Methacrylic acid (MAA) and 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid (TFMAA) were used to prepare molecularly imprinted polymers exhibiting diastereoselectivity for cinchona alkaloids. Fluorescent spectra of the cinchona alkaloid exhibit a characteristic shift through binding to these polymer particles, originating most likely from the highly acidic residues in the imprinted polymers acting as a proton donator. Our results show that TFMAA based imprinted polymers can be used as polymer reagents for quantitating the cinchona alkaloid bound to the polymers without bound/free separation.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) have gained prominence as synthetic receptors, combining simplicity of synthesis with robust molecular recognition akin to antibodies and enzymes. One of their main application areas is chemical sensing. However, direct integration of MIPs with nanostructured transducers, crucial for enhancing sensing capabilities and broadening MIPs sensing applications, remains limited.

This work involves the preparation of dual surrogate-imprinted polymers (D-MIPs) for the capture of SARS-CoV-2. To achieve this goal, an innovative and novel dual imprinting approach using carboxylated-polystyrene (PS-COOH) nanoparticles with a diameter of 100 nm and a SARS-CoV-2 Spike-derived peptide was carried out at the surface of amine-functionalized silica (PS-NH) microspheres with a diameter of 500 nm. Firstly, PS-COOH nanoparticles with the same size and spherical shape as the SARS-CoV-2 virus were employed to form hemispherical indentations (HI) at the surface of the PS-NH microspheres (obtaining dummy particle-imprinted polymers, HI-MIPs).

Monomer compounds from natural products are the major source of active pharmaceutical molecules, which provide great opportunities for discovering of new drugs. However, natural products contain a large number of rather complex compounds. It is difficult to obtain high-purity monomer compounds from complex natural products.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are typically synthesized in organic solvents, leading to poor compatibility with water, weak affinity and selectivity for target molecules in aqueous media. To address these challenges, a green and sustainable synthesis of sandwich bread-like ATP@MIP was conducted using polyethylenimide (PEI) and deep eutectic solvent (DES) as hydrophilic bi-functional monomers via layer-by-layer self-assembly on the attapulgite (ATP) carrier. The new ATP@MIP can provide a higher density of imprinting sites with more orderly and uniform distribution due to inhibiting the competitive polymerization between PEI and DES, thereby significantly enhancing recognition ability.

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is the leading cause of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease development. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-mimic system for sensitive and specific oxLDL determination was developed using selective aptamer-molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (AP-MIP NP) coupled with an immunology-based colorimetric assay. The AP-MIP NP were synthesized using solid-phase molecular imprinting by incorporating aptamers into the MIP NP cavities.
