Recent Advances in Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Antibiotic Analysis

The abuse and residues of antibiotics have a great impact on the environment and organisms, and their determination has become very important. Due to their low contents, varieties and complex matrices, effective recognition, separation and enrichment are usually required prior to determination. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), a kind of highly selective polymer prepared via molecular imprinting technology (MIT), are used widely in the analytical detection of antibiotics, as adsorbents of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and as recognition elements of sensors. Herein, recent advances in MIPs for antibiotic residue analysis are reviewed. Firstly, several new preparation techniques of MIPs for detecting antibiotics are briefly introduced, including surface imprinting, nanoimprinting, living/controlled radical polymerization, and multi-template imprinting, multi-functional monomer imprinting and dummy template imprinting. Secondly, several SPE modes based on MIPs are summarized, namely packed SPE, magnetic SPE, dispersive SPE, matrix solid-phase dispersive extraction, solid-phase microextraction, stir-bar sorptive extraction and pipette-tip SPE. Thirdly, the basic principles of MIP-based sensors and three sensing modes, including electrochemical sensing, optical sensing and mass sensing, are also outlined. Fourthly, the research progress on molecularly imprinted SPEs (MISPEs) and MIP-based electrochemical/optical/mass sensors for the detection of various antibiotic residues in environmental and food samples since 2018 are comprehensively reviewed, including sulfonamides, quinolones, β-lactams and so on. Finally, the preparation and application prospects of MIPs for detecting antibiotics are outlined.

Determination of Chlorogenic Acid and Rutinum in Herba Artemisiae Scopariae with Multitemplate Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Solid-phase Extraction with High-performance Liquid Chromatography

Novel multitemplate molecularly imprinted polymers were prepared using mixtures of chlorogenic acid and rutinum as molecular templates, acrylamide as a functional monomer, divinylbenzene as the cross-linker, and 20:80 methanol:acetone as the porogen. The polymers were assessed for solid-phase extraction (SPE) for the purification of two compounds from Herba Artemisiae Scopariae. The synthesized molecularly imprinted polymers were identified by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Systematic characterization of the functional monomer and porogens on the recognition properties of the molecularly imprinted polymers were carried out. Comparison with single-template molecularly imprinted polymers showed that the multitemplate molecular polymers exhibited higher selectivity and adsorption capacity for multiple analytes. The optimization of washing solvent as 1:9 acetone:water and the elution solvent as 9:1 acetonitrile:acetic acid provided a reliable analytical method with strong recognition toward multiple analytes in Herba Artemisiae Scopariae extracts with satisfactory recoveries of 89.6% for chlorogenic acid and 93.8% for rutinum. These results demonstrate that the multitemplate molecularly imprinted polymers coupled with SPE are effective for the selective purification of bioactive compounds in complex samples.

The recognition materials were used as pretreatment materials for magnetic molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MSPE) to achieve the efficient adsorption, selective recognition, and rapid magnetic separation of methotrexate (MTX) in the patients’ plasma. This method was combined with high-performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet detection (HPLC–UV) to achieve accurate and rapid detection of the plasma MTX concentration, providing a new method for the clinical detection and monitoring of the MTX concentration.

MTX was linear in the range of 0.00005–0.25 mg mL⁻¹, and the detection limit was 12.51 ng mL⁻¹. The accuracy of the MSPE–HPLC–UV method for MTX detection was excellent, and the result was consistent with that of a drug concentration analyzer.

The presence of profenofos (PFF) in food has been strictly limited by legislation due to its genotoxic and toxic effects on health. It is therefore very important to establish simple and rapid analytical methods to detect traces of this insecticide.

An innovative molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanocomposite (Au) for rapid detection of vincristine (VCR).

Newly Combined Method of Molecularly Imprinted Solid-Phase Extraction with ELISA for Rapid Detection of Clenbuterol in Animal-Tissue Samples

Abstract

A new method using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as specific adsorbent materials coupled with ELISA analysis is being reported for the first time for the detection of clenbuterol (CLB) residue in the pig muscles. After optimization of the posttreatments, the total amount of template bleeding in the CLB MIPs was decreased to only 3.0 ng CLB/60 mg MIPs, which is 10 times lower than that of the previous report. Moreover, compared to the methods of C18-ELISA and single ELISA, the combined molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE)–ELISA exhibited high precision and robust accuracy for CLB at all three spiked levels of 0.5, 5.0, and 10.0 ng g^?1.     

Application of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers in the Analysis of Waters and Wastewaters

The increase of the global population and shortage of renewable water resources urges the development of possible remedies to improve the quality and reusability of waste and contaminated water supplies. Different water pollutants, such as heavy metals, dyes, pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), and pharmaceuticals, are produced through continuous technical and industrial developments that are emerging with the increasing population. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) represent a class of synthetic receptors that can be produced from different types of polymerization reactions between a target template and functional monomer(s), having functional groups specifically interacting with the template; such interactions can be tailored according to the purpose of designing the polymer and based on the nature of the target compounds. The removal of the template using suitable knocking out agents renders a recognition cavity that can specifically rebind to the target template which is the main mechanism of the applicability of MIPs in electrochemical sensors and as solid phase extraction sorbents. MIPs have unique properties in terms of stability, selectivity, and resistance to acids and bases besides being of low cost and simple to prepare; thus, they are excellent materials to be used for water analysis. The current review represents the different applications of MIPs in the past five years for the detection of different classes of water and wastewater contaminants and possible approaches for future applications.
