Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a simple, reliable voltammetric method and its validation for determination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DFC). Methods: The proposed method was based on electro-oxidation of DFC at poly (erichrome black T) modified glassy carbon electrode (PEBT/GCE) in 0.2 M phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.0. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetric techniques were employed to study electro-oxidation behavior. Under the optimal conditions, variations of EBT concentration, effect of pH, scan rate on the oxidation of DFC was studied. Results: A well-defined oxidation peak at about +0.59 V vs. standard calomel electrode was observed for voltammetric detection of DFC. pH effect shows the participation of an equal number of protons and electrons in the mechanism. The relation between a logarithm of peak current with the logarithm of scan rate indicated adsorption controlled behavior of electrode process. Concentration variations show a good linear response in the range 0.05 µM to 40 µM with the detection limit of 5.25 × 10-8 M. Conclusion: The prepared sensor exhibited good selectivity, sensitivity, and stability for the detection of DFC in the pharmaceutical dosage form and real samples. The developed method could possibly be adopted for pharmacokinetic studies and also in clinical and quality control laboratories where time and economy were important.

Objectives: The study has been carried to investigate the electro-oxidation mechanism and to develop a selective and sensitive method for determination of ketorolac (KTL), a non-opioid analgesic drug,.Methods: A simple electro analytical method was used for the determination of ketorolac (KTL) using glassy carbon electrode by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetric techniques (DPV). The effect of various experimental parameters such as accumulation time, pH, scan rate, on the voltammetric responses of KTL was evaluated.Results: In the optimized conditions, variation of peak current with respect to concentration was studied and the calibration curve of the peak current vs. KTL concentration was drawn with a linear range of 10- 350 μM with an excellent detection limit of 8.08×10-8 M. This method was successfully tested for the determination of KTL in pharmaceuticals and human urine samples.Conclusion: From the results, it was observed that, the selected method is rapid, sensitive and low cost.
