Abstract
An amperometric sensor, based on carbon paste impregnated with iron (II) phthalocyanine complex (FePc), has been constructed for the assay of anti‐HIV agent dideoxyinosine (didanosine, DDI). Using chronoamperometry (E = +1.04 V versus Ag/AgCl) technique, the amperometric sensor can be used reliably for dideoxyinosine assay at pH 7.4 phosphate buffer in the 1.5–9.5 nmol/L concentration range with a detection limit of 5.7 × 10−10 mol/L. The surface of the electrode can easily be regenerated by simple polishing, obtaining a fresh surface ready for use in a new assay. The new amperometric sensor proved to be highly reliable for the assay of dideoxyinosine purity in raw material as well as for the uniformity content test of Videx® tablets.
