Article Abstract

In this study, the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers for bilobalide (BBMIPs) was successfully achieved by bulk polymerization with methacrylamide (MAM), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), and acetonitrile (ACN) as functional monomer, cross-linker, and solvent, respectively. After Gaussian software simulation and single factor experiments, the prepared MIPs with a molar ratio of 1:4:15 for BB-MAM-TMPTA were systematically characterized. The hydrogen bonding interaction between BB and MAM was confirmed by a combination of FTIR and NMR analysis. Thermal gravimetric analysis results displayed that MIPs have excellent thermal stability under high temperature. Additionally, the average pore size and surface area of MIPs were found to be higher than those of NIPs through nitrogen adsorption results. The results of static adsorption and kinetic adsorption suggested that the adsorption equilibrium concentration was 0.6 mg/mL and the equilibrium time was 5 h, and the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were proven to fit with static and kinetic adsorption behaviors, respectively. Meanwhile, the selective adsorption study revealed that MIPs show high adsorption and great selectivity towards BB in comparison with other substances having similarly structure. MIPs also possessed a good performance on reusability, maintaining a high recovery rate after being reused 5 times. The application experiment further indicated that MIPs can effectively separate BB from low purity samples. Therefore, the prepared MIPs had a great potential for BB separation.

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor has been developed for the selective detection of naringenin (NAR) in various real-world samples, including plant extracts, wine, and herbal supplements. To enhance the active surface area and porosity of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), a 2D/0D nanocomposite composed of graphene oxide (GO) and cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles, CFO_GO, was incorporated into the sensor design. 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) was selected as the functional monomer to prepare the MIPs.

The amplification of detection signals is an important method for improving the sensitivity of electrochemical detection. This study presents an efficient strategy for preparing electrochemical catalytic materials using a simple self-assembly technique to encapsulate Fe single atoms (Fe-SAs) and Ni single atoms (Ni-SAs) in the Cu-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (Cu-BTC) metal-organic framework to form a Cu-BTC@FeNi-SAs catalytic system. Subsequently, Cu-BTC@FeNi-SAs was modified on the surface of a gold electrode, and sulfadiazine was used as a template to prepare a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) on the modified electrode.

The pervasive concern regarding veterinary drug residues in food necessitates advanced detection solutions, particularly addressing limitations of conventional methods reliant on large-scale instrumentation that incur prolonged analysis duration, complex sample preparation, and lack of real-time on-site capability. A portable "single response-on" molecularly imprinted ratiometric fluorescent paper-based sensor was developed for quantifying fleroxacin (FLX) residues in animal-derived foods, wherein B, N-co-doped MXene quantum dot (B, N-MQD) was synthesized and combined with BCP-Eu as dual-emission fluorophores, while FLX- molecularly imprinted polymer (FLX-MIP) was engineered using functionalized Nano-SiO as the carrier. Concentration-dependent fluorescence enhancement at 574 nm was exhibited with invariant reference signal at 411 nm, achieving a 36-fold lower detection limit (0.

Hepatozoon felis is a protozoan parasite reported in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas with infection rates ranging from 4% to 30% in domestic cats in Mediterranean countries. Although the parasite was described in 1908, its arthropod vector has not been reported to date. Ticks removed from cats were dissected to prepare hemocoel smears with the aim of identifying the sporogonic life stages of H.

A new nanosurface molecularly imprinted polyacrylamide nanoprobe (FeO@MIP) for pH sensing was prepared by using FeO magnetic nanoparticles as a substrate, rhodamine B (RhB) as a template and sensing molecule, acrylamide (AM) as a functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross-linker. The nanoprobe was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hysteresis loop, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) spectroscopy. FeO@MIP exhibited a strong RRS peak at 375 nm, and the sensing molecule RhB as the acceptor was enhanced with increasing pH in the pH range of 2.
