Novel Copper Oxide-Integrated Carbon Paste Tirofiban Voltammetric Sensor.

ABSTRACT: The present study introduced the construction and electroanalytical characterization of novel tirofiban (TIR) carbon paste voltammetric sensors integrated with copper oxide nanoparticles. The copper oxide nanostructure remarkably enhanced the oxidation of TIR molecules on the electrode surface with an irreversible anodic oxidation peak at about 1.18 V. The peak current values of the recorded differential pulse voltammograms were correlated to the TIR concentrations within a defined linear range from 0.060 to 7.41 μg mL^-1 with an LOD value of 20.7 ng mL^-1. Based on the electrochemical behavior of TIR at different scan rates and with the aid of the molecular orbital calculations performed on the TIR molecule, the electro-oxidation reaction was postulated to undergo through the oxidation of the five-membered-ring nitrogen atom with the transfer of one electron and one proton. Based on the reported selectivity and sensitivity of the proposed method, TIR was successfully determined in Aggrastat intravenous infusion and biological samples with mean average recoveries agreeable with the UV spectrophotometric method.
