Despite the increasing number of applications of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) in analytical chemistry, the synthesis
of polymers with hemin introduced as the catalytic center to mimic the active site of peroxidase remains as a challenge. In
the current work, a new type of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized with 4-aminophenol (4-APh) as the template
and two monomers: hemin, which acts as the catalytic center, and methacrylic acid (MAA), which is used to build the active
sites. This work shows that MIP successfully mimics peroxidase. For this purpose, a flow injection analysis system coupled
to an amperometric detector was investigated through multivariate analysis. The determination of 4-APh was not affected by
the equimolar presence of structurally similar phenol compounds, including catechol, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, 2-aminophenol,
guaiachol, chloroguaiachol and 2-cresol, thus highlighting the good performance of the imprinted polymer. Under the optimized
experimental conditions, an analytical curve covering a wide linear response range from 0.8 up to 500 μmol L−1 (r > 0.999) was obtained, and the method gave satisfactory precisions (n = 8), as evaluated via the relative standard deviation (RSD), of 4.1 and 3.2% for solutions of 4-APh of 50 and 500 μmol L−1, respectively. Recoveries of 96–111% from water samples (tap water and river water) spiked with 4-APh were achieved, thus
illustrating the accuracy of the proposed system.

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer solid-phase extraction (MISPE) with flow-injection chemiluminescence (CL) was developed
for the determination of pazufloxacin mesilate (PZFX). The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized by using PZFX
as the imprinting molecule. A glass tube packed the particles of the MIP was employed as MISPE micro-column, which was connected
into the sampling loop of the eight-way injection valve for on-line selective preconcentration and extraction of PZFX. The
eluent of acetonitrile:acetic acid (9:1, v:v) was used as carrier for eluting the adsorbed PZFX to react with the mixture
of cerium(IV) and sodium sulfite in the flow cell to produce strong CL. The relative intensity of CL was linear to PZFX concentration
in the range from 2.5 × 10−9 to 2.5 × 10−7 g mL−1. The limit of detection was 7 × 10−10 g mL−1 (3 σ) and the relative standard deviation for 5 × 10−8 g mL−1of PZFX solution was 3.7% (n = 7). This method has been applied to the determination of PZFX in human urine. 相似文献
A novel and simple chemiluminescence (CL) method has been developed and validated for determination of metformin. This method
is based on hydroxyl radical chemiluminescence—the hydroxyl radical generated by reaction of Cu(II) and hydrogen peroxide
oxidizes rhodamine B (RhB) to produce weak CL which can be enhanced by metformin. At the same time, metformin molecularly
imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized. After enrichment based on the selectivity of metformin-MIP, the CL method was successfully
applied to the determination of metformin in human serum. The linear range was from 1.0×10−8 to 1.0×10−6 g mL−1 and the detection limit was 4×10−9 g mL−1. The relative standard deviation at 2.0×10−7 g mL−1 by use of MIP was 3.67% (n=7). 相似文献
A selective molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) for indomethacin (IDM) from water samples was developed.
Using IDM as template molecule, acrylamide (AM) or methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer, ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA)
as crosslinker, and bulk or suspension polymerization as the synthetic method, three molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)
were synthesized and characterized with a rebinding experiment. It was found that the MIP of AM-EDMA produced by bulk polymerization
showed the highest binding capacity for IDM, and so it was chosen for subsequent experiments, such as those testing the selectivity
and recognition binding sites. Scatchard analysis revealed that at least two kinds of binding sites formed in the MIP, with
the dissociation constants of 7.8 μmol L−1 and 127.2 μmol L−1, respectively. Besides IDM, three structurally related compounds — acemetacin, oxaprozin and ibuprofen — were employed for
selectivity tests. It was observed that the MIP exhibited the highest selective rebinding to IDM. Accordingly, the MIP was
used as a solid-phase extraction sorbent for the extraction and enrichment of IDM in water samples. The extraction conditions
of the MISPE column for IDM were optimized to be: chloroform or water as loading solvent, chloroform with 20% acetonitrile
as washing solution, and methanol as eluting solvent. Water samples with or without spiking were extracted by the MISPE column
and analyzed by HPLC. No detectable IDM was observed in tap water and the content of IDM in a river water sample was found
to be 1.8 ng mL−1. The extraction efficiencies of the MISPE column for IDM in spiked tap and river water were acceptable (87.2% and 83.5%,
respectively), demonstrating the feasibility of the prepared MIP for IDM extraction.

