    Electrochemical performance of boron-doped diamond electrode in surfactant-containing media for ambroxol determination
    (Elsevier, 2014-07-17) Levent, Abdulkadir; Yardım, Yavuz; Şentürk, Zühre
    A novel application of boron-doped diamond electrode is introduced for the determination of ambroxol, a potential antioxidant drug belonging to the expectorant class. The electrochemical oxidation of ambroxol was first investigated by cyclic voltammetry using boron-doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes in aqueous solutions both with and without the addition of surfactant. The compound was irreversibly oxidized in one/two steps at high positive potentials, resulting in the formation of a couple with a reduction and re-oxidation wave at less positive potentials. Special attention was given to the use of adsorptive stripping voltammetry at a surface of mildly oxidized boron-doped diamond electrode in aqueous solutions over the pH range of 1.0–10.0. Addition of anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylsulfate) to ambroxol-containing electrolyte enhanced the stripping current signal. Using square-wave stripping mode, the drug yielded a well-defined voltammetric response in phosphate buffer pH 2.5 containing 4 × 10−4 M sodium dodecylsulfate at +1.02 V (versus Ag/AgCl) (after 30 s accumulation at +0.50 V). The process could be used to determine ambroxol in the concentration range of 0.05–0.7 μM, with a detection limit of 0.010 μM (4.2 ng mL−1). The suggested method was successfully applied to pharmaceuticals and spiked human urine samples.

    Sensitive voltammetric determination of testosterone in pharmaceuticals and human urine using a glassy carbon electrode in the presence of cationic surfactant
    (Elsevier, 2014-05-10) Levent, Abdulkadir; Altun, Ahmet; Yardım, Yavuz; Şentürk, Zühre
    In this work, the electrochemical investigation of testosterone, a steroid hormone from the androgen group, was carried out in aqueous and aqueous/surfactant solutions using a glassy carbon (GC) electrode. In cyclic voltammetry, the compound showed one irreversible and adsorption-controlled reduction peak. Addition of cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) was found to enhance the reduction current signal of testosterone, whereas, anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS) and non-ionic (Tween 80) surfactants exhibited opposite effect. Using square-wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry, the current showed a linear dependence with concentration in the range between 10 and 70 nM in Britton–Robinson buffer, pH 5.0 containing 3 mM CTAB. A detection limit of 1.18 nM (0.34 ng mL−1), and relative standard deviation of 4.12% for a concentration level of 35 nM (n = 11) were calculated. This method was successfully applied for the analysis of testosterone in oil-based pharmaceutical preparations and urine samples without any separation.

    Graphene/Nafion composite film modified glassy carbon electrode for simultaneous determination of paracetamol, aspirin and caffeine in pharmaceutical formulations
    (ScienceDirect, 2016-05-16) Yiğit, Aydın; Yardım, Yavuz; Çelebi, Metin; Levent, Abdulkadir; Şentürk, Zühre
    A graphene-Nafion compositefilm was fabricated on the glassy carbon electrode (GR-NF/GCE), and usedfor simultaneous determination of paracetamol (PAR), aspirin (ASA) and caffeine (CAF). The electro-chemical behaviors of PAR, ASA and CAF were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and square-waveadsorptive anodic stripping voltammetry. By using stripping one for simultaneous determination of PAR,ASA and CAF, their electrochemical oxidation peaks appeared atþ0.64, 1.04 and 1.44 V, and good linearcurrent responses were obtained with the detection limits of 18 ng mL 1(1.2 10 9M), 11.7 ng mL 1(6.5 10 8M) and 7.3 ng mL 1(3.8 10 8M), respectively. Finally, the proposed electrochemical sensorwas successfully applied for quantifying PAR, ASA and CAF in commercial tablet formulations.

    Voltammetric behavior of benzo[a]pyrene at boron-doped diamond electrode: A study of its determination by adsorptive transfer stripping voltammetry based on the enhancement effect of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate
    (Elsevier, 2011-07-15) Yardım, Yavuz; Keskin, Ertuğrul; Levent, Abdulkadir; Şentürk, Zühre
    Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a member of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) class, is one of the most potent PAH carcinogens. The electrochemical oxidation of BaP was first studied by cyclic voltammetry at the boron-doped diamond electrode in non-aqueous solvent (dimethylsulphoxide with lithium perchlorate). The compound was irreversibly oxidized in a single step at high positive potential, resulting in the well-resolved formation of a couple with a reduction and re-oxidation wave at much lower potentials. Special attention was given to the use of adsorptive stripping voltammetry together with a medium exchange procedure in aqueous and aqueous/surfactant solutions over the pH range of 2.0–8.0. The technique in aqueous solutions had little value in practice because of too small oxidation peak current. This problem was solved when surfactants were added into the sample solution, by which the oxidation peak currents of BaP were found enhanced dramatically. The employed surfactants were sodium dodecylsulfate (anionic, SDS), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (cationic, CTAB) and Tween 80 (non-ionic). Using square-wave stripping mode, the compound yielded a well-defined voltammetric response in Britton–Robinson buffer, pH 2.0 containing 2.5 × 10−4 M SDS at +1.07 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) (after 120 s accumulation at +0.10 V). The process could be used to determine BaP in the concentration range of 16–200 nM (4.04–50.46 ng mL−1), with a detection limit of 2.86 nM (0.72 ng mL−1). This method was also applied to determine BaP in model water sample prepared by adding its different concentrations into tap water.

    Protective effect of Hypericum perforatum L. on serum and hair trace elements in rats 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced oxidative stress
    (Elsevier, 2012-02-08) Ekin, Suat; Yardım, Yavuz; Oto, Gökhan; Levent, Abdulkadir; Özgökçe, Fevzi; Kusman, Tuba
    The study was designed to assess the effect of Hypericum perforatum L. (H.P) on serum and hair trace elements and mineral levels, oral administration of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced oxidative stress in Sprague-Dawley female rats. Analysis of the trace element has been carried out using atomic absorption spectrophotometer method at end of 60th day. It has been found out that the DMBA group contained statistically lower Zn and Cr compared to the control group (p < 0.01) and (p < 0.05), Cu, Mg and Na contained higher than control group (p < 0.05), (p < 0.05) and (p < 0.05). In DMBA + H.P group, Zn higher and Na lower than DMBA group (p < 0.05), (p < 0.05), in hair samples Cd, K and Zn contained lower DMBA compared to the control group (p < 0.05), (p < 0.05) and (p < 0.05). In group DMBA + H.P, Cd was higher than DMBA group and Cr lowered accordance with control group (p < 0.05). The present study demonstrated significantly positive and beneficial effect of H.P on the concentration levels of Zn and Na in serum, also on Cd levels in hair between DMBA and DMBA + H.P groups.
