Electrochemical oxidation of amoxicillin in its pharmaceutical formulation at boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode

Abstract

In this work, voltammetric and electrolysis experiments have been carried out on a conductive boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode in a solution containing amoxicillin in its pharmaceutical

Electrochemical oxidation and electroanalysis of paracetamol on a boron-doped diamond anode material in aqueous electrolytes

“…The anodic and cathodic peaks correspond to the oxidation and reduction of the redox couple considered. The peaks observed are typical for electrodes that are good electronic conductors [24,31,32]. (Figure 1(b)).…”

“…According to the literature, the electrochemical method has shown its effectiveness in the treatment of wastewater containing organic pollutants [20][21][22]. The effectiveness of the electrochemical treatment depends strongly on the properties of electrode used as the anode in the case of electrolysis [10,23,24]. In this work, the boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode is used.…”

“…BDD has remarkable optical, electronic, and mechanical qualities, thus showing a great aptitude for various applications in different fields. According to literature, BDD can allow complete mineralization of organic compounds [21,24].…”

Cyclic Voltammetry and Its Applications

“…CV has been proved to be helpful in characterizing xanthone, a bioactive compound, revealing that catechol is the key moiety to make it an effective scavenger for reactive species [2]. CV in methanol of antibiotic named amoxicillin revealed quasi reversible behavior and the change of redox potential upon the interactions with both metal ions and amino acids, which helps guiding in prescribing the medicine that they should not to be used together with the antibiotic [3][4][5]. Electrochemical behavior of ibuprofen and its degradation could be monitored closely by CV and found to be different for various types of electrode; for example, adsorption was observed on silver composite electrode, providing the insights into selecting the suitable electrode for removing this pollutant [6].…”

Graphene-modified nickel foam electrode for cathodic degradation of nitrofuranzone: Kinetics, transformation products and toxicity

“…Antibiotics discharged into the environments (e.g., soil and aquatic ecosystems) could increase antibiotic resistance of ecosystems [1][2][3][4][5], bringing about potential threats to aquatic life and even human health. Nitrofuranzone (NFZ) as a low-cost and high-efficiency broad spectrum of antimicrobial agents of nitrofurans is widely used for the treatment of gastrointestinal and dermatological infections in animal husbandry and aquaculture [6].…”
