investigation of electrochemical behavior of mesalazine in the presence of amino acids

Abstract: electrochemical oxidation of mesalazine in the presence of l-cysteine, and l-methionine as essential and semi-essential amino acids in aqueous solution was performed using cyclic voltammetry and potential colometric techniques on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode [1]. the results showed that quinone imine induced by mesalazine oxidation reacts with amino acids. quinone imine reacts with l-cysteine via catalytic (ec '), and with l-methionine via ec mechanism [2]. in this work, the final products were synthesized using potential and current controlled condition in aqueous solution through a catalyst‐free environmentally friendly method, without toxic reagents and solvents at a carbon electrode in a single cell, at room temperature under green conditions. the final products after separation and purification, were studied and by nmr, ir and ms spectroscopic methods [3].
