ABSTRACT
In this work, a simple, cheap, sensitive, and selective modified carbon paste electrode is proposed for the electroanalytical determination of Levofloxacin (LEVO), the drug used to treat pneumonia caused by coronavirus. The electrochemical polymerization method was applied to create a thin poly-murexide film (POMUR) on the bare carbon paste electrode (BCPE) surface to enhance its electrocatalytic activity. The peak current response of LEVO obtained by POMUR/CPE was increased by 14.2 μA compared to BCPE. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques were employed to characterize BCPE and POMUR/CPE. Under the optimal experimental circumstances, the prepared sensor was capable of determining LEVO with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.18 nM (S/N = 3) for a linear dynamic range of 25 – 1 × 103 nM utilizing differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Moreover, the practical applicability of POMUR/CPE for determining LEVO in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples (human serum) demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity with a recovery of 95.08 – 100.5 %. © 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
