Abstract
Environmental pollution caused by ciprofloxacin is a major problem of global public health. A machine learning-assisted portable smartphone-based visualized molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (MIECL) sensor was developed for the highly selective and sensitive detection of ciprofloxacin (CFX) in food. To boost the efficiency of electrochemiluminescence (ECL), oxygen vacancies (OVs) enrichment was introduced into the flower-like Tb@Lu2O3 nanoemitter. With the specific recognition reaction between MIP as capture probes and CFX as detection target, the ECL signal significantly decreased. According to, CFX analysis was determined by traditional ECL analyzer detector in the concentration range from 5 × 10-4 to 5 × 102 μmol L-1 with the detection limit (LOD) of 0.095 nmol L-1 (S/N = 3). Analysis of luminescence images using fast electrochemiluminescence judgment network (FEJ-Net) models, achieving portable and intelligent quick analysis of CFX. The proposed MIECL sensor was used for CFX analysis in real meat samples and satisfactory results, as well as efficient selectivity and good stability.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have garnered the interest of researchers in the drug delivery due to their advantages, such as exceptional durability, stability, and selectivity. In this study, a biocompatible MIP drug adsorption and delivery system with high loading capacity and controlled release, was prepared based on chitosan (CS) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as the matrix, and the anticancer drug oxaliplatin (OXAL) as the template. Additionally, samples without the drug (non-imprinted polymers, NIPs) were created for comparison. GQDs were produced using the hydrothermal method, and samples underwent characterization through FTIR, XRD, FESEM, and TGA. Various experiments were conducted to determine the optimal pH for drug adsorption, along with kinetic and isotherm studies, selectivity assessments, in vitro drug release and kinetic evaluations. The highest drug binding capacity was observed at pH 6.5. The results indicated the Lagergren-first-order kinetic model (with rate constant of 0.038 min-1) and the Langmuir isotherm (with maximum adsorption capacity of 17.15 mg g-1) exhibited better alignment with the experimental data. The developed MIPs displayed significant selectivity towards OXAL, by an imprinting factor of 2.88, in comparison to two similar drugs (cisplatin and carboplatin). Furthermore, the analysis of the drug release profile showed a burst release for CS-Drug (87% within 3 h) at pH 7.4, where the release from the CS-GQD-Drug did not occur at pH 7.4 and 10; instead, the release was observed at pH 1.2 in a controlled manner (100% within 28 h). Consequently, this specific OXAL adsorption and delivery system holds promise for cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this study, carbon dots (CDs)-encapsulated luminescent metal-organic frameworks@surface molecularly imprinted polymer (CDs@MOF@SMIP) was facilely prepared and applied as fluorescent probe for specific identification and sensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) in food. Fluorescent CDs, serving as signal tags, were encapsulated within metal-organic backbones (ZIF-8), yielding luminescent MOF materials (CDs@ZIF-8). The synthesized CDs, CDs@ZIF-8 and CDs@ZIF-8@SMIP were investigated by morphological and structural characterizations (UV-Vis, XRD, FT-IR, BET, TEM). The CDs@ZIF-8@SMIP probe was demonstrated to have remarkable selectivity and sensitivity towards CAP. Its fluorescence decreased linearly with CAP concentration from 0.323 μg L-1 (0.001 μM) to 8075.0 μg L-1 (25.0 μM), featuring a low detection limit of 0.08 μg L-1. The CDs@ZIF-8@SMIP-based fluorescence strategy achieved satisfactory recoveries (95.5 % - 101.0 %) in CAP-spiked commercial foods with RSD < 4.4 % (n = 3). These results indicate that this method can effectively detect trace CAP in food matrices and has broad application prospects.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting techniques have attracted a lot of attention as a potential biomimetic technology, but there are still challenges in protein imprinting. Herein, multifunctional nanosized molecularly imprinted polymers (nanoMIPs) for human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) were prepared by epitope imprinting of magnetic nanoparticles-anchored peptide (magNP-P) templates, which were further applied to construct a competitive displacement fluorescence assay toward ACE2. A cysteine-flanked dodecapeptide sequence was elaborately selected as an epitope for ACE2, which was immobilized onto the surface of magnetic nanoparticles and served as a magNP-P template for imprinting. During polymerization, fluorescent monomers were introduced to endow fluorescence responsiveness to the prepared self-signaling nanoMIPs. A competitive displacement fluorescence assay based on the nanoMIPs was established and operated in a washing-free manner, yielding a wide range for ACE2 (0.1-6.0 pg/mL) and a low detection limit (0.081 pg/mL). This approach offers a promising avenue in the preparation of nanoMIPs for macromolecule recognition and expands potential application of an MIP in the detection of proteins as well as peptides.

