Background: Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs), a type of biomimetic materials have attracted considerable interest owing to their cost-effectiveness, good physiochemical stability, favorable specificity and selectivity for target analytes, and long shelf life. These materials are able to mimic natural recognition entities, including biological receptors and antibodies, providing a versatile platform to achieve the desirable functionality for various biomedical applications. Objective: In this review article, we introduce the most recent development of MIPs to date. We first highlight the advantages of using MIPs for a broad range of biomedical applications. We then review their various methods of synthesis along with their latest progress in biomedical applications, including biosensing, drug delivery, cell imaging and drug discovery. Lastly, the existing challenges and future perspectives of MIPs for biomedical applications are briefly discussed. Conclusion: We envision that MIPs may be used as potential materials for diverse biomedical applications in the near future.

AbstractThis work presents the study on the recognition and absorption of the water-soluble X-ray contrast medium iodixanol in aqueous solution using synthetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). A non-covalent imprinting technique was applied to prepare iodixanol-imprinted polymers using 4-vinylpyridine as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker. The effects of quantity of iodixanol templates, the crosslink density, and the solvent were studied in terms of the binding capacity and imprint effect of the polymers. UV-vis spectrometric analysis shows that the highest binding capacity achieved is 284 mg iodixanol per gram of dry polymer, which is 8.8 times higher than the binding capacity of the non-imprinted control polymers (NIPs). SEM and BET surface analysis have also been performed to investigate the effect of morphology and porosity on the binding capacities of polymers.
