Smart and sensitive nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensor for the determination of a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor anticancer agent

In this research, we propose a novel approach for constructing a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor utilizing high-quality multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with amino groups (MWCNT-NH₂) for the detection of Talazoparib (TLZ), a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor, in real samples. The MWCNT-NH₂-based sensor exhibited remarkable performance characteristics, including excellent repeatability, reproducibility, and high selectivity against various interferences. Under optimized conditions, the sensor demonstrated a wide linear concentration range of 1.0–5.0 μM, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.201 μM. Substantiated by rigorous analysis of pharmaceutical and biological matrices, our methodology emerges as a paragon of reliability, boasting recovery rates within the satisfactory bracket of 96.38–105.25%. The successful application of the MWCNT-NH₂-based sensor in practical sample analysis highlights its potential for implementation in clinical and pharmaceutical settings. This research not only advances the application of MWCNT-NH2 in electrochemical sensing but also opens new avenues for the development and monitoring of innovative anticancer treatments. The insights gained from our study have far-reaching implications, pointing toward a future where precision and innovation converge to improve patient care and treatment outcomes.
