The electrochemical behaviors of lomefloxacin at a single-wall carbon nanotube-modified glassy carbon electrode have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry.In a Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 4.5),lomefloxacin yields a sensitive and well-defined oxidation peak at ca.1.24 V (vs.SCE) on the modified electrode.Compared with the bare glassy carbon electrode,the oxidation peak current of lomefloxacin significantly increases and the oxidation peak potential positively shifts.Under the optimal conditions,the interaction of lomefloxacin with bovine serum albumin is also investigated.The results indicate that an electrochemically inactive supramolecular complex is formed and the formation of complex between lomefloxacin and bovine serum albumin is an intercalation mechanism.The proposed methods offer a reference for the studies on the biological effects and action mechanism of lomefloxacin with albumins in vivo.
