Voltammetric Application in Detection of Anticancer Drug

From the past few years the development of electrochemical sensor has gained more attention due to the fact that these methods have high sensetivity, less expensive and easy to handle when compared to other conventional methods. Cancer is one among the serious disease faced by the human race in the current era. Presently, It is treated with various treatments like chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. Since the impressive growth of these prime treatments, ample of anticancer drugs have been developed. Alongside in recent years, the synthesis of nanomaterials and their application in medicinal (biomedical) field has gained quite a focus in the research field. Due to smaller size, improved solubility. surface tailor ability, electrocatalytic activity, sensible detection and multifunctionality the nanomaterials are found to possess greater applications in the growing field of pharmaceutical research. The present chapter gives the reprots on the electrochemical detection of various anticancer drugs like Methotrexate (MTX), 5-Flourouracil, Doxorubicin and Etoposide.
