Abstract
Cefpirome, which is a fourth-generation cephalosporin, was analyzed for the first time at a glassy carbon electrode using differential pulse voltammetry in this novel method. Different experimental conditions were optimized, such as pH and electrolyte type, to achieve a high peak current. Under the optimum conditions, the oxidation of cefpirome exhibited diffusion- controlled process depending on pH. Cefpirome was electrochemically determined at the linear range between 2-200 μM, and the detection limit was found as 0.167 μM in pH 4.7 acetate buffer solution. Analysis results showed that the proposed electrochemical method could be used for the determination of cefpirome in human urine samples. A linear relationship has been obtained in the concentration range of 2-10 μM. At the same time, the detection limit was found as 0.101 μM for cefpirome in human urine. Moreover, to check the selectivity of the proposed method, the effect of some interference species, including ascorbic acid, uric acid, dopamine, glucose, Na+, K+, Ca+2, NO3 - , have also been investigated. As a result, a simple, sensitive, reproducible, no time-consuming, and more environmentally friendly method was developed when compared to the literature studies.
