A fast and sensitive voltammetric method has been proposed for the determination of salbutamol at single-walled-carbon-nanotube-modified edge-plane pyrolytic graphite electrode (SWNT/EPPGE) in human urine. The electrochemical response of salbutamol was determined by square wave voltammetry (SWV) in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at physiological pH 7.2. The modified electrode showed improved voltammetric response towards the oxidation of salbutamol, and a well-defined anodic peak was observed at~600 mV with enhanced peak current in comparison to the bare electrode. Linear calibration plot using SWNT/EPPGE was obtained in the concentration range of 50 to 2500 ngml-1with sensitivity and detection limit of 2.15 nA/ngml-1and 4.31 ngml-1, respectively. The developed method has been successfully applied for the determination of salbutamol in commercial preparations and human body fluids. Fast analysis of salbutamol in human urine makes the proposed method of great interest for doping control purposes at the site of competitive games.

In this study, the electrochemical determination of Ivabradine hydrochloride (IH) was studied in detail using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with mesoporous carbon solution (MCS) and carboxylated group linked single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT-COOH). The developed nanosensor showed a significant effect by remarkably increasing the IH signal compared with the bare GCE. Cyclic (CV) and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) methods were applied to perform electrochemical analysis of IH in pH 3.0 BRB solutions. The calibration plot for IH with a detection limit of 1.47 × 10−7 M was obtained using the DPV technique in the range of 1–10 µM under optimum experimental conditions. The proposed method has been validated and applied for the detection of the IH tablet. The produced nanosensor was also performed for the determination of IH in serum and urine. Excellent recoveries of 98.4%, 98.0%, and 100.2% were achieved for tablet, serum, and urine analysis, respectively.
