Developing an exclusive sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer/Multi-walled carbon nanotubes/FeO@Au nanocomposite for the selective determination of an anti-cancer drug imatinib.

Determination of pharmaceuticals especially anticancer drugs is one of the important issues in environmental and medical investigation and creating good information about human health. The presence sturdy introducing an electroanalytical sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)/Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/Au@FeO nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode (PE) to determine imatinib (IMA). The MIP/MWCNTs/Au@FeO/PE showed catalytic activity and also a sensitive strategy to sensing IMA in the concentration range 1-1000 μM with a limit of detection of 0.
