Purpose: Drug-abuse, namely morphine (MO) affects the metabolism of neurotransmitterssuch as dopamine (DA). Therefore, it is crucial to devise a sensitive sensing technique tosimultaneously determine both compounds in real samples.Methods: The fabrication of the sensor is based on in situ modification of a carbon paste (CP)electrode with cobalt oxide nanoparticles, graphene, and ionic liquid crystal in presence ofsodium dodecyl sulfate; CoGILCCP-SDS. The modified sensor is characterized using scanningelectron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and voltammetry measurements.Results: Electron transfer kinetics and analytical performance of the proposed sensor wereenhanced due to the synergistic role of all the modifiers. The simultaneous determination of MOand DA achieved low detection limits of 0.54 nmol L−1 and 0.25 nmol L−1, respectively. Besides,a carbon-based electrochemical sensor is fabricated for the nano-molar determination of MOin real samples and formulations. The sensor showed fouling resistance and anti-interferenceability in presence of other species in human fluids. The real sample analysis of MO wassuccessfully achieved with good recovery results in urine samples and pharmaceutical tablets.Linear dynamic range, sensitivity, detection limit and quantification limit of MO in urine were5 nmol L−1 to 0.6 μmol L−1, 6.19 μA/μmol L-1, 0.484 nmol L−1 and 1.61 nmol L−1, respectively.Conclusion: This sensor has great ability to be extended for electrochemical applications inassaying of many drugs.

A novel, reliable electrochemical sensor is fabricated for direct and sensitive determination of norepinephrine (NE) based on gold nanoparticles, ionic liquid crystal, and β-cyclodextrin modified carbon paste electrode, namely AuILCCDCPE. The ionic liquid crystal (ILC) played a key role in improving the current response of electro-oxidation of NE compared with other ionic liquids modified electrodes. The ILC increased the ionic conductivity of the paste and formed noncovalent interactions with both host (CD) and guest (NE) compounds. The solid state structure of the ILC helped in the formation of ordered films in the paste. Furthermore, CD and Au nanoparticles raised the stability and the electrocatalytic ability of the proposed sensor. Under optimized conditions, the fabricated electrochemical sensor showed a good electrochemical response towards NE in human urine in the linear dynamic ranges of 0.05–10 μmol/L and 20–300 μmol/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 and detection limit of 3.12 × 10−9 mol/L in the low concentration range. The practical analytical performance of the sensor was attained for determination of NE in real samples with satisfied recovery results. This sensor has great ability to be extended for electrochemical applications in assays of other drugs.

Herein, an electrochemical sensor has been proposed for the determination of losartan (LOS) in pharmaceutical formulations. A room temperature ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIM.PF6) was applied to fabricate a modified carbon ceramic electrode (IL-CCE). The electrochemical studies were performed by the cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry (CV and LSV), chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The anodic peak currents were increased with the LOS concentration and indicated a linear dynamic range from 20 to 200 μM and a detection limit of 11.7 μM (S/N = 3) under the optimized conditions. Satisfactory results were obtained by analysis of LOS in pharmaceutical tablets.