Abstract
Molecular recognition of proteins is key to their biological functions and processes such as protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The large binding interface involved and an often relatively flat binding surface make the development of selective protein-binding materials extremely challenging. A general method is reported in this work to construct protein-binding polymeric nanoparticles from cross-linked surfactant micelles. Preparation involves first dynamic covalent chemistry that encodes signature surface lysines on a protein template. A double molecular imprinting procedure fixes the binding groups on the nanoparticle for these lysine groups, meanwhile creating a binding interface complementary to the protein in size, shape, and distribution of acidic groups on the surface. These water-soluble nanoparticles possess excellent specificities for target proteins and sufficient affinities to inhibit natural PPIs such as those between cytochrome c (Cytc) and cytochrome c oxidase (CcO). With the ability to enter cells through a combination of energy-dependent and -independent pathways, they intervene apoptosis by inhibiting the PPI between Cytc and the apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (APAF1). Generality of the preparation and the excellent molecular recognition of the materials have the potential to make them powerful tools to probe protein functions in vitro and in cellulo.

Abstract
Developing the rapid, specific, and sensitive tumor marker NDKA biosensor has become an urgent need in the field of early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with the advantages of high sensitivity, high resolution as well as providing sample fingerprint, enables rapid and sensitive detection of tumor markers. However, many SERS biosensors rely on boosting the quantity of Raman reporter molecules on individual nanoparticle surfaces, which can result in nanoparticle agglomeration, diminishing the stability and sensitivity of NDKA detection. Here, we proposed an immune-like sandwich multiple hotspots SERS biosensor for highly sensitive and stable analysis of NDKA in serum based on molecularly imprinted polymers and NDKA antibody. The SERS biosensor employs an array of gold nanoparticles, which are coated with a biocompatible polydopamine molecularly imprinted polymer as a substrate to specifically capture NDKA. Then the biosensor detects NDKA through Raman signals as a result of the specific binding of NDKA to the SERS nanotag affixed to the capture substrate along with the formation of multiple hotspots. This SERS biosensor not only avoids the aggregation of nanoparticles but also presents a solution to the obstacles encountered in immune strategies for certain proteins lacking multiple antibody or aptamer binding sites. Furthermore, the practical application of the SERS biosensor is validated by the detection of NDKA in serum with the lower limit of detection (LOD) of 0.25 pg/mL, meanwhile can detect NDKA of 10 ng/mL in mixed proteins solution, illustrating high sensitivity and specificity. This immune-like sandwich multiple hotspots biosensor makes it quite useful for the early detection of CRC and also provides new ideas for cancer biomarker sensing strategy in the future.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (MI-SERS) sensors have shown remarkable potential from an academic standpoint. However, their practical applications, especially in the detection of large-size protein (≥10 nm), face challenges due to the lack of versatile sensing strategies and nonspecific fouling of matrix species. Herein, we propose a Raman reporter inspector mechanism (RRIM) implemented on a protein-imprinted polydopamine (PDA) layer coated on the SERS active substrate. In the RRIM, after large-size protein recognition, the permeability of the PDA imprinted cavities undergoes changes that are scrutinized by Raman reporter molecules. Target proteins can specifically bind and fully occupy the imprinted cavities, whereas matrix species cannot. Then, Raman reporter molecules with suitable size are introduced to serve as both inspectors of the recognition status and inducers of the SERS signal, which can only penetrate through the vacant and nonspecifically filled cavities. Consequently, changes in the SERS signal exclusively originate from the specific binding of target proteins, while the nonspecific recognition of matrix species is curbed. The RRIM enables reproducible quantitation of the large-size cyanobacteria-specific protein model (≥10 nm), phycocyanin, at the level down to 2.6 × 10-3 μg L-1. Finally, the practical applicability of the RRIM is confirmed by accurately analyzing crude urban waterway samples over 21 min without any pretreatment.

