Electrochemical behavior of Telmisartan and optimum conditions for its assay were investigated by using cyclic voltammetry and square-wave voltammetry. All studies were based on the quasi-reversible and adsorption-controlled electrochemical reduction signal of TS at about -1.50 V versus Ag/AgCl at pH 10.0 in Britton-Robinson buffer. The peak current was found to change linearly with concentration from 1.69 nM (0.87 μg/L) to 27.5 nM (14.15 μg/ L). The limit of detection and the limit of quantification were found to be 1.05 nM (0.54 μg/L) and 3.49 nM (1.79 μg/L), respectively. The method was successfully applied to different samples with good recoveries at about 100%. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH&Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
