Abstract

ZnO nanoflowers-modified graphite screen-printed electrode had very good electrochemical catalytic activity toward sertraline and imipramine. Results showed significant decline in the oxidation overpotentials of sertraline and imipramine in comparison with the overpotential at the bare graphite screen-printed electrode. Moreover, differential pulse voltammetry has been utilized to simultaneously determine sertraline and imipramine in the ternary mixture. Based on the analyses, the peak separation between sertraline and imipramine was 200 mV. In addition, calibration curve for imipramine ranged from 0.1 to 550.0 μM. Furthermore, minimum limit of detection (S/N = 3) equaled 0.035 μM imipramine. Finally, this new procedure exhibited acceptable sensitivity and selectivity so that it could be utilized for determining sertraline and imipramine in the pharmaceutical medicines and urine samples.
