Analytical green star area (AGSA) as a new assessment tool for the electrochemical determination of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride in wastewater samples using recycled graphite-modified nitrogen-doped CQDs.

ABSTRACT: Active pharmaceutical compound consumption and their discharge into municipal wastewater via excretion are a growing danger for water quality and have considerable short-term, medium-term, and long-term impacts on environmental and human health. The objectives of this work were the detection and determination of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride (CBZ), the most used muscle relaxant present in wastewater, with high accuracy and precision to avoid the serious environmental threat caused by the medication's overuse. The proposed electrode showed higher sensitivity with a Nernstian slope value of 57.97 ± 0.23 mV per decade in the linearity range of 1.0 × 10^-7 to 1.0 × 10^-2 M and an LOD of 5.62 × 10^-8. This study is also the first to corroborate the use of a
