Hypothesis
The study investigates the oxidative behavior of Auranofin using cyclic voltammetry.
Conclusion
The study found two irreversible oxidation processes for Auranofin at +1.1 V and +1.6 V.
Supporting Evidence
- The study shows that the electrochemical response of Auranofin is sensitive to adsorption at the electrode.
- Repeated cycling of Auranofin leads to a build-up of products at the electrode.
- The two oxidation processes were found to be irreversible at all scan rates investigated.
Takeaway
The researchers looked at how Auranofin behaves when electricity is passed through it, finding two key points where it changes.
Methodology
Cyclic voltammetry experiments were conducted using a three-electrode system in methylene chloride with specific supporting electrolytes.
