Anticancer drug Dacarbazine (DCB) has been used for the treatment for metastatic malignant melanoma. In our study, the biomolecular interaction between DCB and DNA was investigated electrochemically for the first time using single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) modified disposable pencil graphite electrode (PGEs). The SWCNT modified PGEs were optimized for advanced DNA sensing based on the response related to changes at the guanine oxidation signal. The oxidation signals of DCB and guanine were respectively measured before/after surface confined interaction process using differantial pulse voltammetry (DPV) in the same voltammetric scale. The experimental parameters, such as DCB concentration and interaction time of DCB with fsDNA were studied. The detection of interaction between DCB and nucleic acids was also studied via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and gel electrophoresis. In addition, the effect of time‐dependent manner from 1 min to 10 min on the interaction of DCB with nucleic acids was explored upon to the changes at guanine signal of fsDNA as well as PCR samples by DPV technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
