Deciphering versatile electrode materials in the electrochemical progressive processes for flutamide detection: A systematic review

Excess of flutamide causes diseases, therefore excess of anything is undesirable. In order to safeguard human health and the environment, the scientific community battled to monitor hazardous and deadly substances, bacteria, gases, and radiation. So, we focus on the detection of Flutamide (FLT), a non-steroidal anti-androgen drug that is widely used in the treatment of prostatic carcinoma are rapidly attracted interest in the field of medical sciences because it is cherished in monitoring health and environmental conditions and their absurd negative effects when used in excess. This review article focuses on the important advancement in developing mixed and clinical nano samples-based on electrochemical sensors for simultaneous electrochemical sensing of FLT. The fabrication of different electrodes such as Diamond Electrode, Screen Printed Carbon Electrodes (SPCE), Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE), Gold Electrode (AuE), Carbon Paste Electrode (CPE), and Graphite Pencil Lead Electrode used to detect FLT are highlighted. Furthermore, the challenges of translating different kinds of electrodes with supported nanomaterials-based sensors from the laboratory to the market are considered in future perspectives. This review discusses the selective reports on the different kinds of electrodes to discuss the application of FLT sensors during the period from 2012 to 2024. This review will be a useful tool for researchers, providing new perspectives and ideas for exciting new directions to explore.
