It is necessary to study the possible interactions among various chemical surfaces and analytes before applying them to biological systems. We report the synthesis of carbon nanotubes-iron oxide (SPIONs-CNT) nanocomposite material by using lecithin stabilized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) obtained by facile hydrothermal technique. Various characterizations of the obtained nanocomposite were carried out and electrochemical studies were performed further to study the interaction capabilities of the nanocomposite with anti-TB drug Rifampicin. Obtained results by cyclic voltammetric studies of SPIONs-CNT nanocomposite with limit of detection (LOD) of 1.178 μM showed the enhanced electrochemical sensitivity and selectivity of anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drug Rifampicin (RIF).
