Glassy carbon electrode modified with electrodeposited nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiOxNPs) was used as electrocatalyst for oxidation of omeprazole and pentoperazole in alkaline solution. The modified electrode exhibited efficient electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of omeprazole and pentoperazole with relatively high sensitivity, excellent stability, and long lifetime. Hydrodynamic amperometric method is used for determination of selected analytes. Under optimized condition, the linear concentration range, detection limit, and sensitivity of modified electrode toward omeprazole detection are 4.5-120 μM, 0.4 μM (at signal to noise 3), and 40.1 nA μM −1 cm −2 , respectively. For pantoperazole, hydrodynamic amperometric determination yielded calibration curve with linear range of 2.5-180 μM, detection limit of 0.2 μM, and sensitivity of 39.2 nA μM −1 cm −2 , respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to pentoperazole and omeprazole determination in drug samples.
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.