Cotinine, the main metabolite of nicotine in human body, is widely used as a biomarker for assessment of direct or passive
exposure to tobacco smoke. A method for molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) of cotinine from human urine
has been investigated. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with good selectivity and affinity for cotinine was synthesized
using cotinine as the template molecule, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as
the cross-linker. The imprinted polymer was evaluated for use as a SPE sorbent, in tests with aqueous standards, by comparing
recovery data obtained using the imprinted form of the polymer and a non-imprinted form (NIP). Extraction from the aqueous
solutions resulted in more than 80% recovery. A range of linearity for cotinine between 0.05 and 5 μg mL−1 was obtained by loading 1 mL blank urine samples spiked with cotinine at different concentrations in acetate buffer of pH
9.0, and by using double basic washing and acidic elution. The intra-day coefficient of variation (CV) was below 7% and inter-day
CV was below 10%. This investigation has provided a reliable MISPE–HPLC method for determination of cotinine in human urine
from both active smokers and passive smokers.

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.

A rapid, specific, and sensitive method has been developed using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as solid-phase extraction
sorbents for extraction of trace tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) in foodstuffs. MIPs were prepared by precipitation polymerization
using tetracycline as the template. Under the optimal condition, the imprinting factors for MIPs were 4.1 (oxytetracycline),
7.0 (tetracycline), 7.4 (chlortetracycline), 7.7 (doxycycline), respectively. Furthermore, the performance of MIPs as solid-phase
extraction sorbents was evaluated and high extraction efficiency of molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) procedure
was demonstrated. Compared with commercial sorbents, MISPE gave a better cleanup efficiency than C18 cartridge and a higher
recovery than Oasis HLB cartridge. Finally, the method of liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry coupled with molecular-imprinted
solid-phase extraction was validated in real samples including lobster, duck, honey, and egg. The spiked recoveries of TCs
ranged from 94.51% to 103.0%. The limits of detection were in the range of 0.1–0.3 μg kg−1.

A new post-chemiluminescence (PCL) phenomenon was observed when phenothiazine medications were injected into the reaction
mixture after the chemiluminescence (CL) reaction of luminol and potassium ferricyanide had finished. A possible reaction
mechanism was proposed based on studies of the kinetic characteristics of the CL, CL spectra, fluorescence spectra, and on
other experiments. The feasibility of determining various phenothiazine medications by utilizing these PCL reactions was examined.
A molecular imprinting–post-chemiluminescence (MI-PCL) method was established for the determination of chlorpromazine hydrochloride
using a chlorpromazine hydrochloride-imprinted polymer (MIP) as the recognition material. The method displayed high selectivity
and high sensitivity. The linear range of the method was 1.0×10−8∼1.0×10−6, with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9985. The detection limit was 3×10−9 g/ml chlorpromazine hydrochloride, and the relative standard deviation for a 1.0×10−7 g/ml chlorpromazine hydrochloride solution was 4.0% (n=11). The method has been applied to the determination of chlorpromazine hydrochloride in urine and animal drinking water
with satisfactory results.

Organophosphorus insecticides are widely employed in agriculture, and residues of them can remain after harvesting or storage.
Pesticide residue control is an important task for ensuring food safety. Common chromatographic methods used in the determination
of pesticide residues in food require clean-up and concentration steps prior to quantitation. While solid-phase extraction
has been widely employed for this purpose, there is a need to improve selectivity. Due to their inherent biomimetic recognition
systems, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) allow selectivity to be enhanced while keeping the costs of analysis low. In
this work, a MIP that was designed to enable the selective extraction of fenitrothion (FNT) from tomatoes was synthesized
using a noncovalent imprinting approach. The polymer was prepared using methacrylic acid as functional monomer and ethyleneglycol
dimethacrylate as crosslinking monomer in dichloromethane (a porogenic solvent). The polymer was characterized by Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nitrogen
sorption porosimetry. The pore structure and the surface area were evaluated using the BET adsorption method. To characterize
the batch rebinding behavior of the MIP, the adsorption isotherm was measured, allowing the total number of binding sites,
the average binding affinity and the heterogeneity index to be established. A voltammetric method of quantifying FNT during
the molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) studies was developed. The polymer was placed in extraction cartridges
which were then used to clean up and concentrate FNT in tomato samples prior to high-performance liquid chromatographic quantitation.
The material presented a medium extraction efficiency of 59% (for analyses performed with three different cartridges on three
days and a fortification level of 5.0 μg g−1) and selectivity when used in the preparation of tomato samples, and presented the advantage that the polymer could be reused
several times after regeneration.

Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency is a recently discovered inborn defect of creatine biosynthesis which reduces
serum creatinine concentrations to as low as 0.58 μg mL−1 (or 0.00058 μg mL−1 after 1,000-fold dilution). To measure ultra trace levels of creatinine in diluted samples, molecularly imprinted solid-phase
extraction (MISPE) and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensor techniques have been found to be inadequate. A combination
of these techniques (i.e. MISPE hyphenated with use of an MIP-sensor), reported in this paper, has been found to be highly
suitable for direct assay of creatinine in highly diluted human blood serum without complicated pretreatment of the sample.
The proposed technique has the potential to enhance the sensitivity of creatinine measurement from μg mL−1 to ng mL−1 in highly dilute aqueous samples in which the concentrations of interfering constituents are reduced to negligible levels.
In this work the sensitivity to creatinine was found to be improved compared with that of the MIP-sensor method alone (limit
of detection, LOD, 0.00149 μg mL−1). After preconcentration by MISPE and use of the sensor the detection limit for creatinine was as low as 0.00003 μg mL−1 (RSD = 0.94%, S/N = 3; 50-fold preconcentration factor) in aqueous samples. 相似文献
Pathogen detection is important for health and safety reasons. Several outbreaks all over the world have shown the need for
rapid, qualitative, quantitative, and, particularly, multianalyte detection systems. Hence, a multichannel flow-through chemiluminescence
microarray chip for parallel detection of pathogenic bacteria was developed. The disposable chip made of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene
(ABS) copolymer was devised as a support for a multiplexed sandwich immunoassay. Calibration and measurement was possible
in one experiment, because the developed chip contains six parallel flow-through microchannels. Polyclonal antibodies against
the pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Legionella pneumophila were immobilized on the chip by microcontact printing in order to use them as specific receptors. Detection of the captured
bacteria was carried out by use of specific detection antibodies labelled with biotin and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)–streptavidine
conjugates. The enzyme HRP generates chemiluminescence after adding luminol and hydrogen peroxide. This signal was observed
by use of a sensitive CCD camera. The limits of detection are 1.8 × 104 cells mL−1 for E. coli O157:H7, 7.9 × 104 cells mL−1 for L. pneumophila, and 2.0 × 107 cells mL−1 for S. typhimurium. The overall assay time for measurement and calibration is 18 min, enabling very fast analysis.

