Abstract
Treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is plagued by a lack of practical and reliable methods allowing early diagnosis of the disease. We here demonstrate that robust receptors prepared by molecular imprinting successfully address current limitations of biologically derived receptors in displaying affinity for hydrophobic peptide biomarkers for AD under denaturing conditions. C-terminal epitope-imprinted polymers showing enhanced binding affinity for Aβ1-42 were first identified from a 96-polymer combinatorial library. This information was then used to synthesize molecularly imprinted polymers for both of the β-amyloid (Aβ) isoforms and a corresponding nonimprinted polymer. A solid-phase extraction method was developed to be compatible with sample loading under conditions of complete protein denaturation. This resulted in a method capable of quantitatively and selectively enriching a shorter C-terminal peptide corresponding to the sequences Aβ33-40 and Aβ33-42 as well as the full-length sequence Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 from a 4 M guanidinum chloride solution. Application of the method to serum allowed selective, high-recovery extraction of both biomarkers at spiking levels marginally higher than clinically relevant concentrations found in cerebrospinal fluid.

Abstract
ABSTRACTA high throughput synthesis technique was developed for the combinatorial optimization of polymers imprinted with 17□-Estradiol. This incorporated a liquid handling robot for the rapid dispensing of monomers, templates, solvents and initiator into the reaction vessels of a 96-well plate. A library of 80 polymers, each ca 80mg, was prepared using functional monomers containing acid functionalities (methacrylic acid (MAA), trifluoromethylacrylic acid (TFMAA)), basic functionalities (2-vinylpyridine (2-Vpy), 4-vinylpyridine (4-Vpy), diethyl-2-aminoethylmethycrylate (DEAEMA)) or neutral functional groups (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA), methacrylamide (MAAM), N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), acetoxystyrene (AST)). Four replicas each of imprinted and nonimprinted polymers were made for each functional monomer using ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate (EDMA) as crosslinking monomer and acetonitrile as solvent. Polymer washing and exchange of incubation solutions could be effectively carried out after transfer of the polymers to solvent resistant filter plates. The binding properties of the polymers could then be rapidly assessed in the batch mode by quantifying non-bound fractions in parallel using a fluorescence monochromator plate reader. These data showed an acceptable agreement with the data from a corresponding HPLC evaluation of the rebinding solutions. In agreement with other reports, the acid functional monomers MAA and TFMAA, the basic DEAEMA and the neutral MAAM exhibited the highest imprinting factors.

Abstract
AbstractIn Molecular Imprinting the nature of the templated binding sites and the mechanism of their formation are still poorly understood. For this reason our groups are carrying out fundamental studies concerning known imprinting protocols, with the primary aim of shedding light on the role of the template in the different steps of the polymerisation, from the formation of primary chains to the build-up of the porous structure. In this paper we report our initial results concerning copolymers of methacrylic acid (MAA) and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) and their formation in presence or absence of the templates 9-ethyladenine, ametryn or terbutylazine. Monitoring the monomer disappearance by 1H-NMR showed that the presence of templates such as 9-ethyladenine significantly retarded the polymerisation but otherwise had minor influence on the relative reactivity of the monomers. The latter appeared in most cases to be stoichiometrically incorporated into the polymer. The signals arising from the template experienced little or no shift in the early stage of the polymerisation, although pronounced broadening was observed. By delaying the addition of the template, it was observed that binding sites with high selectivity could be induced more than one hour after the gel point of the system had been passed. Finally, the results of post-polymerisation curing on the dry and swollen state porosities and the recognition properties of terbutylazine imprinted polymers are reported. This treatment when performed at temperatures between 100-120°C, slightly enhanced the selectivity of the polymers, whereas at higher temperatures the polymers lost their molecular recognition properties. Swollen state porosity derived from inverse size exclusion chromatography (ISEC) revealed an interesting sharpening of the pore size distribution for the imprinted compared to the non-imprinted polymers.

Abstract
AbstractThe interaction of N1-substituted uracils (cyclohexyl (1) and benzyl (2)) with three polymerisable recognition elements, the novel monomers 9-(3/4-vinylbenzyl)adenine (3) and 2,6-diamino-9-(3/4-vinylbenzyl)purine (4) and the previously synthesised monomer 2,6-bis(acrylamido)pyridine (5), has been studied via1H NMR in deuterio-chloroform solution. MIPs against (2) have been prepared using each of the monomers and tested in the chromatographic mode. The effect of the number and type of hydrogen bonds formed between the templates and the functional monomers is reflected in the values of the apparent association constants obtained from the solution study and by the performance of the subsequently prepared MIPs in the chromatographic mode.

Abstract
Hyperphosphorylation at tyrosine is commonly observed in tumor proteomes and, hence, specific phosphoproteins or phosphopeptides could serve as markers useful for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. The analysis of such targets is, however, a challenging task, because of their commonly low abundance and the lack of robust and effective preconcentration techniques. As a robust alternative to the commonly used immunoaffinity techniques that rely on phosphotyrosine(pTyr)-specific antibodies, we have developed an epitope-imprinting strategy that leads to a synthetic pTyr-selective imprinted polymer receptor. The binding site incorporates two monourea ligands placed by preorganization around a pTyr dianion template. The tight binding site displayed good binding affinities for the pTyr template, in the range of that observed for corresponding antibodies, and a clear preference for pTyr over phosphoserine (pSer). In further analogy to the antibodies, the imprinted polymer was capable of capturing short tyrosine phosphorylated peptides in the presence of an excess of their non-phosphorylated counterparts or peptides phosphorylated at serine.

