AbstractAn electrochemical sensor based on guanine-, polythionine-, and nitrogen-doped graphene modified glassy carbon electrode (G/PTH/NG/GCE) was fabricated and applied for antioxidant capacity evaluation of natural compounds and complexes in electrochemical method since natural sources of active compounds exhibited various antioxidant activities. When the antioxidants existed in the system, the generated hydroxyl radicals were scavenged and the damage to guanine immobilized on the electrode was reduced less resulting in the oxidation peak current increased in square wave voltammetry. After the modifications of polythionine- and nitrogen-doped graphene, the oxidation peak current was improved. The effects of pH, incubation time, and concentrations of guanine and Fe2+ ions on the performances of the electrode were investigated and optimized. The G/PTH/NG/GCE showed good linearity, reproducibility, and storage stability for antioxidant capacity evaluation of ascorbic acid at the optimum conditions. The antioxidant capacities of three flavonoids and three plant extracts were measured using the G/PTH/NG/GCE and DPPH methods. Myricetin showed the highest antioxidant capacity in both electrochemical and DPPH methods. The proposed G/PTH/NG/GCE exhibited easy fabrication procedure, rapid detection time, and low cost for the detection of antioxidant activity for various kinds of samples.
