Silica-based mesoporous organic-inorganic nano-hybrid: a novel electroceramic nanomaterial for electroanalytical determination of selected cardiovascular drugs in human serum

Abstract

Magnetic mesoporous silica was used for electrode modification and electro-oxidation of some cardiovascular drugs. The modified electrode was applied for detection of cardiovascular drugs using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and differential pulse voltammetry. The modified electrode shows many advantages as an electrochemical sensor such as simple preparation method without using any specific electron transfer mediator or specific reagent, high sensitivity, excellent activity, short response time, long term stability and remarkable antifouling property toward for cardiovascular drugs and its oxidation product. Finally, the applicability of the sensor for determination of the selected drugs in human serum samples has been successfully demonstrated.
