AI Article Synopsis
- * The researchers synthesized a carbon nanotubes-iron oxide nanocomposite using lecithin-stabilized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles through a simple hydrothermal method.
- * Electrochemical tests, particularly cyclic voltammetry, demonstrated that the SPIONs-CNT nanocomposite has high sensitivity and selectivity for the anti-TB drug Rifampicin, with a limit of detection of 1.178 M.
Article Abstract
It is necessary to study the possible interactions among various chemical surfaces and analytes before applying them to biological systems. We report the synthesis of carbon nanotubes-iron oxide (SPIONs-CNT) nanocomposite material by using lecithin stabilized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) obtained by facile hydrothermal technique. Various characterizations of the obtained nanocomposite were carried out and electrochemical studies were performed further to study the interaction capabilities of the nanocomposite with anti-TB drug Rifampicin. Obtained results by cyclic voltammetric studies of SPIONs-CNT nanocomposite with limit of detection (LOD) of 1.178 M showed the enhanced electrochemical sensitivity and selectivity of anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drug Rifampicin (RIF).

Background: The emergence of drug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB) has made treatment challenging. Although fluoroquinolones (FQs) are used as key drugs in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), the problem of FQs resistance is becoming increasingly serious. Rifampicin (RIF) resistance is considered a risk factor for FQs resistance.

Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) is a public health problem. This study aimed to determine the growth rates and drug susceptibility levels of patients with complex (MTC) growth in cultures obtained and to compare the results with the growth rates and drug susceptibility levels found in our country and other countries. It also aimed to evaluate the results of supplementing classical methods such as Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) with liquid TK MEDIUM and to determine the relationship between the growth rates obtained with both methods.