Abstract
Alumina inorganic molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on a glassy carbon electrode (MWCNTs-Al2O3-MIP/GCE) was firstly designed and fabricated by one-step electro deposition technique for the detection of uric acid (UA) in sweat. The UA templates were embedded within the inorganic MIP by co-deposition with Al2O3. Through the evaluation of morphology and structure by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), it was verified that the specific recognition sites can be fabricated in the electrodeposited Al2O3 molecular imprinted layer. Due to the high selectivity of molecular imprinting holes, the MWCNTs-Al2O3-MIP/GCE electrode demonstrated an impressive imprinting factor of approximately 2.338 compared to the non-molecularly imprinted glassy carbon electrode (MWCNTs-Al2O3-NIP/GCE) toward uric acid detection. Moreover, it exhibited a remarkable limit of detection (LOD) of 50 nM for UA with wide detection range from 50 nM to 600 μM. The MWCNTs-Al2O3-MIP/GCE electrode also showed strong interference resistance against common substances found in sweat. These results highlight the excellent interference resistance and selectivity of MWCNTs-Al2O3-MIP/GCE sensor, positioning it as a novel sensing platform for non-invasive uric acid detection in human sweat.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising adsorbents for extraction, but their selectivity for molecular recognition remains a challenging issue due to the very limited structural design with rigid structure. Herein, we report an elegant strategy for the design and synthesis of molecularly imprinted flexible COFs (MI-FCOFs) via one-pot reaction between the flexible building block of 2,4,6-tris(4-formylphenoxy)- 1,3,5-triazine and linear 4-phenylenediamine for selective extraction of aflatoxins. The flexible chain structure enabled the developed MI-FCOF to adjust the shape and conformation of frameworks to suit the template molecule, giving high selectivity for aflatoxins recognition. Moreover, MI-FCOF with abundant imprinted sites and function groups exhibited an exceptional adsorption capacity of 258.4 mg g-1 for dummy template which is 3 times that of no-imprinted FCOF (NI-FCOF). Coupling MI-FCOF based solid-phase extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography gave low detection limits of 0.003-0.09 ng mL-1 and good precision with relative standard deviations ≤ 6.7% for the determination of aflatoxins. Recoveries for the spiked rice, corn, wheat and peanut samples were in the range of 85.4%- 105.4%. The high selectivity of the developed MI-FCOF allows matrix-free determination of AFTs in food samples. This work offers a new way to the design of MI-FCOF for selective molecular recognition.

Fabrication of double imprinted anchor points in cellulose nanocrystals-based hierarchical porous polyHIPEs for selective separation of flavoniods under physiological pH. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133230. [PMID: 38134695 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Previous research had proved that molecular imprinted polymers can be used as separation material for removing Naringin (NRG) from agricultural pomelo wastes effectively. But the adsorption amounts of NRG molecules from traditional MIPs was quite low by using boronic acid as functional monomer because of single affinity interaction. Therefore, we developed the new combination of bifunctional monomers (i.e. low pKa boronate affinity monomer 2,4-difluoro-3-formylphenylboronic acid and dopamine) based on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) mixed with polymerized high internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE, PH) through an double layer surface imprinted method. The introduction of polyethylenimine (PEI) can offer abundant anchor units for the growth of more anchor sites to immobilization template molecules. Importantly, largely improved selective adsorption amounts (50.79 μmol g-1), which may be attribute to the fabrication of the uniform growth of double imprinted layers onto the polydopamine (PDA)/boronic acid-based surfaces. In addition, the resulting double recognition molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) based on hypercrosslinked PH (DR-HCLPH@MIPs) not only exhibited fast adsorption kinetic of NRG molecule, but also possessed excellent selectivity and high adsorption capacities at physiological pH. Meanwhile, the coarse NRG from pomelo waste can be high selectively extracted to 94.74%. Overall, this study provides a versatile approach for fabrication of the sandwich-biscuit-like double imprinting layer porous MIPs for precise identification and ultrafast transport separation of NRG from complex samples.

Tailoring molecular recognition in predesigned multifunctional enzyme mimicking porphyrin imprinted interface for high affinity and differential selectivity; sensing etoposide in lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Nanozymes are cost-effective and robust but they lack specificity and selectivity, limiting their potential practical applications. Herein, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were grown in combination with multifunctional 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-21H,23H-porphyrin (THPP) oxidase-like nanozyme to engineer THPP@MIP interface with high affinities and differential selectivity for structurally related target analytes. THPP nanozyme displayed a high level of predefined binding affinity for etoposide (ETO), and served as a predesigned functional monomer to rationally tailor the selectivity of THPP@MIP surface in the presence of different guest molecules. THPP nanozyme in combination with conventional monomers was imprinted on a portable and disposable cellulose paper matrix under UV light to create a UV-cured imprinted interface for optical detection of ETO. The THPP@MIP enzyme mimicking interface, having ETO specific and selective target recognition pockets, catalyzed the oxidation of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate visible blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB) without exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The ETO binding on the THPP@MIP surface blocked the channels for TMB access to THPP cavities. The THPP@MIP sensor permitted to detect ETO in the linear range of 0.005-10 μg mL-1, with a limit of detection (LoD) of 0.002 μg mL-1, and showed a remarkable specificity and selectivity against other drug molecules. Furthermore, the THPP@MIP sensor successfully differentiated the serum samples of lung cancer patients and healthy volunteers. The obtained results were validated with standard High performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) analysis of the serum samples. Additionally, ETO injection/infusion solutions and ETO-free serum samples were used to perform the matrix effect and recovery studies. This work demonstrates that molecular imprinting with predesigned, enzyme mimicking, high-affinity functional monomer can serve as a highly selective and specific universal interface for broad spectrum sensing applications in various analytical domains.

