Chlorpromazine was used as a homogeneous electrocatalyst in the oxidation of captopril. The anodic peak current of chlorpromazine was increased substantially in the presence of low concentrations of captopril (pH 4). Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to study the kinetics of the catalytic electron transfer reaction. The values of electron transfer coefficient (α) and catalytic rate constant (k cat ) were estimated to be 0.34 and 8.48 × 10 2 M −1 sec −1 , respectively. Linear sweep voltammetry was used for the determination of captopril in the presence of chlorpromazine. A linear calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range of captopril of 10.0-300.0 μM, with a limit of detection of 3.65 μM. The relative standard deviation (RSD%) for 5 replicate measurements of captopril (100 μM) was 1.96%. The method was applied to the determination of captopril in pharmaceutical formulations and blood serum samples with satisfactory results

Voltammetric Determination of Captopril Using Chlorpromazine as a Homogeneous Mediator

Chlorpromazine was used as a homogeneous electrocatalyst in the oxidation of captopril. The anodic peak current of chlorpromazine was increased substantially in the presence of low concentrations of captopril (pH 4). Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to study the kinetics of the catalytic electron transfer reaction. The values of electron transfer coefficient () and catalytic rate constant (cat) were estimated to be 0.34 and 8.48×102M−1sec−1, respectively. Linear sweep voltammetry was used for the determination of captopril in the presence of chlorpromazine. A linear calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range of captopril of 10.0–300.0 μM, with a limit of detection of 3.65 μM. The relative standard deviation (RSD%) for 5 replicate measurements of captopril (100 μM) was 1.96%. The method was applied to the determination of captopril in pharmaceutical formulations and blood serum samples with satisfactory results

Graphene Paste Electrode: Analytical Applications for the Quantification of Dopamine, Phenolic Compounds and Ethanol

This work reports the analytical applications ofa graphene paste electrode (GrPE) for the quantificationof dopamine, ethanol and phenolic compounds. Dopa-mine was detected by differential pulse voltammetry-ad-sorptive stripping with medium exchange at submicromo-lar levels even in the presence of high excess of ascorbicacid and serotonin. The electrocatalytic activity of graphene towards the oxidation of NADH and the reductionof quinones allowed the sensitive amperometric determi-nation of ethanol and phenols using GrPE modified withalcohol dehydrogenase/NAD+or polyphenol oxidase, re-spectively, with successful applications in real sampleslike alcoholic beverages and tea.Fil: Gutierrez, Fabiana Andrea.
