The goal of this study was to develop an electroanalytical method for the simultaneous determination of steroid hormones for the first time. The key factor in the electrochemical methods is the choice of suitable electrode materials. For this purpose, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) doped poly(sulfosalicylic acid) (PSSA) was immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Apart from exhibition strong and stable electrocatalytic response towards estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4), the proposed sensor was able to distinguish two hormone's oxidation peaks clearly. Under the optimal conditions, for selective determination of E2, good linear relationships were obtained in the range of 0.001-6.0μmolL, with detection limit of 0.23nmolL, and for P4 in the range of 0.001-6.0μmolL, with the detection limit of 0.31nmolL. The prepared sensor possessed accurate and rapid response toward E2 and P4 with an improved stability, selectivity and repeatability. More importantly, the facile and environment-friendly electrochemical construction strategy provided here, may be open a cost-effective way for setting up nanocomposites or nanohybrid-based sensing platform, which extend the application of electrochemical sensor for the green, facile and sensitive analysis of electroactive compounds in biological systems and pharmaceutical formulations.
本研究旨在首次开发一种用于同时测定甾体激素的电分析方法。电化学方法的关键因素是选择合适的电极材料。为此,将掺有石墨烯量子点 (GQDs) 的聚磺基水杨酸 (PSSA) 固定在玻碳电极 (GCE) 上。除了对雌二醇 (E2) 和孕酮 (P4) 表现出强烈而稳定的电催化响应外,所提出的传感器还能够清楚地区分两种激素的氧化峰。在最佳条件下,对于 E2 的选择性测定,在 0.001-6.0μmolL 的范围内获得了良好的线性关系,检测限为 0.23nmolL,对于 P4,在 0.001-6.0μmolL 的范围内,检测限为 0.31nmolL。该制备的传感器对 E2 和 P4 具有准确、快速的响应,稳定性、选择性和重现性得到了提高。更重要的是,这里提供的简便且环保的电化学构建策略,可能为建立基于纳米复合材料或纳米杂化的传感平台开辟了一种具有成本效益的方法,从而扩展了电化学传感器在生物系统和药物制剂中对电活性化合物进行绿色、简便和灵敏分析的应用。