A newly designed molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized and successfully utilized as a recognition element of an amperometric sensor for 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) detection. The MIP with a well-defined structure could imitate the dehalogenative function of the natural enzyme chloroperoxidase for 2,4-DCP. Imprinted sensor was fabricated in situ on a glassy carbon electrode surface by drop-coating the 2,4-DCP imprinted microgel suspension and chitosan/Nafion mixture. Under optimized conditions, the sensor showed a linear response in the range of 5.0–100 μmol L−1 with a detection limit of 1.6 μmol L−1. Additionally, the imprinted sensor demonstrated higher affinity to target 2,4-DCP over competitive chlorophenolic compounds than non-imprinted sensor. It also exhibited good stability and acceptable repeatability. The proposed sensor could be used for the determination of 2,4-DCP in water samples with the recoveries of 96.2–111.8%, showing a promising potential in practical application. 相似文献
A highly selective and sensitive chemiluminescence method for the determination of triclosan is proposed. The method is based
on the phototransformation of triclosan to a light-emitting precursor in the presence of fluorescein in alkaline medium and
the chemiluminescence reaction is then triggered by strong base or oxidants such as N-bromosuccinimide. Based on this reaction an online phototransformation–flow injection manifold was developed, in which the
photoreactor comprises a 150-cm-long × 0.8-mm-i.d. piece of PTFE tubing coiled around a 25-W fluorescent lamp, and the phototransformed
products were then injected into a carrier stream of borate buffer. After mixing with the oxidant stream the produced light
was detected by a photomultiplier. A wide calibration range from 8.0 × 10−8 to 1.0 × 10−4 mol L−1 was obtained under the optimized conditions, and the detection limit was as low as 5.0 × 10−8 mol L−1. The whole process of analysis, including the online phototransformation and subsequent chemiluminescence detection, could
be completed in 6 min. Most of the foreign substances tested showed high tolerance levels, and the proposed method was directly
applied to the determination of triclosan in toothpaste samples without any pre-separation procedure.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared using bisphenol A (BPA) as a template by precipitation polymerization. The polymer that had the highest binding selectivity and ability was used as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents for direct extraction of BPA from different biological and environmental samples (human serum, pig urine, tap water and shrimp). The extraction protocol was optimized and the optimum conditions were as follows: conditioning with 5 mL methanol–acetic acid (3:1), 5 mL methanol, 5 mL acetonitrile and 5 mL water, respectively, loading with 5 mL aqueous samples, washing with 1 mL acetonitrile, and eluting with 3 mL methanol. MIPs can selectively recognize, effectively trap and preconcentrate BPA over a concentration range of 2–20 μM. Recoveries ranged from 94.03 to 105.3 %, with a relative standard deviation lower than 7.9 %. Under the optimal condition, molecularly imprinted SPE recoveries of spiked human serum, pig urine, tap water and shrimp were 65.80, 82.32, 76.00 and 75.97 %, respectively, when aqueous samples were applied directly. Compared with C18 SPE, a better baseline, better high-performance liquid chromatography separation efficiency and higher recoveries were achieved after molecularly imprinted SPE.

Recent efforts in the investigation of chromatographic characterization of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have focused
mainly on the nature of heterogeneous binding sites. More data on the thermodynamics than on the kinetic features of MIP columns
have been published. The present article addresses the sources of peak broadening and tailing, which are the main drawbacks
often associated with imprinted polymers in chromatography for practical applications. With use of the theory of nonlinear
chromatography, the peak properties of a MIP column, including the retention and peak broadening and tailing, can be well
interpreted. Efforts to improve chromatographic efficiency using MIPs prepared by approaches different from the conventional
method, including covalent imprinting and the format of uniformly sized spherical microbeads, are reviewed and discussed.
This review leads to the conclusion that nonlinear chromatography theory is useful for characterizing chromatographic features
of MIP columns, since a MIP is essentially an affinity-based chromatographic stationary phase. We expect more theoretical
and experimental studies on the kinetic aspects of MIP columns, especially the factors influencing the apparent rate constant,
as well as the analysis of the influences of mobile-phase composition on the chromatographic performance. In addition to revealing
the affinity interaction by molecular recognition, slow nonspecific interactions which may be inherited from the imperfect
imprinting and may be involved in the rebinding of the template to MIPs also need to be characterized.

A new flow injection chemiluminescent immunoassay was developed for the detection of 17β-estradiol (E2). The method uses p–iodophenol (PIP) as enhancer and is based on a solid-phase immunoassay format in which an E2–OVA immobilized immunoaffinity column inserted in the flow system is used to trap unbound horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled
anti-E2 antibody after an off-line incubation of E2 with HRP-labeled anti-E2 antibody. The trapped enzyme conjugate was detected by injecting substrates to produce an enhanced chemiluminescence (CL)
response. The linear range for E2 was 10.0–1,000.0 ng mL−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.996 and a detection limit of 3.0 ng mL−1. The sampling and chemiluminescence detection time for one sample was 400 s after a pre-incubation procedure of 30 min. Serum
samples detected by this method were in good agreement with the results obtained by EIA with E2–biotin.

