Bio-synthesis of NiFe2O4@g-C3N4 Nanocomposite for Simultaneous Detection of Anticancer Drug Methotrexate and Folic Acid in Biological Fluids
摘要
The electrochemical oxidation of the anticancer drug methotrexate (MTX) was investigated using a glassy carbon electrode modified with a NiFe2O4@g-C3N4 nanocomposite. The modified electrode exhibited a clear and enhanced irreversible oxidation signal for MTX compared to the bare electrode. Cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry studies showed that the oxidation process was diffusion-controlled and influenced by scan rate and solution pH. Under optimized conditions, the sensor demonstrated high sensitivity and enabled the simultaneous detection of MTX and folic acid with well-resolved peaks. The modified electrode also displayed good stability, reproducibility, and selectivity, indicating its suitability for electrochemical determination of MTX in biological samples.
