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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Selective Recognition of d-Aldohexoses in Water by Boronic Acid-Functionalized, Molecularly Imprinted Cross-Linked Micelles.

Project description:Molecular imprinting within cross-linked micelles using 4-vinylphenylboronate derivatives of carbohydrates provided water-soluble nanoparticle receptors selective for the carbohydrate templates. Complete differentiation of d-aldohexoses could be achieved by these receptors if a single inversion of hydroxyl occurred at C2 or C4 of the sugar or if two or more inversions took place. Glycosides with a hydrophobic aglycan displayed stronger binding due to increased hydrophobic interactions.

Surface Ligands in the Imprinting and Binding of Molecularly Imprinted Cross-Linked Micelles.

Project description:Molecular recognition in water is challenging but water-soluble molecularly imprinted nanoparticle (MINP) receptors were produced readily by double cross-linking of surfactant micelles in the presence of suitable template molecules. When the micellar surface was decorated with different polyhydroxylated ligands, significant interactions could be introduced between the surface ligands and the template. Flexible surface ligands worked better than rigid ones to interact with the polar moiety of the template, especially for those template molecules whose water-exposed surface is not properly solvated by water. The importance of these hydrophilic interactions was examined in the context of different substrates, density of the surface ligands, and surface-cross-linking density of the MINP. Together with the hydrophobic interactions in the core, the surface hydrophilic interactions can be used to enhance the binding of guest molecules in water.

Imprinted micelles for chiral recognition in water: shape, depth, and number of recognition sites.

Project description:Chiral molecular recognition is important to biology, separation, and asymmetric catalysis. Because there is no direct correlation between the chiralities of the host and the guest, it is difficult to design a molecular receptor for a chiral guest in a rational manner. By cross-linking surfactant micelles containing chiral template molecules, we obtained chiral nanoparticle receptors for a number of 4-hydroxyproline derivatives. Molecular imprinting allowed us to transfer the chiral information directly from the guest to host, making the molecular recognition between the two highly predictable. Hydrophobic interactions between the host and the guest contributed strongly to the enantio- and diastereoselective differentiation of these compounds in water, whereas ion-pair interactions, which happened near the surface of the micelle, were less discriminating. The chiral recognition could be modulated by tuning the size and shape of the binding pockets.

Soluble Molecularly Imprinted Nanorods for Homogeneous Molecular Recognition.

Project description: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 μM and 22.1 μmol/g, respectively. We believe that such imprinted nanorods may provide an appealing substitute for natural receptors in homogeneous recognition related fields.

Molecularly Imprinted Micelles for Fluorescent Sensing of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).

Project description:Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used over-the-counter drugs and their uncontrolled disposal is a significant environmental concern. Although their fluorescent sensing is a desirable method of detection for its sensitivity and simplicity, the structural similarity of the drugs makes the design of selective sensors highly challenging. A thiourea-based fluorescent functional monomer was identified in this work to enable highly efficient synthesis of molecularly imprinted nanoparticle (MINP) sensors for NSAIDs such as Indomethacin or Tolmetin. Micromolar binding affinities were obtained in aqueous solution, with binding selectivities comparable to those reported for polyclonal antibodies. The detection limit was ~50 ng/mL in aqueous solution, and common carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, benzoic acid, and citric acid showed negligible interference.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Selective Determination of Estrogens in Water by ESI-MS/FAPA-MS.

Project description:Qualitative and quantitative analysis of estrogens content in natural water is a difficult task. An important problem in the analysis of hormones in water is the quantitative determination of their individual species. Low detection limits and instability of estrogen derivatives are the main challenges. Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (mag-MIPs) in combination with Flowing Atmospheric-Pressure Afterglow Mass Spectrometry (FAPA-MS) were successfully used for analysis of estrogen hormones in water samples. The aim of the study was to obtain mag-MIPs selective to estrone (E1) and ?-estradiol (E2) for solid phase extraction and pre-concentration of estrogens. Due to their superior analyte binding properties at low concentrations (0.03 g in 1 g of polymer structure) and possibility of magnetic separation, mag-MIPs were proven to be very convenient and efficient adsorbent materials. In addition, MS analyses were performed using two ionization sources: ESI- and FAPA-MS. For both estrogens, LOD was significantly lower for FAPA-MS analysis (0.135 ?gL-1 for E1 and E2) than for ESI-MS analysis (27 ?gL-1 for E1 and 13.6 ?gL-1 for E2). The total estrogen concentration in the environmental water sample was determined as: cE1 = 0.271 ?gL-1 and cE2 = 0.275 ?gL-1.

Cross-Linked Aptamer-Lipid Micelles for Excellent Stability and Specificity in Target-Cell Recognition.

Project description:The specific binding ability of DNA-lipid micelles (DLMs) can be increased by the introduction of an aptamer. However, supramolecular micellar structures based on self-assemblies of amphiphilic DLMs are expected to demonstrate low stability when interacting with cell membranes under certain conditions, which could lead to a reduction in selectivity for targeting cancer cells. We herein report a straightforward cross-linking strategy that relies on a methacrylamide branch to link aptamer and lipid segments. By an efficient photoinduced polymerization process, covalently linked aptamer-lipid units help stabilize the micelle structure and enhance aptamer probe stability, further improving the targeting ability of the resulting nanoassembly. Besides the development of a facile cross-linking method, this study clarifies the relationship between aptamer-lipid concentration and the corresponding binding ability.

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.

Zwitterionic Cross-Linked Biodegradable Nanocapsules for Cancer Imaging.

Project description:Zwitterionic cross-linked biodegradable nanocapsules (NCs) were synthesized for cancer imaging. A polylactide (PLA)-based diblock copolymer with two blocks carrying acetylenyl and allyl groups respectively was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Azide-alkyne "click" reaction was conducted to conjugate sulfobetaine (SB) zwitterions and fluorescent dye Cy5.5 onto the acetylenyl-functionalized first block of the diblock copolymer. The resulting copolymer with a hydrophilic SB/Cy5.5-functionalized PLA block and a hydrophobic allyl-functionalized PLA block could stabilize miniemulsions because of its amphiphilic diblock structure. UV-induced thiol-ene "click" reaction between a dithiol cross-linker and the hydrophobic allyl-functionalized block of the copolymer at the peripheral region of nanoscopic oil nanodroplets in the miniemulsion generated cross-linked polymer NCs with zwitterionic outer shells. These NCs showed an average hydrodynamic diameter ( Dh) of 136 nm. They exhibited biodegradability, biocompatibility and high colloidal stability. In vitro study indicated that these NCs could be taken up by MIA PaCa-2 cancer cells. In vivo imaging study showed that, comparing to a small molecule dye, NCs had a longer circulation time, facilitating their accumulation at tumors for cancer imaging. Overall, this work demonstrates the applicability of zwitterionic biodegradable polymer-based materials in cancer diagnosis.
