Abstract

The redox characteristics of the drug Bicalutamide at a glassy-carbon electrode (GCE) was investigated for the first time in aqueous media by differential-pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). In Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer of pH 2.0-10.0, an irreversible and diffusion-controlled reduction voltagram were developed. The dependence of the CV response of the developed cathodic peak on the sweep rate ( �) and on depolarizer concentration was typical electrode-coupled chemical reaction mechanism (EC) in which an irreversible reaction is interposed between the charges. In BR buffer of pH 6 - 7, a well defined cathodic peak was developed and the plot of peak current height of the DPV against Bicalutamide concentration at this peak potential was linear in the range 1×10 �8 - 2.6 ×10 �5 M with lower limits of detection (LOD) and quantization (LOQ) of 8 x 10 -8 M and 1 ×10 �7 M, with good selectivity and sensitivity. A relative standard deviation (RSD) for Bicalutamide at a concentration of 4.5×10 �5 M was 2.48% (n=6). The proposed method was successfully applied to Bicalutamide determination in pharmaceutical samples and results are very good correlations with previously reported methods.

Highlights

  • Cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-3-[(4-fluorophenyl) sulfonyl]-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propanamide, under the trade name of Casodex [1,2,3]

  • When CASODEX is combined with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue therapy, the suppression of serum testosterone induced by the LHRH analogue is not affected

  • 3.1 Electrochemical Behavior of Bicalutamide Preliminary studies on the electrochemical behavior of Bicalutamide in DMF with Tetra Butyl Ammonium per chlorate as supporting electrolyte at a Glassy Carbon electrode by use of Cyclic Voltammetry have shown that the drug has well defined Reduction and Oxidation peak developed in the potential range –2.0 V to +1.80V relative to SCE reference electrode
