Soluble Molecularly Imprinted Nanorods for Homogeneous Molecular Recognition.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, it is still difficult for molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to achieve homogeneous recognition since they cannot be easily dissolved in organic or aqueous phase. To address this issue, soluble molecularly imprinted nanorods have been synthesized by using soluble polyaniline doped with a functionalized organic protonic acid as the polymer matrix. By employing 1-naphthoic acid as a model, the proposed imprinted nanorods exhibit an excellent solubility and good homogeneous recognition ability. The imprinting factor for the soluble imprinted nanoroads is 6.8. The equilibrium dissociation constant and the apparent maximum number of the proposed imprinted nanorods are 248.5 ?M and 22.1 ?mol/g, respectively. We believe that such imprinted nanorods may provide an appealing substitute for natural receptors in homogeneous recognition related fields.

Water-Soluble Molecularly Imprinted Nanoparticle Receptors with Hydrogen-Bond-Assisted Hydrophobic Binding.

Project description:Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MINPs) were prepared when surfactants with a tripropargylammonium headgroup and a methacrylate-functionalized hydrophobic tail were cross-linked in the micelle form on the surface and in the core in the presence of hydrophobic template molecules. With the surfactants containing an amide bond near the headgroup, the MINPs had a layer of hydrogen-bonding groups in the interior that strongly influenced their molecular recognition. Templates/guests with strong hydrogen-bonding groups in the midsection of the molecule benefited most, especially if the hydrophobe of the template could penetrate the amide layer to reach the hydrophobic core of the cross-linked micelles. The location and the orientation of the hydrophilic groups were also important, as they determined how the template interacted with the surfactant micelles and, ultimately, with the MINP receptors.

Zwitterionic Molecularly Imprinted Cross-Linked Micelles for Alkaloid Recognition in Water.

Project description:Molecular imprinting within surface/core doubly cross-linked micelles afforded water-soluble nanoparticle receptors for their template molecules. Extremely strong imprinting effects were consistently observed, with the imprinting factor >100:1 in comparison to nonimprinted nanoparticles prepared without the templates. The ionic nature of the cross-linkable surfactant strongly impacted the imprinting and binding process. Imprinted receptors prepared with a zwitterionic cross-linkable surfactant (4) outperformed a similar cationic one (1) when the template was zwitterionic or cationic and preferred their templates over structural analogues regardless of their ionic characteristics. Electrostatic interactions, however, dominated the receptors made with the cationic surfactant. The same micellar imprinting applied to simple as well as complex alkaloids. Imprinted receptors from 4 were also shown to categorize their alkaloid guests according to their structural similarity.

Polymer Composition Primarily Determines the Protein Recognition Characteristics of Molecularly Imprinted Hydrogels.

Project description:Synthetic hydrogels with the ability to recognize and bind target proteins are useful for a number of applications, including biosensing and therapeutic agent delivery. One popular method for fabricating recognitive hydrogels is molecular imprinting. A long-standing hypothesis of the field is that these molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) retain the chemical and geometric profile of their protein template, resulting in subsequent ability to recognize the template in solution. Here, we systematically determined the influence of network composition, as well as the identity, amount, and extraction of imprinting templates, on the protein binding of MIPs. Network composition (i.e. the relative number of ionizable and hydrophobic groups) explained the extent of protein adsorption in all cases. The identity and amount of imprinting template, albeit a protein or synthetic polymer (PEG) of similar molecular weight, did not significantly influence the amount of protein bound. While the purification method influenced the extent of template adsorption, it did so by chemically modifying the network (acrylamide hydrolysis, increasing the acid content by up to 21%) and not by voiding occupied MIP pores. Therefore, our results indicate that material composition determines the extent to which MIPs bind template and non-template proteins.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Materials as Selective Recognition Sorbents for Explosives: A Review.

Project description:Explosives are of significant interest to homeland security departments and forensic investigations. Fast, sensitive and selective detection of these chemicals is of great concern for security purposes as well as for triage and decontamination in contaminated areas. To this end, selective sorbents with fast binding kinetics and high binding capacity, either in combination with a sensor transducer or a sampling/sample-preparation method, are required. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) show promise as cost-effective and rugged artificial selective sorbents, which have a wide variety of applications. This manuscript reviews the innovative strategies developed in 57 manuscripts (published from 2006 to 2019) to use MIP materials for explosives. To the best of our knowledge, there are currently no commercially available MIP-modified sensors or sample preparation methods for explosives in the market. We believe that this review provides information to give insight into the future prospects and potential commercialization of such materials. We warn the readers of the hazards of working with explosives.

