ABSTRACT
Electroactive polypyrrole-molybdenum disulfide (MoP) nanocomposites were synthesized and used for modifying screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) for ultrasensitive detection of berberine, an anticancer drug, in rat plasma. The electroactive nanocomposites were fabricated by exfoliating MoS2 followed by pyrrole polymerization. The effect of polypyrrole in the MoP nanocomposite was evaluated by varying the pyrrole concentration during polymerization, and the resulting nanocomposites prepared with pyrrole concentrations of 10, 20, 30 µL were named as MoP-1, MoP-2, and MoP-3, respectively. The electrochemical characterization of the three MoP nanocomposite sensors revealed that MoP-2/SPCE exhibited the highest electroactivity. The detection of berberine by the three MoP-coated SPCEs revealed that MoP-2/SPCE exhibited the highest activity against berberine due to a two-electron transfer mechanism on the MoP-2/SPCE electrode surface. The detection limit of berberine using the MoP-2/SPCE sensor was found to be about 0.05 µM, which is remarkably lower than the reported detection limits. The interference study proved the selectivity of the MoP-2/SPCE sensor toward berberine in the presence of other bioactive molecules and metal ions. The designed MoP-2/SPCE sensor retained 92% of its initial activity after 15 days of storage at room temperature, with RSD values of about 2.95% and 3.68% for the repeatability and reproducibility studies. Finally, the detection limit of berberine in a rat plasma sample determined using the MoP-2/SPCE sensor was found to be about 5 µM.
