Despite the tremendous efforts made in the past decades, severe side/toxic effects and poor bioavailability still represent the main challenges that hinder the clinical translation of drug molecules. This has turned the attention of investigators towards drug delivery vehicles that provide a localized and controlled drug delivery. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as novel and versatile drug delivery vehicles have been widely studied in recent years due to the advantages of selective recognition, enhanced drug loading, sustained release, and robustness in harsh conditions. This review highlights the design and development of strategies undertaken for MIPs used as drug delivery vehicles involving different drug delivery mechanisms, such as rate-programmed, stimuli-responsive and active targeting, published during the course of the past five years.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) selective for the phenolic contaminant 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) were prepared and evaluated in three porogens of differing character (hexane, acetonitrile, dichloromethane). Rebinding of 2,4,6-TCP was found to be most effective in dichloromethane (imprinting factor: 13.2). Competitive binding studies performed against a range of close structural analogues showed a high preference for the target molecule, although partial recognition towards 2,4-dichlorophenol was also observed. Specificity was found to be dependent upon the presence of ring chlorine on the target, which suggested that these atoms participate in secondary binding interactions that are essential for successful recognition in the polymer cavity.

Molecularly imprinted polymers have been shown to be useful in competitive biomimetic binding assays. Recent developments in materials science have further enhanced the capabilities of imprinted polymers. Binding assays, biological and biomimetic alike, owe their usefulness to their selectivity. The selectivity of competitive binding assays has been characterized with the cross-reactivity, which is usually expressed as the ratio of the measured IC50 concentration values of the interferent and the analyte, respectively. Yet this cross-reactivity is only a rough estimate of analytical selectivity. The relationship between cross-reactivity and analytical selectivity has apparently not been thoroughly investigated. The present work shows that this relationship depends on the underlying model of the competitive binding assay. For the simple but widely adopted model, where analyte and interferent compete for a single kind of binding site, we provide a simple formula for analytical selectivity. For reasons of an apparent mathematical problem, this formula had not been found before. We also show the relationship between analytical selectivity and cross-reactivity. Selectivity is also shown to depend on the directly measured quantity, e.g., the bound fraction of the tracer. For those cases where the one-site competitive model is not valid, a practical procedure is adopted to estimate the analytical selectivity. This procedure is then used to analyze the example of the competitive two-site binding model, which has been the main model for describing molecularly imprinted polymer behavior. The results of this work provide a solid foundation for assay development.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) as an adsorbent has been synthesized using β-sitosterol as molecule template on free radical polymerization reaction. The capacity and selectivity of the adsorption from MIP to β-sitosterol was studied in this study. The β-sitosterol concentration in the adsorption-desorption test and the MIP selectivity test were analyzed by UV-visible and HPLC. The MIP obtained from the synthesis results in a high adsorption capacity. Based on the Freundlich adsorption isothermal equation, the adsorption capacity (k) was found to be 1.24 mg/g. The MIP can adsorb 100 % β-sitosterol while cholesterol was only 3 %. The MIP is most selective to β-sitosterol, therefore, has high potential to apply as adsorbent at solid phase extraction method to isolate β-sitosterol from sample extract.
