Hence, these reactive species involve in the inflammation. This contradictory effect of oxygen necessitated the development of an antioxidant such as Glutathione (Glu.) to protect cell against oxidation by scavenging and inhibiting the action of free radicals. This research studied the electrochemical behavior of Glu. as antioxidant, Mobic as non-sterodial anti-inflammatory drugs( NSAIDs) and their interaction using square wave voltammetry technique (SWV) on the hanging mercury dropping electrode (HMDE) as working electrode, Pt-wire as an auxiliary electrode and Ag/AgCl in Sat.

While, Mobic showed Under the same default Condition a reduction peak at ( -1.15 V). Optimum condition were investigated such as pH, start and end potential, deposition potential, deposition time, equilibrium time, voltage step, amplitude, frequency, the size of the mercury drop and sweep rate. As well, the interaction between the Glu. and Mobic was evaluated by utilizing the calculation of binding constant.

Study of electrochemical behavior of two chemically similar acridines: Tacrine and 9-aminoacridine on hanging mercury drop electrode

ABSTRACT. The electrochemical behavior of two chemically related acridine compounds: tacrine (TAC) and 9-aminoacridine (9-AA) was investigated on a hanging mercury drop electrode (HDME). The electrochemical study was carried out by using Osteryoung square wave voltammetry (OSWV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques in the Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution at pH = 2.0–12.0, KCl (0.1/0.2/0.3 M) and methanol (0.0-50%) mixture as supporting electrolyte. TAC showed maximum current at pH 7.5 while 9-AA at pH 10, KCl (0.3M), and 10% methanol. The study of electrochemical reduction of 9-AA and TAC on the HDME by using CV resulted in a quasi-reversibility, mainly diffusion-controlled reaction. The reaction involved 1e–/1H+ reduction at nitrogen atom in the case of the 9-AA while the second process involved the 2e–/2H+ reduction of the intra-cyclic azomethine group. The reduction peak potential of structurally related acridine compounds is influenced by the pH values and percentage of the organic solvent of the supporting electrolytes. Also, the study may provide insight into the electron transfer pathways of biological reactions of the acridines and their electrochemical behavior on the electrode.

Escitalopram oxalate (ESC-OX) is among the most currently used antidepressant drugs. This study aimed to determine ESC-OX in human urine and different pharmaceutical dosage forms via the electrochemical method. The electrochemical behavior of ESC-OX was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques at hanging mercury dropping electrode (HMDE). The maximum reduction potential was determined to be − 0.55 and − 0.57 V at pH 6.5 in a cell containing 5% (v/v) methanol and 0.3 M KCl. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration curve of the cathodic peak current versus the concentration was linear in the range of 4.143–29.0 µg mL−1. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 1.15 µg mL−1 and 1.31 µg mL−1, 3.490 µg mL−1 and 3.97 µg mL−1 for pharmaceutical and urine samples, respectively. The investigation of electrochemical reduction of ESC-OX on the HDME by using CV resulted in a quasi-reversibility, mainly diffusion-controlled reaction that involves a four-electron reduction of the nitrile group. For analytical purposes, a stable and well-defined peak was obtained in DPV mode. The average accuracy was found to be 101.60% ± 0.48 and 99.72% ± 5.64 for pharmaceutical and urine samples, respectively. Moreover, the developed method was precise with RSD % below 2% for both samples. The validation of the developed method was carried out as stated in the ICH Q2(R) 1 guideline. The proposed technique was effectively utilized for the determination of ESC-OX in different pharmaceutical formulations and urine samples. Neither excipients nor endogenous substances have electroactive interferences.

The current works extend the utility of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone reagent (HTTA) towards the least explored antimony (III & V) ions in complex matrices. The redox characteristics and the excellent surface coverage (Γ) of the electroactive antimony (III)-HTTA chelate onto the hanging mercury dropping electrode suggested establishing a differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetric (DP–CSV) analysis for chemical speciation of antimony (III & V) in environmental water samples. Under the optimized conditions of pH, deposition time, potential, sweep rate, and HTTA concentration, the cathodic peak current at − 0.18 V linearly increased on growing antimony (III) concentration in a wide working range from 2.46 × 10−9 to 1.07 × 10−7 mol L−1, with an obtained detection and quantification limits 7.38 × 10−10 and 2.46 × 10−9 mol L−1, respectively. The figure of merits were compared successfully with some reported electrochemical, chromatographic, and spectrochemical methods. The established DP–CSV method has a unique advantages (rapid response, short analytical time, sensitive, selective, and reproducible) to be quantitatively applied for trace analysis of antimony (III & V) species in fresh and marine water (the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea) samples. The settled method was also validated (Student’s t and F tests at P = 0.05) by comparison with the official inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method.

Application of differential pulse stripping voltammetry and chemometrics for the determination of three antibiotic drugs in food samples

Abstract A reliable method for simultaneous determination of three antibiotic drugs (levofloxacin, gatifloxacin and lomefloxacin) by differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) in Britton–Robinson buffer (pH 7.96) was presented. The method is based on adsorptive accumulation of the antibacterial drugs on a hanging mercury dropping electrode (HMDE), followed by the reduction of the adsorptive species by the technique of DPSV. Optimal conditions, the deposition time of 80 s, the deposition potential of −1250 mV, and the scan rate of 25 mV/s, were obtained. The linear concentration ranges of 0.010–0.080 μg/mL were obtained for all these three antibiotic drugs, while the detection limits were 2.38, 3.20 and 1.60 ng/mL for levofloxacin, gatifloxacin and lomefloxacin, respectively. In this work, chemometrics methods, such as classical least squares (CLS), partial least squares (PLS), principle component regression (PCR) and radial basis function-artificial neural networks (RBF-ANN), were used to quantitatively resolve the overlapping signals. It was found that PCR gave the best results with total relative prediction error (RPE T ) of 7.71%. The proposed method was applied to determine these three drugs in several commercial food samples with spiked method and yielded satisfactory recoveries.

Voltammetry of irbesartan drug in pharmaceutical formulations and human blood: quantification and pharmacokinetic studies

Cyclic voltammograms of irbesartan at the hanging mercury dropping electrode in the Britton-Robinson buffer of pH values lower than 4.5 exhibited a single 2-electron irreversible cathodic peak corresponding to the reduction-saturation of the C=N double bond of its tetrazolyl moiety. Over the pH range 4.5-5.5, the voltammograms exhibited two irreversible cathodic peaks (1st and 2nd peaks) of lower peak current but of relatively equal heights which were attributed to reduction of the C=N group of the acidic and basic forms of irbesartan, respectively. A validated square-wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetric method was developed for quantification of irbesartan in the bulk form. The developed stripping voltammetric method was successfully applied for quantitation of irbesartan in pharmaceutical formulations and spiked human serum, without the necessity for samples pretreatment and/or time-consuming extraction steps prior to the analysis. Insignificant interferences from its active ingredient "hydrochlorothiazide", excipients, common metal ions and co-administrated drugs were obtained during the analysis. Limits of detection of 9.0x10-10 and 2.1x10-9 mol L-1 and limits of quantitation of 3.0x10-9 and 7.0x10-9 mol L-1 irbesartan in the bulk form and in spiked human serum were achieved, respectively, by the developed stripping voltammetric method. Moreover, pharmacokinetic parameters of irbesartan in plasma of healthy volunteers following an oral administration of a single dose of Aprovel® tablets were also estimated.
