    Abstract:
    The development of a highly sensitive voltammetric sensor for reduced l-glutathione (GSH) using a basal plane pyrolytic graphite (BPPG) electrode modified with iron(III) tetra-(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)-porphyrin (FeT4MPyP) adsorbed on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is described. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to verify the morphologies and composition of the MWCNT after modification with the FeT4MPyP complex. The modified electrode showed very efficient electrocatalytic activity for l-glutathione oxidation, substantially decreasing the oxidation peak to -0.025V vs Ag/AgCl. A linear response range from 5 micromolL(-1) to 5 mmolL(-1) was obtained with a sensitivity of 703.41 microALmmol(-1). The detection limit for GSH determination was 0.5 micromolL(-1) and the relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) for 10 determinations of 250 micromolL(-1) GSH was 1.4%. The modified electrode was applied for GSH determination in erythrocyte samples and the results were in agreement to those obtained by a comparative method described in the literature.
