The development of a semiautomated procedure for the synthesis and screening of a large group of molecularly imprinted polymers

A method for synthesis and evaluation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on a semiautomated miniature scale is reported. This technique combines molecular imprinting with the combinatorial chemistry approach, allowing rapid screening and optimizations of libraries of MIPs. The polymers were prepared and evaluated in situ by rebinding utilizing powder dispensing and liquid handling systems. MIPs were prepared by a combinatorial approach using methacrylic acid (MAA), 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP), acrylamide, and styrene as functional monomers, and acetonitrile and toluene as porogenic solvents. A drug substance having aromatic, hydroxyl, -O-CONH2 functional groups was selected as the template molecule for this study. The MIP library results demonstrated that the polymer prepared with MAA as functional monomer shows the strongest binding affinity, and therefore, is preferred for the preparation of this particular template molecule. Due to the low consumption of reagents, and more importantly, the demonstrated ability of this method to effectively identify optimal imprinting conditions, this small-scale combinatorial protocol is well suited for fast and efficient screening and optimizations of MIPs.     

Fabrication of molecularly imprinted hybrid monoliths via a room temperature ionic liquid-mediated nonhydrolytic sol-gel route for chiral separation of zolmitriptan by capillary electrochromatography

A room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL)-mediated nonhydrolytic sol-gel (NHSG) protocol was explored for the fabrication of new molecularly imprinted silica-based hybrid monoliths for chiral separation of a basic template zolmitriptan by CEC. The RTIL-mediated NHSG protocol involved free-radical copolymerization and NHSG process. Three carboxylic acids (trifluoromethyl acrylic acid, cinnamic acid, and methacrylic acid (MAA)) were examined as both the functional monomers and the catalysts for the NHSG condensation of methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) to form silica-based framework. RTIL was incorporated to reduce gel shrinkage and also to act as the pore template. The effects of carboxylic acids and RTIL on the performance of the silica-based hybrid molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) monoliths were investigated in detail to realize excellent chiral recognition and to give new insights into the mechanism of the RTIL-mediated NHSG strategy. Excellent chiral separation of (R)/(S)-zolmitriptan was achieved when the molar ratio of MAA to MPTMS was 1:4 and 1:2 with RTIL involved. The synergism of the free-radical copolymerization of the C=C bond of carboxylic acids and MPTMS with the NHSG condensation of MPTMS catalyzed by the carboxylic acids was demonstrated. The incorporation of RTIL increased porosity, and hence improved selectivity of the prepared hybrid monoliths.     

Highly stereoselective, uniformly sized molecularly imprinted polymers for cinchona alkaloids in hydro-organic mobile phases.

Highly stereoselective, uniformly sized molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for cinchona alkaloids, cinchonine (CN) and cinchonidine (CD), were prepared using methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linker. The MIPs were evaluated using a mixture of phosphate buffer and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The CN- and CD-imprinted MAA-co-EDMA polymers can recognize the respective template molecule more than the other diastereomer, and afford an excellent diastereomer separation of CN and CD. In addition, the MIPs gave diastereomer separations of structurally related compounds, quinidine and quinine. The retentive and stereoselective properties of those compounds on the MIPs suggest that electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions can work to recognize these compounds. Furthermore, thermodynamic studies reveal that the entropy-driven effect is significant at mobile-phase pH 5.4, while the enthalpy-driven interactions seem to be dominant at mobile-phase pH 9.6.     

Development and characterisation of a molecularly imprinted polymer prepared by precipitation polymerisation for the determination of phenylurea herbicides

New materials based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been developed for use as sorbents in solid phase extraction to preconcentrate some urea herbicides. In the preconcentration step, different molecularly imprinted polymers were tested using methacrylic acid (MAA) and 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid (TFMAA) as functional monomers, and linuron and isoproturon as templates. The best results were obtained when the polymer was synthesised using MAA with isoproturon as template. Another parameter evaluated was the way in which the polymer was obtained. We observed that the imprinted polymers obtained by precipitation displayed a greater capacity to retain the phenylureas. Studies conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the bulk polymerisation method is far from ideal owing to the random shape and size distribution of the particles obtained, whereas when polymerisation was carried out in precipitation microspheres were obtained. In order to confirm the interaction between the functional monomer and the template, 1H NMR (CD2Cl2) analyses were conducted. The results obtained suggest that the hydrogen and/or nitrogen of the amino group of the template would be involved in the formation of hydrogen bonds with the functional monomer. The imprinted polymer obtained by precipitation polymerisation with MAA as functional monomer and isoproturon as template can be applied to preconcentrate phenylureas when the sample is dissolved in toluene. The proposed methodology was employed to evaluate polymer selectivity towards humic acids and towards other herbicides.

