A carbon paste electrode modified with 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid (BMIPF6) and CuO nanoparticles (CuO/NPs) (CPE/BMIPF 6 /CuO/NPs) was fabricated and used for square wave voltammetric analysis of levodopa in the presence of vitamin B 6 . The elemental analysis, SEM and XRD methods were used for characterization of synthesized CuO nanoparticle. CPE/BMIPF 6 /CuO/NPs exhibited high electrical conductivity toward the electro‐oxidation of levodopa at a pH=7.0 as best experimental condition. Using CPE/BMIPF 6 /CuO/NPs the levodopa and vitamin B 6 peaks are separated and oxidized at potentials of 0.565 V and 0.835 V, respectively; hence levodopa can be detected in the presence of vitamin B 6 . The electrochemical response shows a linear relationship from concentration of levodopa and vitamin B 6 in the ranges of 0.06‐1000 μM and 0.1‐700.0 μM, respectively. Finally, CPE/BMIPF 6 /CuO/NPs were applied as high performance tool for determination of levodopa and vitamin B 6 in real samples.
