    Electrochemical analysis of tetracycline in drug formulations with glutardialdehyde-Fe2O3 modified glassy carbon electrode

    Koçak, Berna; İpek, Yeliz

    In this study, a glutardialdehyde-Fe2O3 modified glassy carbon electrode (GA2–Fe2O3/GCE) was used as a sensor for the electrochemical analysis of tetracycline (TC) in drug formulations. The electrochemical behavior of TC on GA2-Fe2O3/GCE was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), while the quantitative determination was performed via differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). After optimizing the experimental conditions, the linear working range, limit of (LOD) detection, and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the GA2-Fe2O3/GCE electrode developed for the electrochemical analysis of TC were found to be 1.0 × 10−6–2.0 × 10−5 M and 2.0 × 10−5–9.9 × 10−6 M; 4.78 × 10−7 M; 1.59 × 10−6 M, respectively. In the sensor application study conducted on a Tetra® Gensenta tablet to demonstrate the applicability of the developed method, the linear working range, LOD, and LOQ values of the sensor were found to be 1.0 × 10−6–14.8 × 10−5 M; 5.72 × 10−7 M and 1.74 × 10−6 M, respectively. The applicability of the method was demonstrated through tablet recovery studies, and the tablet recovery ratio was determined to be 100.94%.

    Novel electrochemical sensor of nebivolol drug used for treatment of hypertension and chronic heart failure

    İpek, Yeliz; Koçak, Berna

    Nebivolol is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Nebivolol is a cardiovascular drug in the group of selective beta-blockers (with selective action on the cardiovascular system). It prevents the increase in heart rate and controls the pumping power of the heart. It also has a dilating effect on blood vessels and helps to lower blood pressure with this effect. The ability to analyze nebivolol quickly, simply, economically and reliably is of high importance in two cases. The first is to adjust the drug dosage to be used by the patients, and the second is to provide fast intervention in the drug production process as a result of fast and accurate quality control in drug production and to provide quality control of produced tablets. Since, the boric acid has a good catalytic activity and enhances the peak current intensity, a boric acid‒glutardialdehyde-modified glassy carbon electrode was designed for investigation of electrochemical behavior and quantitative determination of nebivolol (NBV) in this study. Electrochemical reaction peak and the peak current intensity changes with changing NBV concentration provide detection of NBV. The role of glutardialdehyde was to immobilize the boric acid on the electrode surface with its crosslinking ability. The designed electrode was achieved by dropping boric acid‒glutardialdehyde mixture on glassy carbon electrode and drying it at room conditions. By using boric acid‒glutardialdehyde-modified glassy carbon electrode (BA‒GA2/GCE), quantitative analysis of the active drug ingredient (NBV), which is widely used in the treatment of hypertension and chronic heart failure, was carried out sensitively, selectively and at low detection limits with low cost. This electrode exhibited good repeatability and stability for detection of the oxidation peak of NBV. In addition, the working ranges and detection limits of NBV were determined in the optimum experimental conditions. SWV technique was used and according to the results obtained, LOD values for NBV in BR buffer (pH 9) and in urine samples were 1.0 × 10−7 mol L−1 and 4.12 × 10−7 mol L−1, respectively. The feasibility of the developed novel sensor was demonstrated by performing recovery studies with tablet and urine samples containing NBV. The recovery results were 93.10% and 58.16% for urine and tablet samples, respectively. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

    Electrochemical Detection of Ivermectin Used for the Treatment of COVID-19 with Glutardialdehyde-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

    Koçak, Berna; İpek, Yeliz

    In this study, the surface of the glassy carbon electrode was modified with glutardialdehyde. The modified glassy carbon electrode showed electrocatalytic activity against ivermectin. The glassy carbon electrode modified with glutardialdehyde showed high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability in the determination of ivermectin. The peak current of glutardialdehyde oxidation obtained by differential pulse voltammetry decreased inversely with the ivermectin concentration. Ivermectin inhibited the oxidation reaction of glutardialdehyde and caused a decrease in current. This change made the analysis of ivermectin electrochemically possible. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the developed method in real samples, recovery studies were carried out in tap water and urine. The highest sensitivity (0.45 µA/((µmol·L−1)(cm2))) was achieved with urine sample and the lowest detection limit as 2.66 × 10−6 mol·L−1 was obtained with BRT solution sample.
