Abstrakt: In this study, a selective and sensitive electrochemical approach for determining hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was proposed. A novel nanocomposite based on gold nanoparticles synthesized by green synthesis in an extract of white pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) (AuNP-Ext) decorated with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) was presented. AuNP-Ext was characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and the f-MWCNTs/AuNP-Ext nanocomposite by transmission electron microscopy. The nanocomposite was used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Using the f-MWCNT-AuNP-Ext/GCE sensor, an irreversible oxidation peak at +0.74 V vs. Ag/AgCl was verified by HCQ. The calibration plot was studied in two linear ranges, from 0.03 to 3.5 µmol/L and from 3.5 to 17.0 µmol/L, with a limit of detection of 0.0093 µmol/L and a limit of quantification of 0.031 µmol/L, regarding the first linear range. The proposed sensor was successfully applied to the determination of HCQ in pharmaceutical and clinical samples without any special purification, separation or pre-treatment steps. The accuracy was verified by UV-Vis spectrometry, and this revealed that the proposed method was accurate and precise, as evidenced by F- and t-tests.
