Novel potentiometric devices “ion-selective electrodes (ISEs)” were designed and characterized for the detection of 17β-estradiol (EST) hormone. The selective membranes were based on the use of man-tailored biomimics (i.e., molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)) as recognition ionophores. The synthesized MIPs include a functional monomer (methacrylic acid (MAA)) and a cross-linker (ethylene glycol dimethacrylic acid (EGDMA)) in their preparation. Changes in the membrane potential induced by the dissociated 17β-estradiol were investigated in 50 mM CO32−/HCO3− buffer solution at pH 10.5. The ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) exhibited fast response and good sensitivity towards 17β-estradiol with a limit of detection 1.5 µM over a linear range starts from 2.5 µM with an anionic response of 61.2 ± 1.2 mV/decade. The selectivity pattern of the proposed ISEs was also evaluated and revealed an enhanced selectivity towards EST over several phenolic compounds. Advantages revealed by the presented sensor (i.e., wide range of assay, enhanced accuracy and precision, low limit of detection, good selectivity, long-term potential stability, rapid response and long life-span and absence of any sample pretreatment steps) suggest its use in routine quality control/quality assurance tests. They were successfully applied to estradiol determination in biological fluids and in different pharmaceutical preparations collected from the local market.

Abstract Conditions were established for the identification and quantitation of gliclazide in pharmaceutical preparations by capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization detection and cool on-column injection. Gliclazide was extracted with methanol and, after filtration, assayed on a (25 m × 0.25 mm id, 0.2 μm film thickness) CP-WAX 58 (FFAP)–CB WCOT fused silica column. Because the available preparations were of various origins and, therefore, could differ in auxiliary substances and their qualitative parameters, the influence of the matrix constituents on the analytical results was taken into account. Good separation conditions were established for the developed method. The retention time of gliclazide is about 36 min and differs from the retention times of the internal standard (approximately 29 min) and additional peaks present in chromatograms (20–26 min), which were assigned to matrix constituents. The recoveries of gliclozide were high and reached 96.5%. The developed method is characterized by selectivity and precision (relative standard deviation 0.38–1.26%), a wide range of linearity (0.1–10.0 mg/mL), and a limit of detection of 30 ng. In addition, the results of chromatographic analyses calculated in 3 ways were compared with those obtained by UV spectrophotometry. The suggested technique of cool on-column injection, in contrast with split-splitless injection (used in preliminary investigations), reduces to a minimum the possibility of thermal decomposition of gliclazide.

A rapid, simple and sensitive spectrophotometric and RP-HPLC methods have been developed for the quantitative determination of cefotaxime-Na in both pure and dosage forms. The spectrophotometric method was based on diazotization of cefotaxime-Na and then coupling with 8-hydroxyquinoline in an alkaline medium. The resulting azo dye exhibited maximum absorption at 551 nm with a molar absorptivity of 0.597 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1. Beer′s law was obeyed over the range 10-700 μg/25 mL (i.e. 0.4-28.0 ppm) with an excellent determination coefficient (R2 = 0.9993). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.0194 and 0.3765 μg mL-1, respectively. The recoveries were obtained in the range 97.3-102.5% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was better than ± 1.56. The HPLC method has been developed for the determination of cefotaxime-Na. The analysis were carried out on a C18 column and a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer solution (0.024M KH2PO4 and 0.01M H3PO4) at pH 3.5 in the ratio of 60:40 (v:v), with a flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1 and UV detection at 258 nm. The proposed method showed good linearity (in a range of concentration 1.0-200 μg mL-1. The recovery percent and a relative standard deviations were found in the range 96 to 104.8% and ± 0.017 to ± 0.031%, respectively. Both methods were applied successfully to the assay of cefotaxime-Na in commercial injection preparations.

Objective: To build up an advantageous strategy for sensitive determination of catechol (CC), a poly (proline) modified graphene paste electrode (PPMGPE) was fabricated and used as a voltammetric sensor for the determination of CC. Methods: The performance of the modified electrode was studied using cyclic voltammetric (CV) and differential pulse voltammetric method (DPV). The modified electrode was characterized by CV and DPV. The surface of the modified electrode was examined by FESEM. The electrochemical behavior of CC in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.5) was inspected using bare graphene paste electrode (BGPE) and PPMGPE. Results & Conclusion: The PPMGPE shows a lower limit of detection, calculated to be 8.7×10–7mol L−1 (S/N=3). This modified electrode was applied successfully for the determination of CC in water samples without applying any sample pretreatment.

A sensitive fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor is proposed to detect 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), which is a typical DNA oxidation damage product excreted in human urine. The FRET biosensor was based on carbon dots (CDs)-modified nanoporous alumina membrane with CDs as fluorescence donors. Gold nanoparticles were encapsulated in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 to form Au@ZIF-8 nanoparticles as signal quenchers. CDs and Au@ZIF-8 nanoparticles were biofunctionalized by 8-OHdG antibody. The capture of 8-OHdG on the membrane substrates can bring Au@ZIF-8 nanoparticles closely to CDs. With 350 nm excitation, the fluorescence of CDs was quenched by Au@ZIF-8 nanoparticles and FRET effect occurred. The quenching efficiency was analyzed. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.31 nM. Interference experiments of the FRET biosensor showed good specificity for 8-OHdG detection. The biosensor could detect urinary 8-OHdG sensitively and selectively with simple sample pretreatment processes. It shows applicability for detecting biomarkers of DNA damage in urine or other biological fluids.

