Fabrication of a novel ion selective electrode for determining alcaftadine was achieved. The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was utilized as a substrate in fabrication of an electrochemical sensor containing polyaniline (PANI) as an ion-to-electron transducer layer. A PVC polymeric matrix and nitrophenyl-octyl-ether were employed in designing the ion-sensing membrane (ISM). Potential stability was improved and minimization of electrical signal drift was achieved for inhibition of water layer formation at the electrode interface. Potential stability was achieved by inclusion of PANI between the electronic substrate and the ion-sensing membrane. The sensor's performance was evaluated following IUPAC recommendations. The sensor dynamic linear range was from 1.0 × 10−2 to 1.0 × 10−6 mol L−1 and it had a 6.3 × 10−7 mol L−1 detection limit. The selectivity and capabilities of the formed alcaftadine sensor were tested in the presence of its pharmaceutical formulation excipients as well as its degradation products. Additionally, the sensor was capable of quantifying the studied drug in a rabbit aqueous humor. Method's greenness profile was evaluated by the means of Analytical Greenness (AGREE) metric assessment tool.