Synthesis and evaluation of new lipomonosaccharide-imprinted polymers as MISPE supports

Molecular imprinted polymers (MIP) were prepared by the copolymerization of styrene (S) or methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinker with molar ratios of [monomer]/[crosslinker] and [MAA]/[template] of 3:7 (to obtain a rigid structure) and 1:6 (to optimise hydrogen interactions), respectively. The polymerizations occurred in presence of the template molecule (MIP) - GlcNcouma - an amphiphilic monosaccharide. The same materials, non-imprinted polymers (NIP), were also prepared in absence of the template. These MIPs were characterized and used as SPE supports for selective enrichment. The results showed the correlation between retention efficiency and the porogen character of the polymerization solvent.

Development and application of molecularly imprinted polymers as solid-phase sorbents for erythromycin extraction

Six molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of erythromycin (ERY) were prepared by noncovalent bulk polymerization using methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer. On the basis of binding analysis, the MIPs with 1:2 optimum ratio of template to MAA were selected for subsequent scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analyses, which indicated that the MIPs had more convergent porous structures than the nonimprinted polymers. The equilibrium binding experiments showed that the binding sites of MIPs were heterogeneous, with two dissociation constants of 0.005 and 0.63 mg mL⁻¹, respectively. Furthermore, the performance of the MIPs as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents was evaluated, and the selectivity analysis showed that the MIPs could recognize ERY with moderate cross-reactivity for other macrolides. The overall investigation of molecularly imprinted SPE for cleanup and enrichment of the ERY in pig muscle and tap water confirmed the feasibility of utilizing the MIPs obtained as specific SPE sorbents for ERY extraction in real samples.

Open tubular layer of S‐ofloxacin imprinted polymer fabricated in silica capillary for chiral CEC separation

An open tubular molecule imprinted polymer (OT‐MIP) capillary column has been prepared for chiral separation of ofloxacin enantiomers in CEC. The S‐ofloxacin imprinted OT column was fabricated by thermally initiated non‐covalent polymerization procedure inside a pretreated and silanized fused silica capillary. The template molecule was incorporated with methacrylic acid (MAA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) and 4‐styrenesulfonic acid (4‐SSA) and dissolved in a porogen mixture of ACN/2‐propanol (9:1). The separation efficiency of the 4‐SSA MIP column was found quite better than that of the MIP column without 4‐SSA. It has been demonstrated that our OT‐MIP column can separate ofloxacin enantiomers with excellent chiral separation efficiency after tuning the various chromatographic conditions. The optimized chromatographic eluent was 85:15, v/v%, ACN/60 mM sodium acetate at pH 7. The separation efficiency and selectivity of chiral separation of this study were far better than those obtained by previous methods for chiral separation of R‐ and S‐ofloxacin.

Evidence for shape selectivity in non-covalently imprinted polymers

The existence of shape selectivity in non-covalent molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) has been proven using molecular probes. Twelve secondary amines with different sized side chains were imprinted, and enantioselectivity evaluated by HPLC for each amine on each imprinted polymer. Trends in the quantitative structure-binding relationships (QSBR) revealed two major contributions of cavity structure on selectivity afforded by molecularly imprinted polymers. First, sterics play a dominant role in cases where a molecules structure is too big too fit into an imprinted site formed from a smaller template molecule; e.g. on MIPs made with small templates, large analytes give separation factors (α) close to 1.0 (no selectivity), while small analytes give α values of 1.4. Second, molecular structures that are equal to or smaller than those of the template molecule are selected by maximizing Van der Waals interactions within the MIP binding site. Thus, MIPs made with large analytes give α values up to 2.5, while small analytes on the same MIPs give α values closer to 1.1. Template structure also has an effect on MIP enantioselectivity; e.g. branched structures exhibit a 1.7-fold improvement in separation factors (α) by MIPs made for isopropyl versus propyl derivatives, and cyclohexyl versus hexyl derivatives. Full details of these trends are provided in the text.