Abstract
Florfenicol (FF) raises significant human health and environmental concerns due to its toxicity to the hematology system and the potential spread of antibiotic-resistant genes. Here, a highly sensitive molecularly imprinted photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor, featuring an In2O3/Bi2S3 S-scheme heterojunction, is proposed to detect FF without an external voltage supply. Compared with conventional II-type heterojunctions, S-scheme heterojunctions efficiently promote carrier separation and enhance the redox capability of the photocatalytic system. This allows more dissolved O2 and H2O molecules to participate in the redox reaction, resulting in an amplified and stabilized photocurrent response. The electron transfer in the S-scheme heterojunction is confirmed via electron spin resonance (ESR). With the molecular imprinting technique, this PEC platform exhibits exceptional selectivity, wide linear range (1.0 × 10-4-1.0 × 104 ng mL-1), low detection limit (6.4 × 10-5 ng mL-1), and applicability in real milk and chicken samples. This work not only showcases a PEC platform for accurately and portably detecting drugs but also proposes a viable approach for designing S-scheme heterojunctions in sensing analysis.

Abstract
Antibodies are highly selective and sensitive, making them the gold standard for recognition affinity tools. However, their production cost is high and their downstream processing is time-consuming. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are tailor-made by incorporating specific molecular recognition sites in their structure, thus translating into receptor-like activity mode of action. The interest in molecular imprinting technology, applied to biomacromolecules, has increased in the past decade. MIPs, produced using biomolecules as templates, commonly referred to as "plastic antibodies" or "artificial receptors", have been considered as suitable cheaper and easy to produce alternatives to antibodies. Research on MIPs, designed to recognize proteins or peptides is particularly important, with potential contributions towards biomedical applications, namely biosensors and targeted drug delivery systems. This mini review will cover recent advances on (bio)molecular imprinting technology, where proteins or peptides are targeted or mimicked for sensing and therapeutic applications. Polymerization methods are reviewed elsewhere, being out of the scope of this review. Template selection and immobilization approaches, monomers and applications will be discussed, highlighting possible drawbacks and gaps in research.

Abstract
Although protein imprinted materials with multiple templates are developed to selectively separate different proteins, it is difficult to achieve the programmed adsorption and separation of different proteins using one material, because the available protein imprinted materials are constructed through irreversible crosslinking and their structures are unprogrammable and non-reconstructive. Herein, a novel nanosphere (MS@PTL-g-PNIPAM) is designed, which not only is temperature and pH responsive but also can dynamically reversibly crosslink/de-crosslink under ultraviolet light of different wavelengths. With the help of the dynamically reversible photo-crosslinking, the nanospheres can be repeatedly programmed into protein imprinted nanospheres toward different target proteins. Moreover, the prepared imprinted nanospheres can easily achieve the controlled rebinding and release of target proteins, benefiting from the introduced temperature- and pH-responsive moieties. As a consequence, this study realizes the specific separation of different target proteins from protein mixture and the real bovine blood sequentially by programming one material. It is resource saving, time saving, recyclable, and it will provide convenience for protein imprinted materials to use in the blood purification, drug delivery, and virus detection.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared molecularly imprinted polymer nanogels with good affinity for the Fc domain of immunoglobulin G (IgG) using 4-(2-methacrylamidoethylaminomethyl) phenylboronic acid as a modifiable functional monomer for post-imprinting in-cavity modification of a fluorescent dye (F-Fc-MIP-NGs). A novel nanogel-based biotic/abiotic hybrid sandwich detection system for porcine serum albumin (PSA) was developed using F-Fc-MIP-NGs as an alternative to a secondary antibody for fluorescence detection and another molecularly imprinted polymer nanogel capable of recognizing PSA (PSA-MIP-NGs) as a capturing artificial antibody, along with a natural antibody toward PSA (Anti-PSA) that was used as a primary antibody. After incubation of PSA and Anti-PSA with F-Fc-MIP-NGs, the PSA/Anti-PSA/F-Fc-MIP-NGs complex was captured by immobilized PSA-MIP-NGs for fluorescence measurements. The analysis time was less than 30 min for detecting pork adulteration of 0.01 wt% in halal beef and lamb meats. The detection limit was comparable to that of frequently used immunoassays. Therefore, we believe that this method is a promising, sensitive, and rapid detection method for impurities in real samples and could be a simple, inexpensive, and rapid alternative to conventional methods that have cumbersome procedures of 4 hours or more.

