Abstract: To whom correspondence should be addressed. In a 0.02 mol/L BR buffer solution(pH=5.52), the electrochemical behaviour of nicardipine hydrochloride was studied by linearsweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry at a Co/GC ion implantation modified electrode. The experiments showed that the electrode had a good stability, reproductivity. The peak height was proportional to the concentration of nicardipine over the range of 4.0×10-7—1.0×10-4 mol/L, the detection limit was 1.0×10-7 mol/L. This method has been used for the direct determination of nicardipine in tablets. Its recoveries were in the range from 95.6% to 103.8%. The reduction of nicardipine at the Co/GC electrode was an irreversible proccess.
