The marine octocoral crude extract (PDCE) was characterized and analyzed by LC-HRMS, revealing the presence of 16 different organic molecules. The corrosion inhibition was evaluated via weight loss study and electrochemical techniques. The obtained polarization curves showed that PDCE acts as a mixed-type inhibitor and gravimetric, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and Linear Polarization Resistance analyses reached an average maximum anticorrosive efficiency of 93.4% at 1 g L<sup>-1</sup>. The data crossing between gravimetric and electrochemical measurements indicated that the protection mechanism is due to adsorption, blocking electro-active sites. The adsorption data followed the Freundlich theory and SEM/EDX images confirmed the formation of a protective multilayer film.Analytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12420200430A New Electrochemical Sensor for Determination of Zolpidem by Carbon Paste Electrode Modified with SnS@SnO2NP45846739215ENEbrahim NaghianDepartment of Chemistry, South Tehran Branch Islamic Azad University, Tehran, 1777613651, IranEsmail SohouliYoung Researchers and Elites Club, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20200316Zolpidem is a drug that is easily attached to the GABA receptors in the brain. This property makes it very effective for tranquilizing as well as hypnagogia. According to the advantages of electrochemical analysis like high selectivity, high sensitivity, low concentration of analyte, cost-effective, portable and easy-to-use setup, they gained high amount of attention among scientists for determination of different compounds.

Traditional analysis methods usually involve a pre-treatment step before analysis and this consumes time and organic solvents. This work describes direct potentiometric method by using ion selective electrode to determine Montelukast Sodium in its pure drug substance and in tablet formulation and for inline monitoring of its release from its tablet form without any sample pretreatment. A Sensor was fabricated using PVC based membrane containing tetradodecyl ammonium bromide (TDB) being as an anionic exchanger and 2-nitrophenyl-octyl-ether (2-NPOE) being a plasticizer. The validation of the proposed method was done according to International union of pure and applied chemistry recommendations, in which the proposed sensor show a linear dynamic range from 1.0×10<sup>-6</sup> to 1.0×10<sup>-2</sup> mol/L. The proposed sensor was applied to determine Montelukast sodium in bulk powder, tablets dosage form with no extraction. The sensor was also used as bench-top real-time analyser for in process tracking of Montelukast sodium concentration during monitoring of its dissolution behaviour, under U.S. Food and Drug Administration dissolution regulations, with clear discrimination from its common excipients. Results obtained by the proposed potentiometric method were compared with those obtained by the official HPLC method.Analytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12420200430Influence of Electrolyte Composition and Voltage on the Microstructure and Growth Mechanism of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) Coatings on Tantalum: A Review51753539219ENArash Fattah-alhosseiniDepartment of Materials Engineering, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan 65178-38695, IranMaryam MolaeiDepartment of Materials Engineering, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan 65178-38695, IranKazem BabaeiDepartment of Materials Engineering, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan 65178-38695, IranJournal Article20200312Recently, PEO process of tantalum has been developed as a method of producing corrosion-resistant, hard, wear-resistant, and biocompatible as well as having good adhesion coatings. In this review, we present the results of PEO process of tantalum in three main electrolytes. This review tries to measure the effect of electrolyte composition and voltage that were used within PEO procedure on the surface behavior of the produced oxide coatings on Ta. The results of the PEO treatment of Ta in H<sub>4</sub>SiW<sub>12</sub>O<sub>40</sub> electrolyte revealed that the morphology of oxide coatings really depends on the PEO procedure time. Density of discharge channels declines as their diameter rises. This leads to an increase in the oxide coating roughness within the PEO procedure of tantalum. In electrolytes of β-glycerophosphate disodium and calcium acetate, the results indicated that the employed voltage significantly affected morphologies, the coatings bond strength and the phase components. However, it affected surface chemical species a little. Finally, in 0.5 M Ca (H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub> electrolytes, the results revealed that using a precise control on the procedure voltage, tuning the obtained coatings thickness is possible in addition to their roughness, adhesion strength and relative values of the electrolyte type inside the modified surfaces of tantalum.Analytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry is an international scientific journal, which is published online every 3 months (since 2009), every 2 months (since 2011) and monthly (since 2018) by Center of Excellence in Electrochemistry, University of TehranAnalytical and Bioanalytical Electrochemistry-12420200430Biomedical Application of a Novel Nanostructured-based Electrochemical Platform for Therapeutic Monitoring of an Antiepileptic Drug; Gabapentin53655239220ENAtieh ZabihollahpoorBiofuel and Renewable Energy Research Center, Department of Chemical Engineering, BabolNoshirvani University of Technology, Babol, IranMostafa RahimnejadBiofuel and Renewable Energy Research Center, Department of Chemical Engineering, BabolNoshirvani University of Technology, Babol, IranGhasem Najafpour-DarziBiotechnology Research Laboratory, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, BabolNoshirvani University of Technology, Babol, IranAli Akbar MoghadamniaFaculty of Pharmacology, Babol University of Medical Sciences, Babol, IranJournal Article20200320Herein, gold nanoparticle had been successfully synthesized through a simple, inexpensive and clean electrochemical technique.
