Abstract

We described a three-dimensional Mn <subscript>3</subscript> O <subscript>4</subscript> microcubes (3D-Mn <subscript>3</subscript> O <subscript>4</subscript> MCs) synthesised via a facile hydrothermal route for the determination of nimorazole (NMZ), an important drug that used in the treatment of head and neck cancer. The 3D-Mn <subscript>3</subscript> O <subscript>4</subscript> MCs possess large active area and high conductivity, and 3D-Mn <subscript>3</subscript> O <subscript>4</subscript> MCs film modified screen-printed carbon electrode (3D-Mn <subscript>3</subscript> O <subscript>4</subscript> MCs/SPCE) was fabricated which displayed excellent electrocatalytic ability towards NMZ. Under optimised working conditions, the modified electrode responded linearly to NMZ in the 0.025-8060µM concentration range and the detection limit was 6nM. A rapid, sensitive, selective, reproducible, and durable sensor was described. The practical feasibility of the sensor was demonstrated in human serum and NMZ tablet samples. The obtained results revealed the potential real-time applicability of the sensing device in biological analysis and pharmaceutical formulations.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
