Simultaneous Determination of Magnolol and Honokiol Using a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified by UIO-66-NH2 and Electroreduced Carboxylated Graphene Oxide

Abstract

An electrochemical sensor for the simultaneous detection of magnolol (MAG) and honokiol (HON) was constructed based on the metal-organic framework, UIO-66-NH2, and electroreduced carboxylated graphene oxide (ErGO-GOOH). The UIO-66-NH2@ErGO-COOH coating was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry was applied to investigate the electrochemical behavior of MAG and HON on UIO-66-NH2@ErGO-COOH/GCE. The electroanalytical method for the simultaneous determination of MAG and HON was established using linear sweep voltammetry. Under optimal experimental conditions, a linear range of 0.05 ∼ 8 μM and limits of detection of 16 and 7.0 nm for MAG and HON, respectively, were obtained. The sensor exhibited good repeatability, reproducibility, stability and anti-interference ability. The sensor was successfully applied to the simultaneous detection of MAG and HON in urine and serum samples with good recovery.
