This study investigates the electrochemical behavior of ketamine using an in-lab fabricated screen-printed electrode system and explores its potential application in quantitative analysis. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) experiments were employed to characterize the oxidation behavior of ketamine. Systematic optimization of DPV parameters, including pulse amplitude, pulse width, potential step, potential, and time accumulation for analyte preconcentration resulted in the selection of optimal conditions for quantitative analysis. The developed DPV method exhibited excellent linearity (R2 = 0.996) over the concentration range of 50–500 µM, with a limit of detection of 15 µM and a limit of quantification of 50 µM. Authentic samples analysis demonstrated the utility of the proposed sensor for quantitative analysis of ketamine in pharmaceutical products and seized drug samples. Overall, the developed sensor offers a promising tool for the rapid and accurate analysis of ketamine in various samples with potential applications in on-site forensic analysis.

Environmental and public health risks may arise from the presence of antibiotic residues, and specifically chloramphenicol in food samples. Therefore, it is quite important for researchers to detect chloramphenicol. In this work, PDA@CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized and characterizsed. The PDA@CuFe2O4 nanoparticles that had been prepared were used to create PDA@CuFe2O4/GCE, which was then used to detect chloramphenicol electrochemically in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7). The study focused on the electrochemical properties, including changes in scan rate, sensing, and pH influence. Compared to the unmodified electrode, the PDA@CuFe2O4/GCE electrode exhibits better sensing properties. The advantage of the PDA@CuFe2O4/GCE electrode is that it shows unique electrochemical sensing toward individual and chloramphenicol detection; for instance, it has a low detection of 0.12µM for chloramphenicol detection and a high sensitivity of 16.25A µM−1 cm−2 for chloramphenicol detection.

Triazoles serve as crucial intermediates in the production of ribavirin, a drug utilized for treating hepatitis C, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. In this study, we developed a rapid and straightforward method employing high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection to determine triazoles used in these intermediates' synthesis. We compared several recently developed LC mixed-mode stationary phases with the classical C18 stationary phase. Using an Astra DM column with a multimodal stationary phase enabled rapid separation of all analytes within 3.2 min, surpassing the separation achieved with a C18 stationary phase. Our developed method demonstrated excellent linearity within a concentration range of 1 (2.5)–200 µg cm−3, with acceptable accuracy and precision levels within 1 and 5%, respectively. These results indicate that the optimized method is suitable for routine analysis of pertinent substances involved in the synthesis process, particularly when determining all ribavirin intermediates is necessary.

The effect of the boron content doped in the diamond electrode on the oxidative degradation behaviour of the active pharmaceutical ingredient abacavir was investigated. The characteristics of five working boron-doped diamond electrodes, differing in a B/C doping ratio of 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 4000 ppm, and 8000 ppm, were studied. The oxidative degradation of the substance abacavir was studied in a batch cell. The degradation took place under potentiostatic electrolysis at potentials from +0.6 V to +3.7 V. The boron level has a significant effect on the oxidative degradation of the substance at potentials greater than +2.0 V only. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was employed to verify the generation of two primary degradation by-products, namely OP1 (m/z = 319.20) and OP2 (m/z = 247.19). The relative amounts of these degradation products showed variability depending on the diamond electrode used, which was conditioned by different B/C ratios.