A simple potentiometric sensor is described for accurate, precise, and rapid determination of sulfite additives in beverages. The sensor is based on the use of cobalt phthalocyanine as a recognition material, dispersed in a plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) matrix membrane. o-Nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as a membrane solvent and tri-dodecylmethyl- ammonium chloride (TDMAC) as ion discriminators are used as membrane additives. Under the optimized conditions, sulfite ion is accurately and precisely measured under batch and flow injection modes of analysis. The sensor exhibits fast and linear response for 1.0 × 10−2–1.0 × 10−6 M (800–0.08 µg/mL) and 1.0 × 10−1–5.0 × 10−5 M (8000–4 µg/mL) sulfite with Nernstian slopes of −27.4 ± 0.3 and −23.7 ± 0.6 mV/concentration decade under static and hydrodynamic modes of operation, respectively. Results in good agreement with the standard iodometric method are obtained.Validation of the assay method is examined in details including precision, accuracy, bias, trueness, repeatability, reproducibility, and uncertainty and good performance characteristics of the method are obtained. The sensor response is stable over the pH range of 5 to 7 without any significant interference from most common anions. The advantages offered by the proposed sensor (i.e., wide range of assay, high accuracy and precision, low detection limit, reasonable selectivity, long term response stability, fast response, and long life span and absence of any sample pretreatment steps) suggest its use in the quality control/quality assurance routine tests in beverages industries, toxicological laboratories and by inspection authorities.

In this study a simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of an antihistaminic drug chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) in pure form, pharmaceutical preparations, spiked humane urine and spiked blood serum. This method was based on the formation of ion-pairs between the basic nitrogen of the CPM drug and four chromogenic reagents namely bromocresol purple (BCP), alizarine Red S (ARS), eriochrome cyanine R (ECR), and cresol red (CR). The extracted colored ion-pairs were measured spectrophotometrically at 390, 425, 503 and 408 nm for BCP, ARS, ECR and CR reagents, respectively. The different parameters that affect the color development between CPM drug and dyestuff reagents were extensively studied to determine the optimal conditions for the assay procedure. The reaction was studied as a function of the volume of reagents, nature of solvent, temperature, reaction time and stoichiometric ratio between the CPM drug and the reagents. Beer’s law was valid over the concentration ranges of 1-30, 1-10, 2-120 and 4-120 μg mL-1 of CPM drug using BCP, ARS, ECR and CR reagents, respectively. The Sandell sensitivity, molar absorptivity, limit of detection and limit of quantification were determined. Applications of the proposed procedure to the analysis of the pharmaceutical preparations, spiked humane urine and spiked blood serum gave reproducible and accurate results without any interference from excipients. The results obtained by the proposed method were in good agreement with those obtained by reported method. The method can be suggested for the routine analysis of the cited drug.

Abstract In the present paper, for the first time, the electrochemical behaviour of nicotine metabolite nicotine N-oxide (NNO) on static mercury dropping electrode (SMDE) and mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode (m-AgSAE) has been reported. Nicotine N-oxide is reduced forming one peak at the potential -0.78 V on SDME and -0.86 V on m-AgSAE in Britton-Robinson buffer medium at pH 4.5 using cyclic voltammetry (CV). One electron and one proton take part in the reaction of NNO reduction. Calibration graphs for NNO determination using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) on SDME and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) on m-AgSAE were obtained. Limit of detection (LOD) is 0.13 μM on SDME, and 0.16 μM (SWV) and 0.29 μM (DPV) on m-AgSAE. Since NNO can be used as an analytical form for nicotine voltammetric determination, so the developed methods were applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical preparations, and the recoveries from 97.3 to 104.6 % were achieved. Also, the elaborated methods were used in the analysis of biological fluids, and tobacco products. The obtained results were compared to those indicated in the certificates of drugs analysis, and to the results, obtained by reference methods (HPLC and GC).

Solid-contact ion-selective electrodes for histamine (HA) determination were fabricated and studied. Gold wire (0.5 mm diameter) was coated with poly(3,4-ethlenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as a solid conductive layer. The polyvinyl chloride matrix embedded with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl(porphyrinato)iron(iii) chloride as an ionophore, 2-nitrophenyloctyl ether as a plasticizer and potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl) borate as an ion exchanger was used to cover the PEDOT:PSS layer as a selective membrane. The characteristics of the HA electrodes were also investigated. The detection limit of 8.58 × 10−6 M, the fast response time of less than 5 s, the good reproducibility, the long-term stability and the selectivity in the presence of common interferences in biological fluids were satisfactory. The electrode also performed stably in the pH range of 7–8 and the temperature range of 35–41 °C. Additionally, the recovery rate of 99.7% in artificial cerebrospinal fluid showed the potential for the electrode to be used in biological applications.
