Excessive adenosine can lead to arrhythmias or heart failure, making the accurate detection of adenosine highly valuable. Given the widespread use of sensors for detecting small molecules, we propose a sensitive electrochemical aptasensor for adenosine detection in this study. The aptasensor utilized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the base material, and its performance was further enhanced by loading gold-platinum nanoparticles (AuPt@rGO) to improve the current response. The AuPt@rGO composite was synthesized using a simple process and was modified onto screen-printed electrodes (SPE) fabricated in the laboratory. This modification increased the effective area of the working electrode, providing more contact sites and enhancing sensitivity for adenosine detection. As a result, the sensor exhibited excellent performance in selectivity, sensitivity, and stability, with a linear response range for adenosine from 10 nM to 10 μM and a detection limit of 1.28 nM (n = 3). Furthermore, successful detection of adenosine levels in real samples was achieved using a portable potentiostat, demonstrating excellent recovery rates (95.99 %-103.4 %).

About three-quarters of all reactions determining the metabolism of endogenous compounds, of those carried in foods, of taken drugs, or even of synthetic chemicals discarded into the environment depend on their catalytic performance. The chromatographic and (photo)luminometric methods routinely used as predictive and analytical tools in laboratories have significant drawbacks ranging from limited shelf-life of reagents, use of synthetic substrates, laborious and tedious procedures for highly sensitive detection. In this review, alternative electrochemical biosensors using the cytochrome P450 enzymes as bio-element are emphasized in their main aspects as well regarding their implementation and usefulness. Despite the various schemes proposed for the implementation, reports on real applications are scant for several reasons, including low reaction rates, broad substrate specificity, uncoupling reactions occurrence, and the need for expensive electron transfer partners to promote electron transfer. Finally, the prospect for future developments is introduced, focusing on integrating miniaturized systems with electrochemical techniques, alongside optimizing enzyme immobilization methods and electrode modifications to improve enzymatic stability and enhance sensor reliability.
