Abstract:
In this present paper, a simple voltammetric method has been reported for the simultaneous determination of acetaminophen (AC), pramipexole (PRX) and carbamazepine (CBZ) using ZSM-5 nanozeolite-TiO2 nanoparticles composite modified carbon paste electrode (ZSM-5/TiO2/CPE). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm were used to characterize the structure of synthesized ZSM-5 nanozeolite. Also, cyclic voltammetry (CV), choronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to investigate the performance of the modified electrode. The oxidation peak currents of AC, PRX and CBZ at the surface of ZSM-5/TiO2/CPE were increased dramatically against CPE and their overpotentials decreased. Also, DPV method was used for the simultaneous determination of three drugs in ternary mixture. The effects of modifier amount, pH and scan rate were investigated on the electrochemical response of AC, PRX and CBZ oxidation. The diffusion coefficient, D, and the catalytic rate constant, kcat, were estimated for the oxidation of AC, PRX and CBZ at the surface of modified electrode. Under the optimized experimental conditions, AC, PRX and CBZ give linear response over the range of 2.5-110, 0.6-105 and 6.0-97 μM, respectively. The detection limits were found to be 0.58, 0.38 and 1.04 μM (S/N = 3) for AC, PRX and CBZ, respectively. The fabricated electrode showed good stability, reproducibility and repeatability as well as high recovery. The practical application of the modified electrode was demonstrated by measuring the concentration of spiked AC, PRX and CBZ in human plasma as real sample. The proposed method is simple, rapid and inexpensive and can be utilized as a valuable analytical tool in quality control of the pharmaceutical industry.
