Cyclic Voltammetric Determination of Capsaicin by Using Electrochemically Deposited Tin and Reduced Graphene Oxide on Screen-Printed Carbon Electrodes R ESEARCH ARTICLE doi: 10.2306/scienceasia1513-1874.2020.076 Cyclic voltammetric determination of capsaicin by using electrochemically deposited tin and reduced graphene oxide on screen-printed carbon electrodes Wasukamol Numphud, Orapin Chienthavorn, Wilai Siriwatcharapiboon∗ Department of Chemistry and the Center of Excellence for Innovation in Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, Bangkok 10903 Thailand ∗Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Received 28 May 2020 Accepted 19 Aug 2020 ABSTRACT: Tin and reduced graphene oxide (Sn/rGO) was prepared by an electrochemical deposition and modified on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) in order to improve the electrode selectivity and sensitivity for determination of capsaicin in real samples. The modified electrode was characterized for its surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). An elemental analysis of prepared catalysts was confirmed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental conditions influencing determination of capsaicin were optimized. The experiment was carried out in a sodium acetate buffer solution pH 3.0 at a scan rate of 50 mV/s. The Sn/rGO/SPCE showed a linear working range of 0.2–22 µM of capsaicin concentrations. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.005 µM (S/N=3) and 0.02 µM (S/N=10), respectively. The prepared electrode was successfully applied to determine capsaicin in real chili samples and chili sauces.

They had IC values of 11.6 2.9, 14.4 1.5, and 42.7 3.5 µg/mL against soluble epoxide hydrolase 50 ± ± ± (sEH), respectively. The three inhibitors (1–3) were found to non-competitively bind into the allosteric site of the enzyme with K values of 10.5 3.2, 11.9 2.8 and 38.0 4.1 µg/mL, respectively. The i ± ± ± potential inhibitors 1 and 2 were located at the left edge ofa U-tube shape that contained the enzyme active site. Additionally, we observed changes in several factors involved in the binding of these complexes under 300 K and 1 bar. Finally, it was confirmed that each inhibitor, 1 and 2, could be complexed with sEH by the “induced fit” and “lock-and-key” models.