Enhanced molecular recognition with longer chain crosslinkers in molecularly imprinted polymers for an efficient separation of TR active substances.

Project description:Molecular imprinting technology has been widely studied as a technique to obtain molecular recognition by artificial means. Selecting functional monomers or polymerization conditions plays a key role to optimize molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) synthesis. To date, there have been few reports well exploiting the effect of crosslinkers. Here, in this study, we synthesized the MIPs using poly(ethyleneglycol) dimethacrylate with different units of ethylene oxide (n = 1 to 23) as crosslinkers to observe the molecular recognition abilities. The MIPs were attached to the surface of mono-dispersed polymer beads. The obtained spherical MIPs and non-imprinted polymers were filled in a column for high performance liquid chromatography. Then the retention selectivity toward TR active substances was evaluated. The result revealed that the recognition ability did not improve regardless of the amount of ethylene oxide. With the crosslinker (n = 9), extremely high retention selectivity was observed, which provides at most around ten times as large imprinting factors in comparison with other MIPs. Interestingly, we obtained the highest recognition ability at around polymerization temperature from the evaluation of the recognition ability toward temperature shift using the MIP (n = 9). In general, hydrogen bonding based on MIPs provides high recognition ability at low temperature, whereas, this study indicates that the use of flexible crosslinkers may enable the synthesis of MIPs that precisely memorize the conditions of polymerization. Lastly, we simultaneously analyzed the TR active substances using the column filled with MIPs (n = 9). The result showed relatively linear correlation between the retention strength of each substance and phycological activity toward TR obtained by yeast assay. Therefore, we can conclude that an induced fit like the receptor emerged by constructing the flexible molecular recognition field.

Protein Determination with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Recognition Combined with Birefringence Liquid Crystal Detection.

Project description:Liquid crystal-based sensors offer the advantage of high sensitivity at a low cost. However, they often lack selectivity altogether or require costly and unstable biomaterials to impart this selectivity. To incur this selectivity, we herein integrated a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film recognition unit with a liquid crystal (LC) in an optical cell transducer. We tested the resulting chemosensor for protein determination. We examined two different LCs, each with a different optical birefringence. That way, we revealed the influence of that parameter on the sensitivity of the (human serum albumin)-templated (MIP-HSA) LC chemosensor. The response of this chemosensor with the (MIP-HSA)-recognizing film was linear from 2.2 to 15.2 µM HSA, with a limit of detection of 2.2 µM. These values are sufficient to use the devised chemosensor for HSA determination in biological samples. Importantly, the imprinting factor (IF) of this chemosensor was appreciable, reaching IF = 3.7. This IF value indicated the predominant binding of the HSA through specific rather than nonspecific interactions with the MIP.

Preparation, Characterization and Application of a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer for Selective Recognition of Sulpiride.

Project description:A novel molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) was prepared by bulk polymerization using sulpiride as the template molecule, itaconic acid (ITA) as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinker. The formation of the MIP was determined as the molar ratio of sulpiride-ITA-EGDMA of 1:4:15 by single-factor experiments. The MIP showed good adsorption property with imprinting factor α of 5.36 and maximum adsorption capacity of 61.13 μmol/g, and was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and surface area analysis. With the structural analogs (amisulpride, tiapride, lidocaine and cisapride) and small molecules containing a mono-functional group (p-toluenesulfonamide, formamide and 1-methylpyrrolidine) as substrates, static adsorption, kinetic adsorption, and rebinding experiments were also performed to investigate the selective adsorption ability, kinetic characteristic, and recognition mechanism of the MIP. A serial study suggested that the highly selective recognition ability of the MIP mainly depended on binding sites provided by N-functional groups of amide and amine. Moreover, the MIP as solid-phase extractant was successfully applied to extraction of sulpiride from the mixed solution (consisted of p-toluenesulfonamide, sulfamethoxazole, sulfanilamide, p-nitroaniline, acetanilide and trimethoprim) and serum sample, and extraction recoveries ranged from 81.57% to 86.63%. The tentative tests of drug release in stimulated intestinal fluid (pH 6.8) demonstrated that the tablet with the MIP-sulpiride could obviously inhibit sulpiride release rate. Thus, ITA-based MIP is an efficient and promising alternative to solid-phase adsorbent for extraction of sulpiride and removal of interferences in biosample analysis, and could be used as a potential carrier for controlled drug release.

