3-(4-Nitrophenyl)-8-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-7,8-dihydroimidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(6H)-one (NDIT) is one of the most promising candidates for anticancer agents. Hence, a sensitive and selective sodium dodecyl sulfate-modified screen-printed carbon sensor (SPCE/SDS) was used for its quantitative analysis. The SPCE/SDS, in contrast to the SPCE, showed excellent behavior in the electrochemical reduction of NDIT by differential-pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry (DPAdSV). Cyclic voltammetric (CV) studies reveal an irreversible, two-stage and not purely diffusion-controlled reduction process in 0.01 M HNO3. The sensor was characterized by CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Under the optimized conditions (t 45 s, ΔE 175 mV, ν 150 mV/s, and tm 5 ms), the DPAdSV procedure with the SPCE/SDS presented a very wide linear range from 1 to 2000 nM and a low detection limit of 0.29 nM. A 1000-fold excess concentration of potential interferents commonly present in biological samples did not significantly alter the peak current of NDIT. The practical application of the proposed DPAdSV procedure with the SPCE/SDS was successfully checked by analyzing spiked human serum samples.
