Facile Fabrication of Bio-Nanohybrid Electrode with Guanine/Cytosine-Modified Electrochemically Reduced Graphene Oxide Electrode and Its Application in Doxorubicin Analysis

초록

Graphene, known for its outstanding physical and chemical properties, is widely used in various fields, including electronics and biomedicine. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is preferred for electrochemical applications due to its enhanced water solubility and dispersion. Electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ErGO) is particularly advantageous as it can be prepared under mild conditions and simplifies sensor fabrication; however, ErGO-based electrochemical sensors often lack specificity. Bioreceptors like proteins, enzymes, and DNA/RNA aptamers are incorporated to provide high specificity. This study introduces a guanine (G)/cytosine (C)-modified ErGO electrode (G/C@ErGO-GCE) for the sensitive electrochemical detection of doxorubicin (DOX) with good selectivity. The G/C mixture acts as a bioreceptor and is anchored on the ErGO-GCE surface via pi-pi interactions. The G/C@ErGO-GCE was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, contact angle measurement, Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. The sensor demonstrated excellent dynamic range (DPV: 10 nM to 1 mu M, CA: 30 nM to 1.3 mu M), sensitivity (DPV: 2.17 mu A/mu M, CA: 6.79 mu A/mu M), limit of detection (DPV: 84 nM, CA: 34 nM), and selectivity for DOX detection, highlighting its potential for biomedical applications and pharmacokinetic studies.
