Abstract

Graphene and its composites have attracted considerable attention in synthesis and electrochemical applications. In the present work, we have synthesized and characterized graphene oxide-bentonite composite (GO-BEN) and utilized it to fabricate an electrochemical sensor. For this, the solution of GO-BEN cast on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was reduced electrochemically in phosphate buffer solution of pH 6 to obtain electrochemically reduced graphene oxide-bentonite composite (ERGO-BEN-GCE). This ERGO-BEN film was used for electrochemical investigation of an oxazolidinone class of antibiotic, linezolid (LIN) for the first time. The electrochemical sensor showed excellent enhancement and adsorptive ability towards the electrooxidation of LIN. LIN exhibited two each of oxidation and reduction peaks on ERGO-BEN film in phosphate buffer of pH 7.0. Effects of accumulation time, pH of solution and scan rate were studied and various electrochemical parameters were evaluated. The plot of pH versus Ep gave a slope of 26.2 mV/pH in the pH range of 4.2-8.0 indicating the participation of two electrons and one proton in the electrode process. An adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetric method (AdSDPV) was developed for the determination of LIN in bulk, pharmaceutical formulations and urine samples. Adsorptive stripping linear sweep voltammetric (AdSLSV) and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) methods were also developed and the results were compared. LIN showed linear relationship between the current density and concentration in the range of 0.25 - 31.25 μM with a LOD of 0.0337 μM in AdSDPV method; 0.5 - 31.25 μM with a LOD of 0.100 μM in DPV method and 1.25 - 37.5 μM with a LOD of 0.5461 μM in AdSLSV method respectively. The proposed AdSDPV method was observed to be simple, fast and inexpensive and hence, could be readily adopted for quality control in pharmaceutical products.
