The simultaneous voltammetric determination of melatonin (MT) and pyridoxine (PY) has been carried out at a cathodically pretreated boron‐doped diamond electrode. By using cyclic voltammetry, a separation of the oxidation peak potentials of both compounds present in mixture was about 0.47 V in Britton‐Robinson buffer, pH 2. The results obtained by square‐wave voltammetry allowed a method to be developed for determination of MT and PY simultaneously in the ranges 1–100 μg mL−1 (4.3×10−6–4.3×10−4 mol L−1) and 10–175 μg mL−1 (4.9×10−5–8.5×10−4 mol L−1), with detection limits of 0.14 μg mL−1 (6.0×10−7 mol L−1) and 1.35 μg mL−1 (6.6×10−6 mol L−1), respectively. The proposed method was successfully to the dietary supplements samples containing these compounds for health‐caring purposes.
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.
