Abstract
Disclosed is an electrode suitable for the electrochemical regeneration of the co-enzymes NADH and NADPH. The electrode has imparted on its surface a mediator function which is a 3-methylene-3H-phenothiazine or a 3-methylene-3H-phenoxazine compound.
Claims15
An electrode for the electrochemical regeneration of the coenzymes dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) or analogs thereof wherein there has been imparted to the electrode surface a mediator comprising one or more mediator compounds selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted 3-methylene-3H-phenothiazine and 3-methylene-3H-phenoxazine compounds represented by the formula:
- ##STR18## wherein Z is oxygen or sulfur, R is hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, halo, nitro, substituted or unsubstituted amino, keto, carboxy or alkoxycarbonyl and X and Y are electron withdrawing groups.
