Abstract
The present research study reports the development of plastic antibodies based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) capable of selectively binding a portion of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Indeed, molecular imprinting represents a very promising and attractive technology for the synthesis of MIPs characterized by specific recognition abilities for a target molecule. Given these characteristics, MIPs can be considered tailor-made synthetic antibodies obtained by a templating process. After in silico analysis, imprinted nanoparticles were synthesized by inverse microemulsion polymerization and their ability to prevent the interaction between ACE2 and the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 was investigated. Of relevance, the developed synthetic antibodies are capable of significantly inhibiting virus replication in Vero cell culture, suggesting their potential application in the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
In recent years, with the development of molecular imprinting technology, the imprinting sites, nature of imprinting, selection of functional monomers, cross-linking agents, solvents, and the optimization of the imprinting ratio are all the hot spots of researchers. In this work, the theoretical prediction of the self-assembly system of formaldehyde (HCHO) molecularly imprinted polymer was carried out by the B3LYP/6-31 G(d,p) method. The geometric configuration and active sites of the stable complex of HCHO and methacrylic acid (MAA) were analyzed. The selection of the imprinting ratios, cross-linking agents, and solvents was discussed. The topological properties of electron density of HCHO-MAA complex were considered by using the topological analysis method of chemical bond electron density based on valence bond theory. This study cannot only reveal the relationship between the imprinting mechanism of molecularly imprinted polymers and the molecular structure and properties of molecularly imprinted polymers but also provide valuable reference for the design and preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers.

Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:E1332. [PMID: 31405248 PMCID: PMC6722725 DOI: 10.3390/polym11081332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2019] [Revised: 08/04/2019] [Accepted: 08/08/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Surface imprinting is an effective and simple method to fabricate and retain imprinted templates and recognizable nanocavities after template extraction. The imprinted effects can be controlled depending on the surface morphological changes. In general, a planar film has a limited area compared to a structured film with relatively higher surface-to-volume (S/V) ratio (A/A0), leading to the conventional sensing response upon the functionality of monomers in a fixed chemical composition. To increase the limited sensing properties and develop simple fabrication of porous arrays on a large area, we herein demonstrate the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D, herbicide)-imprinted porous thin film lithographically patterned using photopolymerization and silica colloidal array as a master mold, derived by a unidirectional rubbing method. The resonant frequency changes with respect to the adsorption of 2,4-D molecules on a template-extracted porous poly(MAA-co-EGDMA) (MIP) film in a 10-1 mM aqueous solution of 2,4-D for 1 h, and when compared to the planar MIP film, the higher sensing response (Δf = -283 ± 7 Hz ≈ 1543 ± 38 ng/cm2) appears on the porous MIP film due to the specific recognition toward the more accessible templated cavities of the structured porous array, indicating an imprinting effect (If) value of 3.5. In addition, a higher selectivity for 2,4-D was also displayed on the porous MIP film compared to other herbicides. From these results, it was revealed that these improved sensing properties can be determined from the effects of various parameters (template functionality, film structuring, hydroxyl groups of silica colloids, etc.).
