Computational design and development of a novel voltammetric sensor for minoxidil detection based on electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymer

The Use of Computational Methods for the Development of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

“…Investigations involving template–monomer complex studies have employed different methods, basis sets and levels of theories on several occasions. The majority of these studies employed DFT methods [ 124 , 131 , 132 , 133 , 134 , 135 , 136 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 , 143 , 144 , 145 , 146 , 147 , 148 , 149 , 150 , 151 , 152 , 153 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 , 162 , 163 , 164 , 165 , 166 , 167 , 168 , 169 , 170 , 171 , 172 , 173 , 174 , 175 , 176 , 177 , 178 , 179 , 180 ,…”

Application of Janus Magnetic Nanoparticle Fe3O4@SiN functionalized with beta‐cyclodextrin in thymol drug delivery procedure: An in vitro study

“…[37,38] Imprinted polymers are an essential strategy for increasing the selectivity of drug delivery applications. [39,40] There are not many herbal medicines with a chemical functional group to create strong interaction with carriers. This result showed that despite extensive studies conducted on drug delivery with magnetic carriers, the drugs' focus was on the strong bonding functional group.…”

“…Thymol, also known as 2‐isopropyl‐5‐methylphenol, is one of the most important herbal medicines that possess anti‐cancer, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. [ 39 ] In the other studies, the polymer was grafted onto modified Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 to be utilized as a possible adsorbent Fe 3 O 4 ; essentially, results demonstrated that the best adsorption on the modified magnetite nano‐sorbent occurred. [ 41,42 ]…”

Molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor based on an electrode modified with an imprinted pyrrole film immobilized on a β-cyclodextrin/gold nanoparticles/graphene layer

“…[1][2][3] Up to now, molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensors (MIECSs) have been successfully used to detect many kinds of molecules. [4][5][6] For constructing imprinted electrochemical sensor, it is important to construct an efficient electrode surface for targets imprinting and electronic signal transfer. A variety of nanomaterials and nanocomposites were used to modify electrode to promote the effective surface area and the electron transfer rate of the electrode, leading to the improvement of the sensitivity and selectivity of MIECSs.…”
