Potentiality of PARAFAC approaches for simultaneous determination of N-acetylcysteine and acetaminophen based on the second-order data obtained from differential pulse voltammetry.

N-acetylcysteine (N-AC) has widespread application such as pharmaceutical drug and nutritional supplement. Its adverse effects are rash, urticaria, and itchiness and large doses of N-AC could potentially cause damage to the heart and lungs. Therefore, in this work, a sensitive voltammetric sensor based on a carbon paste electrode modified with silica nano particles (i.

Application of nanosized MCM-41 to fabrication of a nanostructured electrochemical sensor for the simultaneous determination of levodopa and carbidopa.

A novel carbon paste electrode modified with nanosized mesoporous MCM-41 was prepared, and used as an electrochemical sensor to study the electro oxidation of levodopa (LD), carbidopa (CD) and their mixtures. Using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), a highly selective and simultaneous determination of LD and CD has been explored at the modified electrode. The electrochemical sensor displayed a good resolving function for the overlapping voltammetric responses of LD and CD into two separate peaks with a potential difference of 370 mV.

Simultaneous and selective voltammetric determination of , and at a nanoparticles modified paste electrode.

A new carbon paste electrode modified with ZrO2 nanoparticles (ZONMCPE) was prepared, and used to study the electrooxidation of epinephrine (EP), acetaminophen (AC), folic acid (FA) and their mixtures by electrochemical methods. The modified electrode displayed strong resolving function for the overlapping voltammetric responses of EP, AC and FA into three well-defined peaks. The potential differences between EP - AC, AC - FA and EP - FA were 210, 290 and 500 mV respectively.

Alumina supported potassium permanganate: an efficient reagent for chemoselective dehydrogenation of 2-imidazolines under mild conditions.

Potassium permanganate supported on alumina was found to be an efficient reagent system for dehydrogenation of 2-imidazolines to imidazoles under mild conditions at room temperature. Selective oxidation of 2-alkylimidazolines in the presence of 2-arylimidazolines was achieved using this reagent system. 2-Imidazolines were also selectively converted to their corresponding imidazoles in the presence of other oxidizable functional groups such as sulfide, ether, aldehyde, acetal and THP ether.
