We report the design and fabrication of a reagentless and reusable electrochemical sensor for detection of satraplatin (SAT), a platinum(IV) prodrug. The detection strategy is based on the electrocatalytic reaction between the Pt(IV) center of SAT and surface-immobilized methylene blue. We systematically evaluated the effect of passivating diluent chain length on the overall sensor performance. Our results show that the use of a shorter diluent like 2-mercaptoethanol is more advantageous than using a longer and more passivating diluent such as 6-mercapto-1-hexanol. Independent of the use of cyclic voltammetry or chronoamperometry as the sensor interrogation technique, all three sensors, each passivated with a different alkanethiol diluent, have been demonstrated to be sensitive; the limit of detection is in the range of 1–10 μM. They are also highly specific and do not respond to Pt(II) drugs such as cisplatin and carboplatin. More importantly, they are selective enough to be employed directly in 50% serum. This sensing strategy has potential applications in clinical pharmacokinetics studies.
