    Voltammetric behavior of testosterone on bismuth film electrode: Highly sensitive determination in pharmaceuticals and human urine by square‐wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry
    (Wiley Online Library, 2015-03-20) Levent, Abdulkadir; Altun, Ahmet; Taş, Süleyman; Yardım, Yavuz; Şentürk, Zühre
    In this paper, an electrochemical application of bismuth‐film electrode (BiFE) fabricated via ex‐situ electrodeposition onto a glassy carbon electrode for testosterone determination was investigated in aqueous and aqueous/surfactant solutions. In cyclic voltammetry, the compound showed one irreversible and adsorption‐controlled reduction peak. The BiFE revealed good linear response in the examined concentration range of 1 to 45 nmol L−1 testosterone in BrittonRobinson buffer, pH 5.0 containing 3 mmol L−1 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The limit of detection was 0.3 nmol L−1 (0.09 ng mL−1). Finally, the BiFE was satisfactorily applied for quantitation of testosterone in both pharmaceutical (oil‐based ampoule) and biological (human urine) samples.

    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.
