Popis: A simple offline coupling voltammetry-MALDI/TOF MS procedure is presented for studying electrochemical reactions. It was utilized for the characterization of the electro-reduction products of febuxostat in methanolic acetate buffer (0.1 M, pH 5). The MS analysis reveals that the carboxylic and nitrile groups are the electro-reducible groups at −0.9338 and −1.5503 V with the conversion to aldehydic and amino groups, respectively. The developed voltammetric method was validated and applied successfully for the drug determination in pharmaceutical tablets and real plasma samples within the linearity ranges 0.03–2 and 0.4–5 μg mL−1, respectively.