Abstract
Blood transfusion, as well as organ transplantation, is only possible after prior blood group (BG) typing and crossmatching. The most important blood group system is that of Landsteiner's ABO classification based on antigen presence on the erythrocyte surfaces. A mass sensitive QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) sensor for BG typing has been developed by utilizing molecular imprinting technology. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (crosslinked with N,N-methylenebisacrylamide) is a favorable coating that was imprinted with erythrocytes of different blood groups. In total, 10 MHz quartz sheets with two resonators, one for MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) and the other for NIP (non-imprinted polymer) were fabricated and later used for mass-sensitive measurements. The structure of erythrocyte imprints resembles a donut, as identified by AFM (atomic force microscope). All the erythrocytes of the ABO system were chosen as templates and the responses to these selective coatings were evaluated against all blood groups. Each blood group can be characterized by the pattern of responses in an unambiguous way. The results for blood group O are remarkable given that all types of erythrocytes give nearly the same result. This can be easily understood as blood group O does not possess neither antigen A nor antigen B. The responses can be roughly related to the number of respective antigens on the erythrocyte surface. The imprints generate hollows, which are used for reversible recognition of the erythrocytes. This procedure is based on molecular recognition (based on supramolecular strategies), which results from size, shape and enthalpic interactions between host and guest molecules.

Synthetic Peptide Antibodies as TNF-α Inhibitors: Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanogels Neutralize the Inflammatory Activity of TNF-α in THP-1 Derived Macrophages.

Abstract
Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) is a cytokine that is normally produced by immune cells when fighting an infection. But, when too much TNF-α is produced as in autoimmune diseases, this leads to unwanted and persistent inflammation. Anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized the therapy of these disorders by blocking TNF-α and preventing its binding to TNF-α receptors, thus suppressing the inflammation. Herein, we propose an alternative in the form of molecularly imprinted polymer nanogels (MIP-NGs). MIP-NGs are synthetic antibodies obtained by nanomoulding the 3-dimensional shape and chemical functionalities of a desired target in a synthetic polymer. Using an in-house developed in silico rational approach, epitope peptides of TNF-α were generated and 'synthetic peptide antibodies' were prepared. The resultant MIP-NGs bind the template peptide and recombinant TNF-α with high affinity and selectivity, and can block the binding of TNF-α to its receptor. Consequently they were applied to neutralize pro-inflammatory TNF-α in the supernatant of human THP-1 macrophages, leading to a downregulation of the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Our results suggest that MIP-NGs, which are thermally and biochemically more stable and easier to manufacture than antibodies, and cost-effective, are very promising as next generation TNF-α inhibitors for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Neuropeptides are a highly diverse group of signaling molecules found in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral organs, including the enteric nervous system (ENS). Increasing efforts have been focused on dissecting the role of neuropeptides in both neural- and non-neural-related diseases, as well as their potential therapeutic value. In parallel, accurate knowledge on their source of production and pleiotropic functions is still needed to fully understand their implications in biological processes. This review will focus on the analytical challenges involved in studying neuropeptides, particularly in the ENS, a tissue where their abundance is low, together with opportunities for further technical development.

Abstract
The development of targeted and efficient antimicrobials for the selective killing of pathogenic bacteria is of great importance, yet remains challenging. Here, we propose a targeted approach to selectively capture and kill microorganisms with colloidal antibiotic mimics that are readily prepared by common chemical syntheses. The mimics are shape-anisotropic colloids, which can selectively capture shape-matching microorganisms due to lock-key depletion attractions. Furthermore, after being modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and irradiated with near-infrared light, the colloidal mimics can kill the selectively captured microorganisms due to the localized photothermal effect of the AuNPs. The work demonstrates the important ability of anisotropic colloids to selectively capture and precisely kill microorganisms, which holds considerable promise for safe and adaptive antibacterial therapies without the risk of antibiotic resistance.
