Abstract
In this study, a new eco-friendly electrochemical sensor was effectively designed and utilized to analyze bosentan (BOS); an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) that helps in the management of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), in its pharmaceutical dosage forms and in human plasma samples. Our approach involves BOS electro-oxidation on a gold nanoparticles- modified pencil graphite electrode (PGE) surface in order to improve electrode sensitivity and increase peak current. Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were electrochemically deposited onto the electrode surface using cyclic voltammetry (CV). With the aid of differential pulse voltammetry, a quantitative determination of BOS was obtained in 0.1 M KCl across a potential range of 0.00 to 1.8 V. The method’s validation was performed in compliance with International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals…
