Edge plane pyrolytic graphite as a sensing surface for the determination of fluvoxamine in urine samples of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients

There is an increasing demand for fast and sensitive determination of antidepressants in human body fluids because of the present scenario of rising depression cases at the global level. A simple and sensitive voltammetric method using edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode (EPPGE) as a novel sensor is presented for the determination of antidepressant fluvoxamine in urine and blood plasma samples of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients. EPPGE is delineated the first time for this determination. EPPGE exhibited strong electrocatalytic activity and enhanced reduction signal towards the sensing of fluvoxamine. Fluvoxamine gave a well-defined reduction peak at ~ - 670 mV using EPPGE. The fluvoxamine reduction peak current was linear to its concentration in the range 5.00 × 10^-9 - 0.1 × 10^-6 mol L^-1 and the limit of detection was found to be 3.5 × 10^-9 mol L^-1. The pre-eminence of EPPGE over mercury electrodes has been proved in terms of sensitivity and imperative analytical parameters. The pH study reveals the involvement of an equal number of electrons and protons in the reduction reaction mechanism. The frequency study indicated the adsorption controlled irreversible reaction mechanism. The stability and reproducibility of the offered sensor were also found most favorable. The interference study confirmed the optimum selectivity of the proposed sensor. The edge plane pyrolytic graphite sensing platform is recommended as a potential contender for the accurate and fast determination of fluvoxamine in depression medications as well as biological specimens of OCD patients.

Cost-Effective Potentiometric Platforms Modified with Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Based on Imprinted Receptors for Fluvoxamine Assessment

A simple, efficient and reliable analytical method was developed and used for the determination of the fluvoxamine drug (FLV) in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids. The method is based on the cost-effective screen-printed platform for the potential transduction of the drug. Host-tailored molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) was integrated with the potentiometric platform as a recognition receptor, in which FLV, acrylamide (AAm), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and acetonitrile were used as a template, functional monomer, cross-linker, and solvent, respectively. MIP particles were dispersed in plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and the membrane was drop-casted on carbon screen-printed electrode. The MIP, in addition to non-imprinted polymers (NIP), was characterized and the binding experiment revealed high affinity and adsorption capacity of MIP towards FLV. The proposed sensor displayed near-Nernstian cationic slope of 55.0 ± 0.8 mV/decade (r² = 0.999) with a low detection limit of 4.8 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L over a wide pH range (3.0–8.5). The electrochemical features of the proposed sensors including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronopotentiometry measurements (CP) in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a solid contact transducer were also investigated. The applications of the proposed sensor for the determination of FLV in different dosage forms with recovery values (98.8%–101.9%) and (97.4%–101.1%), respectively compared with the reference HPLC method with acceptedFandt-student tests values at the 95% confidence level.

Determination of fluvoxamine maleate in human urine and human serum using alkaline KMnO4 -rhodamine B chemiluminescence

The flow-injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) behavior of a gold nanocluster (Au NC)-enhanced rhodamine B-KMnO₄ system was studied under alkaline conditions for the first time. In the present study, the as-prepared bovine serum albumin-stabilized Au NCs showed excellent stability and reproducibility. The addition of trace levels of fluvoxamine maleate (Flu) led to an obvious decline in CL intensity in the rhodamine B-KMnO₄ -Au NCs system, which could be used for quantitative detection of Flu. Under optimized conditions, the proposed CL system exhibited a favorable analytical performance for Flu determination in the range 2 to 100 μg ml^-1 . The detection limit for Flu measurement was 0.021 μg ml^-1 . Moreover, this newly developed system revealed outstanding selectivity for Flu detection when compared with a multitude of other species, such as the usual ions, uric acid and a section of hydroxy compounds. Additionally, CL spectra, UV-visible spectroscopes and fluorescence spectra were measured in order to determine the possible reaction mechanism. This approach could be used to detect Flu in human urine and human serum samples with the desired recoveries and could have promising application under physiological conditions.
