A method of purifying cyclododecyl 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate as a potential replacement template molecule for preparation of molecularly-imprinted polymers for isolation of zearalenone in urine was developed. Full physicochemical characteristics of cyclododecyl 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate for the first time included crystallographic analysis and molecular modelling, which made possible the determination of the similarity between the cyclododecyl 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate and zearalenone molecules. The obtained molecularly-imprinted polymers show very high in vitro selectivity towards zearalenone due to specific interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding, molecular recognition interaction). The achieved extraction recovery exceeds 94% at the tested concentration levels (20–500 ng·mL−1) with a relative standard deviation below 2%. Immunosorbents were found to have lower recoveries (below 92.5%) and RSD value between 2 and 4% for higher concentrations of the studied substance (400 ng·mL−1).

AbstractIn this study, a novel method based on genistein magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (Gen-MMIPs) was developed utilizing a surface molecular imprinting technique, in which genistein was used as the template molecule and Fe3O4 was used as the carrier. The synthesis of Gen-MMIPs was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which indicated that the diameter of the Gen-MMIPs was approximately 500 nm. Via analysis with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), the saturation magnetization of Gen-MMIPs was determined to be 24.79 emu g−1. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy showed that polymer groups were on the surface of the magnetic carrier. Adsorption experiments suggested that the genistein adsorption capability of Gen-MMIPs was 5.81 mg g−1, and adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 20 min. Gen-MMIPs as dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) adsorbents combined with HPLC were used to selectively separate genistein in soy sauce samples, and the recoveries ranged from 85.7 to 88.5% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 5%, which proved that this method can be used for the detection of genistein residues in real samples.

Chloramphenicol- (CAP-) restricted access media-molecularly imprinted polymers (CAP-RAM-MIPs) were prepared by precipitation polymerization using CAP as a template molecule, 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DEAEM) as a functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate (EDMA) as a crosslinking agent, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as an outer hydrophilic functional monomer, and acetonitrile as a pore former and solvent. The CAP-RAM-MIPs were successfully characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The adsorption performance was investigated in detail using static, dynamic, and selective adsorption experiments. Adsorption equilibrium could be reached within 11 min. The CAP-RAM-MIPs had a high adsorption rate and good specific adsorption properties. Scatchard fitting curves indicated there were two binding sites for CAP-RAM-MIPs. Adsorption was Freundlich multilayer adsorption and consistent with the quasi-second kinetic model. Using CAP-RAM-MIPs for selective separation and enrichment CAP in bovine serum in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), CAP recovery ranged from 94.1 to 97.9% with relative standard deviations of 0.7–1.5%. This material has broad application prospects in enrichment and separation.

Herein, a novel method for molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) using methacrylic acid functionalized beta-cyclodextrin (MAA-β-CD) monomer is presented, which was designed as a potential water-compatible composite for the controlled release of atropine (ATP). The molecularly imprinted microspheres with pH-sensitive characteristics were fabricated using thermally-initiated precipitation polymerization, employing ATP as a template molecule. The effects of different compounds and concentrations of cross-linking agents were systematically investigated. Uniform microspheres were obtained when the ratio between ATP, MAA-β-CD, and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) was 1:4:20 (mol/mol/mol) in polymerization system. The ATP loading equilibrium data was best suited to the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The in vitro drug release study was assessed under simulated oral administration conditions (pH 1.5 and 7.4). The potential usefulness of MIPs as drug delivery devices are much better than non-molecularly imprinted polymers (NIPs). The study shows that the prepared polymers are a pH stimuli-responsive system, which controlled the release of ATP, indicating the potential applications in the field of drug delivery.

This study presents a new strategy for the detection of enrofloxacin (ENR) in food samples by the use of monodisperse ENR molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). Using enrofloxacin as template molecule, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, and ethylene diglycidyl ether as cross-linker, surface molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared on the surface of polymeric glycidyl methacrylate-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PGMA-EDMA) microspheres. The surface morphology and imprinting behavior of PGMA-EDMA@MIPs were investigated and optimized. Synthesized PGMA-EDMA@MIPs showed good physical and chemical stability and specific recognition toward fluoroquinolones. The introduction of PGMA-EDMA microspheres greatly increased the adsorption area of PGMA-EDMA@MIPs and increased the adsorption capacity of target molecules. The core shell structure increased the adsorption rate, and adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 6 min, much higher than that of MIPs synthesized by traditional methods. Enrofloxacin in milk samples was detected by molecular imprinting solid phase extraction (MISPE) combined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Implementing this method resulted in a recovery rate of 94.6~109.6% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 3.2%. The limit of detection (LOD) of this method was identified as three times the signal-to-noise ratio (10 μg/L). In summary, this work proposed a sensitive, rapid, and convenient method for the determination of trace ENR in food samples.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared by precipitation polymerization with ginsenoside Rg1 as the template molecule. The morphology of MIPs was characterized by scanning electronmicroscope (SEM) and its static adsorption capacity was measured by the Scatchard equation. Scatchard analysis revealed that the homogeneous binding sites were formed in the polymers. The application of MIPs with high affinity toward the template molecule might offer a novel method for the enrichment and determination of active compounds in the traditional herbal medicine.

The emergence of colistin resistance gen has aroused public concern. It is significant to assess the concentrations of polymyxins residues in aquatic environment since resistant bacteria carrying colistin resistance gen are frequently isolated from wastewater; surface water and ground water. However; no literature on the determination of polymyxins in water is available; probably due to the absence of an efficient extraction method. Accordingly; molecularly imprinted polymers were synthesized by precipitation polymerization with colistin as the template. The polymers were successfully used as sorbents for the determination of polymyxins from water based on molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet detection. The molecularly imprinted cartridge showed excellent affinity and cross-reactivity to analytes in aqueous media. Recoveries obtained from water samples were between 65.9% and 90.1%, with relative standard deviations lower than 10.2%. Limits of detection were between 1.0 and 2.0 μg L−1 concentration levels. Compared with C18 cartridge; the molecularly imprinted cartridge could remove more interference from co-extracted matrices. This method is practical for the routine monitoring of polymyxin residues in environmental water; which will benefit studies on drug-resistance and occurrence of polymyxins in the environment.