Abstract
A comprehensive comparison of five chromatographic stationary phases based on molecularly imprinted polymers is presented. Efficiency, imprinting factors, water compatibility and batch-to-batch reproducibility are discussed for crushed monolith, microspheres, two silica-based composites and capillary monoliths, all imprinted with the local anaesthetic bupivacaine. Synthesis protocol and chromatographic test conditions have been kept fixed within certain limits, in order to provide further insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the different formats. Excluding microparticles, all formats give satisfactory performance, especially in aqueous mobile phases. An assessment of batch-to-batch reproducibility in different mobile phases adds further value to this comparison study.

Abstract
An automated molecularly imprinted sorbent based assay (MIA) for the rapid and sensitive analysis of penicillin-type beta-lactam antibiotics (BLAs) has been developed and optimized. The polymers were prepared using penicillin G procaine salt as template (PENGp) and a stoichiometric quantity of a urea-based functional monomer to target the single oxyanionic species in the template molecule. Highly fluorescent competitors (emission quantum yields of 0.4-0.95), molecularly engineered to contain pyrene labels while keeping intact the 6-aminopenicillanic acid moiety for efficient recognition by the cross-linked polymers, have been tested as analyte analogues in the competitive assay. Pyrenemethylacetamido penicillanic acid (PAAP) was the tagged antibiotic providing for the highest selectivity when competing with PenG for the specific binding sites in the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). Upon desorption from the MIP, the emission signal generated by the PAAP was related to the antibiotic concentration in the sample. The 50% binding inhibition concentration of penicillin G standard curves was at 1.81 x 10(-6) M PENG, and the detection limit was 1.97 x 10(-7) M. The sensor showed a dynamic range (normalized signal in the 20 to 80% range) from 6.80 x 10(-7) to 7.21 x 10(-6) M (20-80% binding inhibition) PENG in acetonitrile:HEPES buffer 0.1 M at pH 7.5 (40:60, v/v) solutions. Competitive binding studies demonstrated various degrees of cross-reactivity with penicillin-type beta-lactam antibiotics such as ampicillin (71%), oxacillin (66%), penicillin V (56%), amoxicillin (13%), and nafcillin (46%) and a lower response to other isoxazolyl penicillins such as cloxacillin (27%) and dicloxacillin (16%). The total analysis time was 14 min per determination, and the MIP reactor could be reused for more than 150 cycles without significant loss of recognition. The automatic MIA has been successfully applied to the direct analysis of penicillin G in spiked urine samples with excellent recoveries (mean value 92%). Results displayed by comparative analysis of the optimized MIA with a chromatographic procedure for penicillin G showed excellent agreement between both methods.

Abstract
A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) prepared using penicillin G procaine salt as the template (PENGp) and a stoichiometric quantity of urea-based functional monomer to target the single oxyanionic species in the template molecule has been applied to the development of a molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) procedure for the selective preconcentration of beta-lactam antibiotics (BLAs) from environmental water samples. Various parameters affecting the extraction efficiency of the polymer have been evaluated to achieve the selective preconcentration of the antibiotics from aqueous samples and to reduce nonspecific interactions. This resulted in an MISPE-HPLC method allowing the direct extraction of the analytes from the sample matrix with a selective wash using just 10% (v/v) organic solvent. On the basis of UV detection only, the method showed good recoveries and precision, ranging between 93% and 100% (RSD 3.8-8.9%, n = 3) for tap water and between 90% and 100% (RSD 4.2-9.1%, n = 3) for river water fortified with 30 or 60 microg L-1 (50 mL samples) penicillin G, penicillin V, nafcillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, and dicloxacillin, suggesting that this MIP can be successfully applied to the direct preconcentration of BLAs in environmental water samples.

Abstract
A range of 2-acrylamidopyridines, showing subtle differences in solution binding toward carboxylic acids, has been investigated as functional monomers in molecular imprinting. Imprinting of N-Z-L-glutamic acid with one such monomer is shown to be effective in the creation of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with recognition properties for its template and also for larger molecules containing glutamic acid residues. In comparison to a MIP prepared via a more "traditional" approach, the new polymeric receptors exhibit reduced nonspecific binding. The new receptors are compared with previously reported urea-based receptors targeting the glutamic acid residue and receptors targeting the pteridine substructure of folic acid.

Abstract
Monolithic molecularly imprinted polymers (mMIPs) have been synthesized in a novel way using a trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate core material photo-polymerized in situ in a 100 microm I.D. UV-transparent capillary and further photo-grafted to create specific cavities in the grafted layer. This polymerization technique allows the imprints to be directly created on the surface of the material using a minimum amount of template. Three different anaesthetics of similar structures (bupivacaine, mepivacaine and S-ropivacaine) were used as model target molecules to synthesize sample enrichment media. Hence, various mMIPs have been prepared and evaluated on a micro-system against each analyte in order to test the retention properties and cross-selectivities of the materials. The retention factors were determined and compared with the non-imprinted reference column (mNIP), yielding high imprinting factors together with good selectivity factors between the three analytes. A study with a pure enantiomeric target was carried out to assess the degree of stereo-specific imprinting for injection of racemic mixtures. Finally, one column was imprinted with an equimolar mixture of all three anaesthetics to provide further comprehension of the retention mechanism and accredit the possibility of using the material as a sample enrichment entity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen absorption/desorption (BET) and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used to characterize the monolith and the mMIPs properties. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been used to assess the similarities between the mMIP and mNIP.
