Monographs in Electrochemistry Series Editor: F. Scholz Sibel A. Ozkan Jean-Michel Kauffmann Petr Zuman Electroanalysis in Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Voltammetry, Amperometry, Biosensors, Applications Electroanalysis in Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Monographs in Electrochemistry Series Editor: Fritz Scholz, University of Greifswald, Germany Surprisingly, a large number of important topics in electrochemistry is not covered by up-to-date monographs and series on the market, some topics are even not covered at all. The series Monographs in Electrochemistry fills this gap by pub- lishing indepth monographs written by experienced and distinguished electrochemists, covering both theory and applications. The focus is set on existing as well as emerging methods for researchers, engineers, and practitioners active in the many and often interdisciplinary fields, where electrochemistry plays a key role. These fields will range – among others – from analytical and environmental sciences to sensors, materials sciences and biochemical research.

Printed on acid-free paper Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface In the modern pharmaceutical industry, selective, sensitive, and fully validated analytical methods for drug analysis are major tools applied at all stages of drug discovery, development, and production. Fast and effective development of rugged analytical methods is efficiently undertaken with a thorough understanding of their principles, theory, and instrumentation. The main focus of this book is devoted to electroanalytical methods applied to drug compound analysis. New electrode materials, sensors, biosensors, separation methods with EC detection, their theory, advantages, and limitations have been reported. The unique performance, small size, and low cost of electrochemical devices have led to many useful measuring systems. Given the impressive progress in electroanalytical chemistry and its growing impact on drug analysis, this book offers also an up-to-date, easy-to-read presentations of numerous recent applica- tions in drug compound analysis. In preparing this volume, we have tried to find an appropriate balance between theory and practice, between “classical” and “modern” methods of electroanalysis, and between electroanalytical methods. Only brief consideration, however, has been given on sampling, method optimization, data analysis, and statistics. This textbook contains nine contemporary chapters, sharing one goal in electro- analysis of pharmaceuticals. In the first chapter, an overview of drug analysis is presented to situate electrochemical methods in their analytical context. Chapter 2 contains polarography and its application on pharmaceuticals. The following chap- ter includes modern voltammetric methods which are used most frequently in drug analysis (Chap. 3). In Chap. 4, solid electrodes in detail for drug analysis are described. Screen printed electrodes (SPE) are presented for the determination of drug active compounds in Chap. 5, and the next chapter describes electrochemical biosensors used for drug analysis (Chap. 6). Recent developments in the field of separation methods, specifically liquid chromatography (LC) and flow injection analysis (FIA) with electrochemical detection and the hyphenated techniques related with it, are summarized in Chap. 7. Validation of electroanalytical methods v vi Preface in pharmaceutical analysis, necessary parameters, and their calculations are presented in Chap. 8. The last chapter includes examples of electrochemical application on drug assays. Readers from various fields will likely find new ideas and approaches to solve typical analytical problems in this volume. The completion of this book could not have been possible without the help, inspiration, and encouragement from many people. Last but not least, we warmly acknowledge the gracious support of our families, and we are very grateful to them for their understanding and support throughout the entire process of writing and editing. We would like to thank colleagues (Mehmet Gumustas, Sevinc Kurbanoglu, Burcin Palabiyik, Nurgul Karadas, and Burcu D. Topal) of Sibel A Ozkan for their valuable help. We would like to special thanks to Dr. Heike Kahlert who made useful and valuable comments based on a detailed addition to Chap. 8. Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to a unique set of internationally leading authors, who accepted our invitation to join us and commit- ted their valuable time and efforts to guarantee the success of this book. We would like to express our appreciation and special thanks to Fritz Scholz for his accurate and inspired revision and continuous support and enthusiasm in editing this textbook.
