Background: Sorafenib (SOR) is a multikinase inhibitor anticancer drug that is used in treating non-small cell lung cancer. In this work, we focused on developing nanomaterial-supported smart porous interfaces by following the molecular imprinting approach for the selective determination of SOR. Determination-based studies in the literature for SOR are limited, and they are chromatographic techniques-based; hence, there is a need in the literature to elaborate the selective and sensitive analysis/monitoring of SOR in both biological and pharmaceutical samples with more studies.
Results: The results showed that adding ZnO NPs enhanced the signal five times compared to the solo molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). Under the optimized conditions, ZnO/AMPS@MIP-GCE showed a linear response in the concentration range between 1.0 × 10 and 1.0 × 10 M with LOD and LOQ values of 2.25 × 10 M and 7.51 × 10 M, respectively, in the serum sample. The selectivity study was conducted against common cations, anions, and compounds such as dopamine, paracetamol, ascorbic acid, and uric acid. Also, the imprinting factor (IF) analysis was performed on selected drug substances having structural similarities to SOR and the relative IF values of regorafenib, leflunomide, teriflunomide, nilotinib, axitinib, and dasatinib indicated the selectivity of the developed sensor for SOR. Finally, ZnO/AMPS@MIP-GCE was implemented to determine SOR in the spiked commercial human serum samples and tablet dosage form with bias% between -0.43 and + 0.66.
Significance And Novelty: This study is the first electrochemical study for the determination of SOR, and thanks to the ZnO NPs supported MIP sensor, it stands out in terms of both high sensitivity and superior selectivity. Also, this designed sensor provides controlled orientation of the template and complete removal of templates in a one-step process, allowing extremely low detection and quantification limits.

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.

A versatile fluorescent molecularly imprinted nanosensor (MIPs@O-CDs) for profiling ciprofloxacin (CIP) was innovatively developed using a controllable post-imprinting modification strategy. High-affinity molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as recognition elements granted nanosensor favorable anti-interference. Bright orange-emission carbon dots (O-CDs) as signal transducers demonstrated prominent reverse fluorescence response to CIP due to inner filter effect, ameliorating detection sensitivity and accuracy.

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.

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is hindered by the high cost, complexity, and centralization of current diagnostic platforms such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and single-molecule array (SIMOA). Here, an integrated point-of-care (PoC) biosensing platform is reported based on redox-active polyphenol red molecularly imprinted polymers (pPhR MIPs) deposited on highly porous gold (HPG) electrodes for the ultrasensitive, reagent-free detection of phosphorylated tau 181 (p-tau 181) in undiluted plasma and serum. The unique electrochemical interface combines the signal-enhancing properties of HPG with the redox functionality of pPhR, eliminating the need for external redox probes.
