AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines how different methods like lyophilisation, autoclaving, and sonication affect the stability and performance of trypsin-specific molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIP NPs).
- Various cryoprotectant agents, including glucose and trehalose, were tested to enhance stability during lyophilisation.
- Results indicate that MIP NPs maintained their recognition properties and affinity after treatment, suggesting these methods are effective for long-term storage and could minimize bacterial contamination for clinical applications.
Article Abstract
The influence of lyophilisation, autoclaving and sonication on the stability and performance of trypsin-specific molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIP NPs) has been studied in order to improve their long-term physical stability. Glucose, glycine, sorbitol and trehalose were tested as cryoprotectant agents during the lyophilisation treatment. The effect of lyophilisation and sterilisation on affinity of trypsin-specific NPs was assessed using Biacore 3000 instrument. The results have demonstrated that MIP NPs successfully withstood the lyophilisation and autoclaving conditions without a reduction of their recognition properties and affinity. It is possible to conclude that both tested lyophilisation and sterilisation treatments were suitable for a long-term storage of the prepared MIP NPs and could be used to store MIP NPs in dry state and hence reduce the chance of the bacterial contamination. An effective preservation of the MIP NPs is a crucial requirement for their future applications in the clinical diagnostics and bioimaging.

Background: Emtricitabine (FTC) is a commonly prescribed anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug that has been classified as an emerging environmental pharmaceutical micropollutant due to its poor metabolism, refractory nature to wastewater treatment, continuous discharge with wastewater effluent and accumulation in the aquatic environment. Although there are no reported limits and toxicity of the drug in the environment yet, it is crucial to develop onsite, rapid, selective and ultrasensitive water sensing systems for FTC to ensure efficient risk management and environmental sustainability.
Results: Herein, a molecularly imprinted poly(para-aminobenzoic acid) (MIP) was electrochemically prepared on iron oxide nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (MIP/FeO NPs/GCE) for selective detection of FTC using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

A novel model of the sustainable double crosslinked molecularly imprinted polymer (D-Crosslinked MIP) represented as a supramolecular imprinted polymer was synthesized via the bulk polymerization method. The primary crosslinking was fabricated using biomacromolecule chitosan as a functional monomer and glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. The primary crosslinked was subjected to dynamic interactions in a secondary crosslinking by binding AlO-NPs and TiO-NPs, forming the supramolecular D-Crosslinked-MIP.

This study is the first successful application of a nanomaterial-supported molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor for the sensitive and selective determination of apigenin (API), which is a naturally occurring product of the flavone class that is an aglycone of several glycosides. Secondary metabolites are biologically active substances produced by plants in response to various environmental factors. The levels of these compounds can vary depending on factors such as climate, soil conditions and the season in which the plants are grown.

Clozapine (CLO) is an atypical antipsychotic drug indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia. The treatment effectiveness of CLO is better than that of other atypical antipsychotics, and it has the advantage of being able to determine its effectiveness by measuring its concentration in the patient's blood. Thus, sensitive, selective, and accurate determination of CLO in blood is highly significant for treatment monitoring.
