The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode for the electroreduction of ranitidine was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, and analytical curves were obtained for ranitidine using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) under optimized conditions. The best voltammetric response was obtained for an electrode composition of 20% (m/m) [VO(salen)] in the paste, 0.10 mol L- 1 of KCl solution (pH 5.5 adjusted with HCl) as supporting electrolyte and scan rate of 25 mV s- 1. A sensitive linear voltammetric response for ranitidine was obtained in the concentration range from 9.9 × 10- 5 to 1.0 × 10- 3 mol L- 1, with a detection limit of 6.6 × 10- 5 mol L- 1 using linear sweep voltammetry. These results demonstrated the viability of this modified electrode as a sensor for determination, quality control and routine analysis of ranitidine in pharmaceutical formulations. © 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.4081-4085engElectrochemical sensorModified carbon paste electrodeOxovanadium (IV) complex of salenRanitidineElectrochemical behaviorsElectrochemical characterizationsLinear sweep voltammetryOxovanadium complexesPharmaceutical formulationSupporting electrolyteCarbonCurve fittingCyclic voltammetryElectrochemical sensorsElectrolytic reductionEthyleneElectrochemical electrodesArtigo10.1016/j.msec.2013.05.051WOS:000325445700067Acesso restrito2-s2.0-84881159141