Molecularly Imprinted Biodegradable Nanoparticles.

Project description:Biodegradable polymer nanoparticles are promising carriers for targeted drug delivery in nanomedicine applications. Molecu- lar imprinting is a potential strategy to target polymer nanoparticles through binding of endogenous ligands that may promote recognition and active transport into specific cells and tissues. However, the lock-and-key mechanism of molecular imprinting requires relatively rigid cross-linked structures, unlike those of many biodegradable polymers. To date, no fully biodegradable molecularly imprinted particles have been reported in the literature. This paper reports the synthesis of a novel molecularly- imprinted nanocarrier, based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and acrylic acid, that combines biodegradability and molec- ular recognition properties. A novel three-arm biodegradable cross-linker was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of glycolide and lactide initiated by glycerol. The resulting macromer was functionalized by introduction of end-functions through reaction with acryloyl chloride. Macromer and acrylic acid were used for the synthesis of narrowly-dispersed nanoparticles by radical polymerization in diluted conditions in the presence of biotin as template molecule. The binding capacity of the imprinted nanoparticles towards biotin and biotinylated bovine serum albumin was twentyfold that of non-imprinted nanoparti- cles. Degradation rates and functional performances were assessed in in vitro tests and cell cultures, demonstrating effective biotin-mediated cell internalization.

Potentiometric Adsorption Isotherm Analysis of a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Interface for Small-Biomolecule Recognition.

Project description:In this paper, we report a direct and quantitative analytical method of small-biomolecule recognition with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) interface, taking advantage of the potentiometric principle of a field-effect transistor (FET) sensor, which enables the direct detection of ionic charges without using labeling materials such as fluorescent dyes. The interaction of low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides such as paromomycin and kanamycin with the MIP interface including phenylboronic acid (PBA) was directly and quantitatively analyzed from the electrical signals of an MIP-coated FET sensor. In particular, the change in the potential response of the FET sensor was derived on the basis of the multi-Langmuir adsorption isotherm equations, considering the change in the molecular charges of PBA caused by the adsorption equilibrium of the analytes with the vinyl PBA-copolymerized MIP membrane. Thus, the potentiometric adsorption isotherm analysis can elucidate the formation of selective binding sites at the MIP interface. The electrochemical analysis of the functional biointerface used in this study supports the design and construction of sensors for small biomarkers.

Upconversion Nanophosphor-Involved Molecularly Imprinted Fluorescent Polymers for Sensitive and Specific Recognition of Sterigmatocystin.

Project description:Originated from the bottom-up synthetic strategy, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) possess the inherent ability of selective and specific recognition and binding of the target analytes, with their structural cavities that can match the target molecules in respect to size, shape, and functional groups. Herein, based on the high selectivity of MIPs and the fluorescence properties of the β-NaYF₄:Yb3+, Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles, MIPs with both specificity and fluorescent signals are fabricated to recognize trace sterigmatocystin (ST) with high selectivity and sensitivity. The structure analogue of ST, 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DT), was employed as the template molecule, acrylamide as the functional monomer, 3-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane as the crosslinking agent, and a new molecular imprinting technique of non-aqueous sol-gel method is used to synthesize a molecularly imprinted material with high selectivity to ST. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescence enhancement of fluorescent MIPs increased as the concentration of ST increased. In the range of 0.05⁻1.0 mg L-1, fluorescence enhancement and the concentration showed a good linear relationship with a detection limit of 0.013 mg L-1. Real sample analysis achieved the recoveries of 83.8⁻88.8% (RSD 5.1%) for rice, 82.1⁻87.5% (RSD 4.6%) for maize, and 80.6⁻89.2% (RSD 3.0%) for soybeans, respectively, revealing the feasibility of the developed method.
