A Facile Strategy for Construction of Sensor for Detection of Ondansetron and Investigation of its Redox Behavior and Thermodynamic Parameters

Novel potentiometric sensors for determination of ondansetron hydrochloride in pure and dosage form

A new and sensitive potentiometric method has been developed and characterized for four novel sensors responsive to ondansetron hydrochloride. The potentiometric sensor method includes advancement of ondansetron hydrochloride sensors using a membrane comprised of molybdophosphoric acid (MPA) and ondansetron as an electro-active material in a polyvinylchloride (PVC) matrix membrane plasticized with di-butyl phthalate (DBPH), ortho-nitrophenyloctyl ether (O-NPOE), di-octyl phthalate (DOPH), or di-butyl phosphate (DBP). The validity of sensors in the present work has been examined, and steady and reproducible responses were obtained over the concentration ranges of 7.3 × 10⁻⁵ to 1.0 × 10⁻², 6.6 × 10⁻⁶ to 1.0 × 10⁻², 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ to 1.0 × 10⁻², and 2.0 × 10⁻⁵ to 1.0 × 10⁻² M for DBPH-, O-NPOE-, DOPH-, and DBP-ondansetron, respectively. The sensors revealed Nernstian gradients of 59.61 ± 0.50, 57.71 ± 0.23, 53.01 ± 0.14, and 53.20 ± 0.35 mV per decade individually with pH ranges of 2.5–5.5 in DBPH and 3.5–5.0 in O-NPOE electrodes, and 4.0–5.5 for both individual DOPH and DBP plasticized film-based sensors. The time responses for the sensors were 30, 32, 31, and 29 s for DBPH-, O-NPOE-, DOPH-, and DBP-ondansetron, respectively. The developed sensors also exhibited high selectivity towards ondansetron hydrochloride against different interfering species of inorganic particles with long-term stability of approximately 41, 36, 18, and multiple days for the DBPH, O-NPOE, DOPH, and DBP electrodes.

A Review on Impedimetric and Voltammetric Analysis Based on Polypyrrole Conducting Polymers for Electrochemical Sensing Applications

Conducting polymers have been widely used in electrochemical sensors as receptors of the sensing signal's analytes and transducers. Polypyrrole (PPy) conducting polymers are highlighted due to their good electrical conductive properties, ease in preparation, and flexibility of surface characteristics. The objective of this review paper is to discuss the theoretical background of the two main types of electrochemical detection: impedimetric and voltammetric analysis. It also reviews the application and results obtained from these two electrochemical detections when utilizing PPy as a based sensing material in electrochemical sensor. Finally, related aspects in electrochemical sensor construction using PPy will also be discussed. It is anticipated that this review will provide researchers, especially those without an electrochemical analysis background, with an easy-to-understand summary of the concepts and technologies used in electrochemical sensor research, particularly those interested in utilizing PPy as a based sensing material.
