Abstract: The electrochemical behavior of mitoxantrone interaction with DNAat a Ni/GCmodified electrode was studied by linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry. In0.05 mol/L Tris-0.5mol/L NaCl solution (pH=7.1), the reaction of DNAwith MXformed an electrochemically nonactive complex, resulting in a decrease in the MXequilibrium concentration and its reduction current. The composition of the complex was n (MX): n (DNA)=2:1. The combining constant was 1.61×1012. The electrode reaction rate constant k0 and the electron transfer coefficient α were 0.33 s-1 and 0.41, respectively. The decrease in peak current was proportional to DNAconcentration and can be used to determine DNAconcentration.
