concentration range from 6.0 x 10 -5 to 7.0 x 10 -4 mol L -1 and 7.0 x 10 -5 to 4.0 x 10 -4 mol L -1 for dopamine, with detection limits of 7.9 x 10 -6 mol L -1 and 9.8 x 10 -6 mol L -1 , respectively. This biosensor was used for adrenaline and dopamine determinations in pharmaceutical formulations. The results obtained using the proposed biosensor are in close agreement with those obtained using an American Pharmacopoeia procedure at a 95% confidence level.

“…The increasing interest in whole-cell biosensors since the first reports by DIVIES [387] and by RECHNNITZ [388] has led to the development of a large number of analyte-specific amperometric and potentiometric sensors. In these devices an immoblized layer of whole cells (entrapped in a gel, for example, or membrane-supported) is placed at the surface of an electrode.…”

“…The presence in situ of biological structures supporting multicomponent or multistep biological reaction sequences useful for detection purposes and ensuring optimum enzyme activity (many enzymes lose activity when isolated in vitro) 3. Low preparation cost; i.e., growth in culture For the reasons outlined above, nearly all whole-cell biosensors reported to date have employed relatively simple bacterial or algal cells [372], [387][388][389][390]. Existing whole-cell biosensor technology has also been based exclusively on electrochemical transduction of cellular responses.…”

The incorporation of horseradish roots into the carbon paste matrix results in an effective bioelectrode for sensing hydrogen peroxide. The response is based on the hydrogen peroxidase activity in the tissue. Because of the intimate contact between the biocatalytic and sensing sites, a very Past response is observed, as desired for practical biosensing applications. The behavior of the new bioelectrode is characterized using a flow injection system. Response time (to5%) as low as 11 s has been determined.The limit of detection is 3 X lo-' M (1 ng), the relative standard deviation is 1.4%, and the response is linear up to 1.2 X M. Oxidizable biological compounds do not interfere in the determination of hydrogen peroxide. The response is characterized also with respect to paste composition, flow rate, applied potential, reducing-agent concentration, injection volume, and other variables. Rapid and sensitive flow-injection measurements of glucose are illustrated. The tissue-modified electrode possesses many of the features desirable for use as an amperometric sensor for oxidase substrates.
