1. Experimental
2.1. Materials and reagents
Salinomycin (SAL) monosodium salt was obtained as a gift from NODCAR, El-Dokky, El-Giza,
Egypt. Lanthanum nitrate (La (NO3)3.6H2O), Zirconyl chloride (ZrOCl2), dopamine, glutathione,
adenine, guanine and uric acid were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Ascorbic acid, Na2HPO4 and
NaH2PO4 were purchased from El-Nasser for chemicals, Cairo, Egypt.
Phosphate buffers (0.2 M) with different pH values were prepared by mixing different volumes
of 0.2 M Na2HPO4 and 0.2 M NaH2PO4 and then, adjusting the pH with NaOH or H3PO4.
2.2. Instrumentation
Princeton VersaSTAT MC (VersaSTAT 3, Model RE-1, Princeton Applied Research, AMETEK,
USA), connected to three electrodes system was used for carrying out all investigated
electrochemical experiments such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry
(DPV) measurements. The reference electrode was Ag/AgCl, 3 M KCl and the auxiliary
electrode was a platinum wire, whereas the working electrode was the fabricated GCE in 10-mL
glass. Surface morphology studies of the manufactured sensor were investigated using scanning
electron microscopy (SEM, JEOL JSM-5400 LV instrument (Oxford, USA). All experiments
were conducted at room temperature. Elemental analysis was carried out using OXFORD INA
Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDX). Nicolet 6700 FTIR Advanced Gold
Spectrometer, supported with OMNIC 8 software (Thermo Electron Scientific instruments Corp.,
Madison, WI USA) was used to record FTIR spectra. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was
performed using a PW1729 Philips diffractometer interfaced with a computer control unit model
PW1710 using copper source. The angular range of 2θ was between 4º and 70º. Raman spectral
II
studies were performed using Micro-Raman spectrometer (U.K) encompassed with 514.4 nm
He/Ne laser.
2.3. Synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)
Graphite oxide was synthesized from natural graphite by modified Hummers method. Briefly,
2.0 g of graphite powder and 1.0 g NaNO3 were mixed, and then put into 96.0 mL Conc. H2SO4
in an ice bath. Under vigorous stirring, 9.0 g KMnO4 was added gradually. The temperature of
the mixture was maintained below 20°C. The ice bath was removed and mixture was stirred in a
water bath for 2 h. To the brownish color pasty liquid, 150 mL of water was added. To maintain
temperature below 50°C water was added continuously till total volume of water was 200 mL.
To the above mixture, 5 mL of 30% H2O2 was added and it was observed that the solution color
transformed into brilliant yellow along with bubbling. The mixture was stirred for 2 h; it was
filtered and washed with 10% HCl aqueous solution, water, and ethanol. The product obtained
was dried under vacuum at 60°C. For the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide, 100 mg of
graphite oxide was dispersed in 100 mL of water and sonicated for 1h. In this step conversion of
graphite oxide to graphene oxide (brown dispersion) took place. To the above dispersion 2.0 g of
hydrazine hydrate in 5 mL water was added and the mixture was refluxed at 100 °C for 24 h
under magnetic stirring. Finally, the mixture was filtered, washed thoroughly with water and
dried at 60 °C for 12 h.
2.4. Preparation of real samples
2.4.1. Human urine and plasma samples
Urine samples were collected from healthy volunteers and 5 mL of urine sample was centrifuged
at 1500 rpm for 20 min. Then, the urine sample was filtered using 0.45 mm filter paper and 1.5
III
mL of the supernatant was transferred to voltammetric sample containing phosphate buffer
(pH=7.0).
Human plasma (1.5 mL) was mixed with 1.0 mL acetonitrile and subjected to centrifugation to
about 30 min to remove possible interference. After that, the supernatant was collected and
diluted with 5 mL phosphate buffer (pH= 7.0) prior to the voltammetric analysis.
2.4.2. Pharmacokinetic studies in rabbit plasma
The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of SAL. All experimental
procedures and protocols were reviewed and approved by the ethics of Assiut University clinics,
Assiut, Egypt. Rabbits had fed prohibited for 6 h before the study but water was only taken. The
blood samples (3.0 mL) were collected from a forearm vein into heparinized polyethene tubes at
0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 and 5 h after oral administration of 2.5 mg mL -1,
the samples were immediately centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min. The plasma was stored at
−80ºC until analysis. The pharmacokinetic parameters for SAL were estimated using the
validated moment analysis software.
