Glutathione, a low molecular mass thiol compound, is considered a vital biomarker for various disease and cancers owing to the variation in the level of GSH from its normal level in the micromolar to millimolar range in biological fluids and cells.

The antimicrobial peptide dermaseptin 01 (DS 01), from the skin secretion ofPhyllomedusa hypochondrialisfrogs, was immobilized in nanostructured layered films in conjunction with nickel tetrasulfonated phthalocyanines (NiTsPc), widely used in electronic devices, using layer-by-layer technique. The films were used as a biosensor to detect the presence of dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, with detection limits in the order of 10−6 mol L−1. The use of DS 01 in LbL film generated selectivity in the detection of DA despite the presence of ascorbic acid found in biological fluids. This work is the first to report that the antimicrobial peptide and NiTsPc LbL film exhibits electroanalytical activity to DA oxidation. The selectivity in the detection of DA is a fundamental aspect for the development of electrochemical sensors with potential applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries.

Proton Hahn spin-echo n.m.r. spectroscopy was employed to detect abnormal metabolites present in rheumatoid synovial fluid that are derived from the deleterious generation of reactive oxygen radical species during exercise of the inflamed rheumatoid joint. A resonance attributable to a low-molecular-mass N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharide formed by the oxygen-radical-mediated depolymerization of synovial-fluid hyaluronate was clearly demonstrable when subjects with inflammatory joint disease were exercised. Moreover, formate, which may be derived from the attack of OH.radical on synovial-fluid carbohydrates, was also readily detectable in these samples. gamma-Radiolysis of rheumatoid synovial fluid samples and aqueous solutions of hyaluronate also gave rise to the production of the low-molecular-mass hyaluronate-derived oligosaccharide species and markedly elevated concentrations of (non-protein-bound) formate in the biological fluids. As expected, corresponding spectra of gamma-irradiated blood serum samples obtained from normal volunteers did not contain the signal attributable to the low-molecular-mass oligosaccharide species, but the formate resonance (barely detectable in non-irradiated normal serum samples) became clearly visible. Additionally, a curious increase in the effective concentration of non-protein-bound low-molecular-mass metabolites such as acetate, citrate, lactate and glutamine was observed after gamma-radiolysis of all biological fluids studied. The hyaluronate-derived low-molecular-mass oligosaccharide species and formate are suggested as novel markers of reactive oxygen radical activity in the inflamed rheumatoid joint during exercise-induced hypoxic/reperfusion injury.

Given the increasing demand for practical and low-cost analytical techniques, biosensors have attracted attention for use in the quality analysis of drugs, medicines, and other analytes of interest in the pharmaceutical area. Biosensors allow quantification not only of the active component in pharmaceutical formulations, but also the analysis of degradation products and metabolites in biological fluids. Thus, this article presents a brief review of biosensor use in pharmaceutical analysis, focusing on enzymatic electrochemical sensors.

Tuberculosis remains a global problem with a huge burden, estimated at 10.4 million new cases of infection in 2015. First line anti-tuberculosis drugs-based electrochemical sensors are being measured as an important development in the arenas of electroanalysis and are nowadays attracting the attention of several researchers. Transformation from classic electrochemical sensors which normally accept the complete value of the signal as the output, first line anti-tuberculosis drugs based electrochemical sensors retain dual electrochemical signals and the quantitative extent of target is based on the ratio of these two signals. Electrochemical methods have integral benefits over other well-established analytical procedures, this review pointing to offer an efficient summary of the newest developments in the voltammetric detection of anti-tuberculosis drugs. Moreover, the advantages and limits of these approaches are critically discussed and deliberated. The review exposes that in spite of exhausting a variation of chemically fabricated electrodes to isolate the first line anti-tuberculosis drugs, there is still a deficiency of applicability of the voltammetric techniques to measure these complexes in human body fluids, exclusively in blood plasma and pharmaceutical samples as well.

1. During pathological states of iron-overload or oxidant stress, low-molecular-mass iron can become available within extracellular fluids. 2. This iron would be converted to the ferrous state were it not for the protective anti-oxidant protein caeruloplasmin. 3. The ferrous-ion-oxidizing activity of caeruloplasmin rapidly converts ferrous ions back to the less reactive ferric state so that they can bind to available binding sites on transferrin. 4. Cerebrospinal fluids, however, often appear to contain low-molecular-mass iron, high levels of ascorbate and low levels of ferroxidase activity with little or no iron-binding capacity. 5. When iron ions are present in cerebrospinal fluid they are therefore likely to be in the ferrous state. 6. The development and application of an assay to speciate and measure ferrous ions in simple aqueous solution and their redox cycling activity in biological fluids is described.

AbstractIt is notorious that researches related to electrochemical sensors increased significantly due the promising characteristics that these devices present such as the possibility of obtaining information, with minimum manipulation of the studied system, in real time, and with low environmental impact. This article covers the carbon nanomaterials, presenting important aspects such as main properties, synthesis methods, and the application of these materials in the development of electrochemical sensors for the analysis of drugs and compounds of clinical interest. In this context, drug analysis is extremely important for quality control, to ensure that the medicine fulfills its role effectively without possible complications that could compromise the patient’s health and quality of life. In addition, analytical methods capable of determining compounds of clinical interest in biological fluids are extremely important for the indication of effective diagnoses. Thus, the versatility, selectivity, and portability of the electroanalytical techniques make the electrochemical sensors a favorite tool for the determination of drugs and compounds of clinical interest. It will be possible to follow in the present work that carbon nanomaterials have excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, strong adsorption capacity, high electrocatalytic effect, high biocompatibility, and high surface area. The possibility of formation of different composite materials based on carbonaceous nanomaterials that makes these materials promising for the development of analytical sensors, contributing to rapid, sensitive, and low-cost analyses can also be highlighted.
