title: Simultaneous determination of adenosine and inosine using single-wall carbon nanotubes modified pyrolytic graphite electrode.
abstract: Voltammetric determination of adenosine and inosine has been carried out at single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) modified pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE) at pH 7.2 using Osteryoung square wave voltammetry (OSWV). The modified electrode exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic properties towards adenosine and inosine oxidation with a peak potential of approximately 1229 mV and 1348 mV, respectively. Linear calibration curves are obtained over the concentration range 0.5 microM to 1.0 mM in adenosine and 10 microM to 1.0 mM in inosine with sensitivity of 1.0 microA microM(-1) and 1.9 microA microM(-1) for adenosine and inosine respectively. The limit of detection for adenosine and inosine was found to be 0.51x10(-7) M and 2.04x10(-7) M, respectively. The proposed method was also used to estimate these compounds in human blood plasma and urine samples and the method was validated using HPLC.
