In this study, a simple and reliable square wave voltammetric (SWV) method was developed and validated for determination of diclofenac in pharmaceutical preparations and human serum. The proposed method was based on electrooxidation of diclofenac at platinum electrode in 0.1 M TBAClO4/acetonitrile solution. The well-defined two oxidation peaks were observed at 0.87 and 1.27 V, respectively. Cal...

Electrochemically induced protein dimerization often happens when two electrochemically generated radicals or other charged species come into intimate contact. In such an event, dimers might be created due to hydrogen bonding because of interactions uncoupled free electrons in both proteins. The process is triggered by the applied potential difference that affects amount monomeric species. case...

Square wave voltammetry is used in this work to detect human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) by using the oxidized signal of the tyrosine residue in hIAPP. A detection limit of 1×10-6 M for hIAPP has been obtained. A kinetic study of the aggregation process has been carried out according to the relationship between the anodic peak current in the square wave voltammograms of hIAPP and the incu...

The theoretical treatment of square wave anodic stripping voltammetry at a mercury film electrode Is presented. Numerlcal calculations, using the step method, show that the dlfferentlal current voltammograms are symmetrical and the peak potentlal, E,, shlfts to more negaflve potentials (anEd8 log A = 59.2 mV) with decreasing film thickness parameter A = / / ( D R ~ ) " * . For A < 0.3, peak cur...

A theoretical model of a surface electrode reaction coupled with a preceding chemical reaction (surface CE electrode mechanism) is theoretically studied under conditions of square-wave voltammetry. The position and the shape of the theoretical voltammograms are function of the redox kinetic parameter k 1⁄4 ks f where ks is the standard electron exchange rate constant and f is the frequency of t...

A validated simple, rapid, sensitive and specific square-wave voltammetric technique is described for the determination of acebutolol (AC) following its accumulation onto a hanging mercury drop electrode in a Britton-Robinson universal buffer of pH 7.5. The optimal procedural conditions were: accumulation potential Eacc = - 0.8 V versus Ag/AgCl/KCl, accumulation duration tacc = 30 s, pulse-ampl...

The electrochemical reduction of the antidepressant drug fluoxetine was investigated by cyclic, linear sweep, differential pulse and square wave voltammetry using a hanging mercury drop electrode in alkaline buffer solution in water and in a water/acetonitrile mixed solvent. Cyclic voltammograms in aqueous solution showed very strong adsorption of fluoxetine on the electrode with formation of a...

A simple and rapid electrochemical method for the determination of atorvastatin in pharmaceutical preparations was developed. The anodic peak at 1.07 V obtained in a buffer on glassy carbon electrode was used for analysis. The peak current and peak potential depends on pH, scan rate and initial potential. Decrease of the anodic peak with increasing pH, as well as deviations from linear plots of...
