Electrochemical determination of closantel in the commercial formulation by square-wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry

Abstract

In this paper, the square-wave adsorptive stripping voltammetric (SWAdSV) determination of the veterinary drug closantel using a renewable silver amalgam film electrode (Hg(Ag)FE) is presented. As observed in SWAdSV, closantel provided one well-shaped reduction peak suitable for analytical purposes at potential ca. −1.4 V in the Britton–Robinson (B-R) buffer at pH 7.0. At optimal conditions, the SWAdSV response of Hg(Ag)FE for determining closantel was linear over two concentration ranges of 5.0 × 10−8 to 2.0 × 10−7 mol dm−3 and 2.0 × 10−7 to 1.2 × 10−6 mol dm−3 with a detection limit of 1.1 × 10−8 mol dm−3. In addition, a relevance of the developed SWAdSV method was successfully verified by the quantitative analysis of closantel in the commercial formulation Closamectin Pour-On with satisfactory results (RSD = 5.8%, recovery = 101.8%). The results showed that the developed procedure can be adequate for screening purposes. Also, the electrochemical behavior of closantel was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, and it was found that closantel exhibited a quasi-reversible behavior with cathodic peak on the forward scan at ca. −1.4 V and anodic peak on the reverse scan at ca. −1.35 V vs. Ag/AgCl in B–R buffer, pH 7.0. As the obtained results showed that the electrode mechanism of closantel is controlled by the adsorption, the effect of adsorption was studied using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique.Graphical abstract

“…A relationship for NR concentration and anodic current response was witnessed in two linear ranges as constructed in Figure (b). The appearance of two linear dynamic ranges during DPV quantification has been previously reported . It is plausibly caused by kinetic limitations of transport mechanism towards electrode surface in diffusion mode.…”

“…The choice of optimal supporting electrolyte is often a crucial point in electrochemical studies, since in many cases it can influence the studied reactions . Hence, in this work, two types of buffer solutions as supporting electrolytes were checked for their suitability in the determination of Clo , namely: Britton‐Robinson buffer solutions (pH range of 4.0–9.0) and phosphate buffer solutions (pH range of 6.8–8.0).…”

Alternative methods of monitoring emerging contaminants in water: a review

“…Brycht et al (2016) employed a silver amalgam film electrode to detect closantel (1.1 × 10 −8 mol dm −3 ), an antiparasitic drug. 51 An excellent approach of detecting atrazine in WW samples is combining platinum NPs and C 3 C 4 NTs to modify the GC electrode by electropolymerization of Py monomers, and this sensor showed an improved LOD of 1.5 × 10 −4 nM 52 for atrazine. Pesticides such as chlorpyrifos, parathion, diazinon, phosalone, 4-chlorophenol, atrazine, diuron, and dicloran are also identified with electrochemical MIP sensors in river, tap, river, and wastewater samples using the SWV method.…”
