Proparacaine, one of the most common local anesthetics to facilitate diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, was assayed by square wave voltammetry using a paste electrode prepared with carbon nanotubes. In cyclic voltammetric studies, proparacaine has exhibited a single irreversible anodic peak at around + 900 mV vs. Ag/AgCl in pH 6.0 Britton-Robinson buffer solution. It was suggested that the peak had appeared due to the oxidation of the NH group on the proparacaine molecule. Prior to the determination of the proparacaine by square wave stripping voltammetry (SWSV) on the fabricated multi-walled carbon nanotube paste electrode (MWCNTPE), the accumulation potential (E), accumulation time (t), pulse amplitude (ΔE), step potential (ΔE) and frequency (f ) parameters were optimized. The peak currents plotted in the range of 0.5 - 12.5 mg/L proparacaine exhibited two linear sections with a detection limit of 0.11 mg/L. The results for the determination of proparacaine on a pharmaceutical local anesthetic (Alcaine) showed that relative standard deviation (RSD) and relative error (RE) were 4.1 and -2.0%, respectively. Selectivity has also been investigated and results showed recoveries of 5.0 mg/L proparacaine in the presence of 5.0 mg/L dopamine, ascorbic acid and uric acid as 106.9 ± 0.8, 99.9 ± 1.2 and 94.1 ± 0.7, respectively.

Background: The buildup of methylparaben (MP), a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative with endocrine-disrupting properties, in environmental sources, especially aquatic systems, has become a significant concern due to its adverse health effects, including allergic reactions, promoting the risk of developing cancer, and inducing reproductive disorders. Hence, introducing inexpensive and easy-to-use monitoring devices for rapid, selective, and sensitive detection and quantification of MP is highly desirable. In this context, electrochemical platforms have proven to be attractive options due to their remarkable features, such as ease of fabrication and use, short response time, and acceptable sensitivity, accuracy, and selectivity.

ZnO-doped CuO nanocomposites (CuO-ZnO NPs) of 1, 3, and 5 mol% were prepared by the solution combustion method using ODH as a fuel (Oxlyl-hydrazide) at 500 °C and calcining at 1000 °C for two hours and the Structural, photocatalytic, and electrochemical properties were investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed a crystallite size (D) range of 25 to 31 nm for pure CuO and 1, 3, and 5 mol% CuO-ZnO NPs. According to calculations, the optical energy band gap (Eg) of the NPs is between 2.