Estrone is one of the important potential endocrine-disrupting compounds, and the sensitive and reliable analytical methods
for the determination of estrone are required for the assurance of human health. In this paper, using estrone as template
molecule, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as function monomer, and tetraethoxysilicane as cross-linker, a highly selective molecularly
imprinted microsphere was synthesized by surface molecular imprinting technique combined with a sol–gel process. The imprinted
material was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared and static adsorption experiments, and the results showed that
it exhibited good recognition and selective ability for estrone. A novel method for separation and determination of trace
estrone in environmental sample was developed using on-line molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction coupled to high-performance
liquid chromatography. With a sample loading flow rate of 2.6 mL min−1 for a 9.6-min extraction, the enrichment factor obtained by the slopes of the linear portion in comparison with the direct
injection of 10 μL standard sample solution was 1,045. The detection limit (S/N = 3) was 5.7 ng L−1, and the relative standard deviations for nine replicate extractions of 5.0 μg L−1 estrone was less than 10.0%. This method was evaluated for quantitative determination of estrone in well and lake water samples
spiked at two levels (0.5 and 1.0 μg L−1) with recoveries ranging from 86% to 95%.

A microfluidic system incorporating chemiluminescence detection is reported as a new tool for measuring antioxidant capacity.
The detection is based on a peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (PO-CL) assay with 9,10-bis-(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) as
the fluorescent probe and hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. Antioxidant plugs injected into the hydrogen peroxide stream result
in inhibition of the CL emission which can be quantified and correlated with antioxidant capacity. The PO-CL assay is performed
in 800-μm-wide and 800-μm-deep microchannels on a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchip. Controlled injection of the antioxidant
plugs is performed through an injection valve. Of the plant-food based antioxidants tested, β-carotene was found to be the
most efficient hydrogen peroxide scavenger (SAHP of 3.27 × 10−3 μmol−1 L), followed by α-tocopherol (SAHP of 2.36 × 10−3 μmol−1 L) and quercetin (SAHP of 0.31 × 10−3 μmol−1 L). Although the method is inherently simple and rapid, excellent analytical performance is afforded in terms of sensitivity,
dynamic range, and precision, with RSD values typically below 1.5%. We expect our microfluidic devices to be used for in-the-field
antioxidant capacity screening of plant-sourced food and pharmaceutical supplements.

In this paper, a highly selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for tramadol hydrochloride, a drug used to treat moderate
to severe pain, was prepared and its use as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent was demonstrated. The molecularly imprinted
solid-phase extraction procedure followed by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detector (MISPE-HPLC)
was developed for selective extraction and determination of tramadol in human plasma and urine. The optimal conditions for
molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) consisted of conditioning with 1 mL methanol and 1 mL of deionized water
at neutral pH, loading of tramadol sample (50 μg L−1) at pH 7.5, washing using 1 mL acetone and elution with 3 × 1 mL of 10% (v/v) acetic acid in methanol. The MIP selectivity
was evaluated by checking several substances with similar molecular structures to that of tramadol. Results from the HPLC
analyses showed that the calibration curve of tramadol (using MIP from human plasma and urine) is linear in the ranges of
6–100 and 3–120 μg L−1 with good precisions (1.9% and 2.9% for 5.0 μg L−1), respectively. The recoveries for plasma and urine samples were higher than 81%.

One of the main challenges in large-scale applications of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) is the significant amount of template needed in polymer preparation. A new strategy based on room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) was suggested to solve this problem by reducing the amount of template in the polymerization recipe. The MIP was synthesized with a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and RTIL (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) as porogen, in which chlorogenic acid (CGA) was used as template, 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) as functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as cross-linker. The influence of polymerization variables, including CGA concentrations, and the ratio of 4-VP to EDMA on imprinting effect were investigated comprehensively. Moreover, the properties involving the column permeability, the number of binding sites, and the polymer morphology of the CGA-MIP monoliths were studied thoroughly. The MIP monolith had an excellent column permeability (1.53 × 10−13 m2) and allowed an ultra-fast on-line SPE, which dramatically shortens the separation time (< 10 min) and improves the separation efficiency. At high flow velocity (5.0 mL min−1), 50 μL of the extract from Eucommia ulmoides leaves can be loaded directly on the CGA-MIP monoliths and CGA with high purity can be obtained with a recovery of 89.01 ± 0.05%. As a conclusion, the resulting RTIL-induced approach of preparing MIP may be an effective tool in fabricating MIP in a low-cost way.
