Central composite rotatable design in the development of a new method for optimization, voltammetric determination and electrochemical behavior of betaxolol in the presence of acetaminophen based on a gold nanoparticle modified electrode

Abstract

In the present study, the oxidation peak current of the betaxolol in a 0.20 M Britton-Robinson buffer solution was optimized by experimental design for its determination in the presence of acetaminophen. A central composite rotatable design was used to evaluate the effects of the variables by the differential pulse voltammetry method. These variables include scan rate, step potential, modulation amplitude, gold nanoparticles content and pH. Then, under the optimized conditions the dynamic range for betaxolol in the presence of acetaminophen was from 0.50 mM to 125.00 mM and the detection limit was found to be 46.00 nM. The characterization of the gold nanoparticle modified carbon paste electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Other voltammetric methods such as double-potential step chronoamperometry and linear sweep voltammetry were also applied. Using these methods, the diffusion coefficient (D ¼ 7.43 Â 10 À5 cm 2 s À1 ) and the kinetic parameters such as the electron transfer coefficient (a ¼ 0.60) and exchanging current density (j 0 ¼ 4.6 Â 10 À4 mA cm À2 ) for BET were determined. The results indicated that the gold nanoparticle modified carbon paste electrode could be employed for the determination of betaxolol in real samples such as pharmaceutical formulations and plasma samples.

Understanding the Seed-Mediated Growth of Gold Nanorods through a Fractional Factorial Design of Experiments

“…Although this statistical method of experimentation and analysis was developed in the 1920s and brought into the chemical sciences after World War II, a search of the literature finds few examples of factorial experimental design that involves nanoparticles. This method has been applied in optimizing analytical methods involving nanoparticles − and in preparing pharmaceutical nanoparticle therapies, − nanoparticle composites, , and nanoparticles of various compositions. − Changing one factor at a time while the remaining factors are held constant, the one-factor-at-a-time method of experimentation, is standard practice in chemistry. However, the one-factor-at-a-time experimental design provides only an estimate of an effect for a single factor at selected and fixed levels for all other factors.…”

“…In this sense, the electroanalytical techniques associated to chemometric tools emerge as an interesting alternative for simultaneous and selective quantification of pesticides with the advantage of being cost effective and environmentally friendly 22, 23. In chemometrics tools, one of the more used approaches is the factorial planning that makes possible to obtain the best analysis parameters based on the observation of the variables in the system as well as the way of mutual influences.…”
