Synergistic effect of gold nanoparticles anchored on conductive carbon black as an efficient electrochemical sensor for sensitive detection of anti-COVID-19 drug Favipiravir in absence and presence of co-administered drug Paracetamol. Microchem J 2023; 190:108696. [PMID: 37034437 PMCID: PMC10065810 DOI: 10.1016/j.microc.2023.108696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
Favipiravir (FVP) is introduced as a promising newly developed antiviral drug against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, the accurate determination of FVP is of great significance for quality assessment and clinical diagnosis. Herein, a novel electrochemical sensing platform for FVP based on gold nanoparticles anchored conductive carbon black (Au@CCB) modified graphite nanopowder flakes paste electrode (GNFPE) was constructed. Morphological and nanostructure properties of Au@CCB have been investigated by TEM, HRTEM, and EDX methods. The morphology and electrochemical properties of Au@CCB/GNFPE were characterized by SEM, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and EIS. The Au@CCB nanostructured modified GNFPE exhibited strong electro-catalytic ability towards the oxidation of FVP. The performance of the fabricated Au@CCB/GNFPE was examined by monitoring FVP concentrations in the absence and presence of co-administered drug paracetamol (PCT) by AdS-SWV. It was demonstrated that the proposed sensor exhibited superior sensitivity, stability, and anti-interference capability for the detection of FVP. The simultaneous determination of a binary mixture containing FVP and the co-administered drug PCT using Au@CCB/GNFPE sensor is reported for the first time. Under optimized conditions, the developed sensor exhibited sensitive voltammetric responses to FVP and PCT with low detection limits of 7.5 nM and 4.3 nM, respectively. The sensing electrode was successfully used to determine FVP and PCT simultaneously in spiked human plasma and pharmaceutical preparations, and the findings were satisfactory. Finally, the fabricated sensor exhibited high sensitivity for simultaneous detection of FVP and PCT in the presence of ascorbic acid in a real sample.

Abstract
The surging growth of the pharmaceutical industry is a result of the rapidly increasing human population, which has inevitably led to new biomedical and environmental issues. Aside from the quality control of pharmaceutical production and drug delivery, there is an urgent need for precise, sensitive, portable, and cost-effective technologies to track patient overdosing and to monitor ambient water sources and wastewater for pharmaceutical pollutants. The development of advanced nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors for the detection of pharmaceutical compounds has garnered immense attention due to their advantages, such as high sensitivity and selectivity, real-time monitoring, and ease of use. This review article surveys state-of-the-art nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors for the detection and quantification of six classes of significant pharmaceutical compounds, including anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-cancer drugs. Important factors such as sensor/analyte interactions, design rationale, fabrication, characterization, sensitivity, and selectivity are discussed. Strategies for the development of high-performance electrochemical sensors and biosensors tailored toward specific pharmaceuticals are highlighted to provide readers and scientists with an extensive toolbox for the detection of a wide range of pharmaceuticals. Our aims are two-fold: (i) to inspire readers by further elucidating the properties and functionalities of existing nanomaterials for the detection of pharmaceuticals; and (ii) to provide examples of the potential opportunities that these devices have for the advanced sensing of pharmaceutical compounds toward safeguarding human health and ecosystems on a global scale.

Abstract
Chitosan is the second-most abundant natural polysaccharide. It has unique characteristics,
such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. Due to the existence of its free amine
group and hydroxyl groups on its backbone chain, chitosan can undergo further chemical modifications
to generate Chitosan Derivatives (CDs) that permit additional biomedical functionality. Chitosan
and CDs can be fabricated into various forms, including Nanoparticles (NPs), micelles, hydrogels,
nanocomposites and nano-chelates. For these reasons, chitosan and CDs have found a tremendous
variety of biomedical applications in recent years. This paper mainly presents the prominent
applications of chitosan and CDs for cancer therapy/diagnosis, molecule biosensing, viral infection,
and tissue engineering over the past five years. Moreover, future research directions on chitosan are
also considered.

Abstract
For the first time, megestrol acetate (MGA), a synthetic progestin with therapeutic use in breast cancer, is electrochemically studied to propose a new electroanalytical alternative for its detection in real samples. In the present work, a novel electrochemical sensor based on functionalized acetylene black-CeO2NPs nanohybrids modified glassy carbon microspheres paste electrode (FAB-CeO2NPs/GCMPE) was successfully fabricated and used for sensitive determination of MGA. The modified electrode has been characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrocatalytic reduction of MGA using FAB-CeO2NPs/GCMPE was carried out via CV and square wave voltammetry (SWV). By employing FAB-CeO2NPs/GCMPE, the SWV signal of MGA reduction was 8 fold higher than the bare GCMPE. A wide concentration range from 4.20 × 10-8 to 1.13 × 10-6 M with the low LOD of 1.30 nM for MGA was achieved. The practical analytical utilities of the prospective FAB-CeO2NPs/GCMPE sensor were demonstrated successfully by the detection of MGA in Megace tablets, human serum and urine samples obtained from healthy and patient volunteers after oral administration of 160 mg Megace tablets. HPLC method was also developed for comparison with the electroanalytical method.