Study on the mechanism of chiral recognition with molecularly imprinted polymers

This study aimed at elucidating the chiral recognition mechanism with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in aqueous environment. The system used ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and 4-l-phenylalanylamino-pyridine (4-l-PheNHPy) as the cross-linking monomer, functional monomer and template, respectively, to assemble the imprinted polymer. A self-assembly mechanism, which includes the pre-organizing functional monomers around template before polymerization process, was proposed. This mechanism was supported by NMR titration test. Interactions between functional monomer and template were observed using UV-Vis spectroscopy of solutions of these components as well. These studies indicated a 1:2 molecular complex dominantly formed between 4-l-PheNHPy and MAA. Association constant was estimated to be 97,000 M⁻². Based on these results, a model mainly involving two-spot interaction was proposed evolving from our reported concept of exact placement of functional group. Ionic interaction between the primary amino group of 4-l-PheNHPy and carboxylic acid group inside the microcavity on MIPs was believed to play a predominate role in the enantioselectivity as supported by the observation of the relationship between the retention factor of 4-l-PheNHPy and the pH of mobile phase. While thermodynamic study at different pH revealed that, the interaction between the pyridyl group of 4-l-PheNHPy and the carboxylic acid group on the MIPs is also strong, implying that it also plays a profound role in determining the highly chiral selectivity of MIPs.     

Biotin-specific synthetic receptors prepared using molecular imprinting

The composition of new molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) specific for biotin was optimised using molecular modelling software. Three functional monomers: methacrylic acid (MAA), 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid (TFAA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPSA), which demonstrated the highest binding scores with biotin, were tested on their ability to generate specific binding sites. The imprinted polymers were photografted to the surface of polystyrene microspheres in water. The affinity of the synthetic “receptor” sites was evaluated in binding experiments using horseradish peroxidase-labelled biotin. Good correlation was found between the modelling results and the performance of the materials in the template re-binding study. The dissociation constants for all MIPs were 1.4-16.8 nM, which is sufficient for most analytical applications where biotin is used as a label.     

Monodispersed, molecularly imprinted polymers for cinchonidine by precipitation polymerization

Three monodispersed, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for cinchonidine (CD) have been synthesized by precipitation polymerization. MIP1 was prepared using methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer and divinylbenzene (DVB) as a cross-linker and MIP2 was prepared with further addition of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as a co-monomer. For the preparation of MIP3, core-shell type MIP, monodispersed DVB homopolymers, which are prepared by precipitation polymerization, were used as a core and CD-imprinted MAA-DVB copolymer phases were coated onto the core. Three MIPs synthesized gave monodispersed, spherical beads in micrometer sizes. The binding characteristics and molecular recognition properties of MIP1-3 were examined by Scatchard analysis and chromatographic studies. The association constant of CD with MIP1 was the highest among MIPs prepared, while that with MIP3 was the lowest. The template molecule, CD, was more retained than its stereoisomer, cinchonine, on the three MIPs, and the stereoseparation factor of 38 was obtained with MIP3.     

Evaluation of new selective molecularly imprinted polymers prepared by precipitation polymerisation for the extraction of phenylurea herbicides

Three different molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been prepared by precipitation polymerisation using linuron (LIN) or isoproturon (IPN) (phenylurea herbicides) as templates and methacrylic acid (MAA) or trifluormethacrylic acid (TFMAA) as functional monomers. The ability of the different polymers to selectively rebind not only the template but also other phenylurea herbicides has been evaluated. In parallel, the influence of the different templates and functional monomers used during polymers synthesis on the performance of the obtained MIPs was also studied through different rebinding experiments. The experimental binding isotherms were fitted to the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm allowing to describe the kind of binding sites present in the imprinted polymers under study. It was concluded that TFMAA-based polymer using IPN as template presents the best properties to be used as a selective sorbent for the extraction of phenylurea herbicides.
