Simultaneous analysis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs using electrochemically controlled solid-phase microextraction based on nanostructure molecularly imprinted polypyrrole film coupled to ion mobility spectrometry

Abstract

A simple, rapid, and highly sensitive method for simultaneous analysis of anti-inflammatory drugs (naproxen, ibuprofen, and mefenamic acid) in diluted human serum was developed using the electrochemically controlled solid-phase microextraction coupled to ion mobility spectrometry. A conducting molecularly imprinted polymer film based on polypyrrole was synthesized for the selective uptake and release of drugs. The film was prepared by incorporation of a template molecule (naproxen) during the electropolymerization of pyrrole onto a platinum electrode using cyclic voltammetry method. The measured ion mobility spectrometry intensity was related to the concentration of analytes taken up into the films. The calibration graphs (naproxen, ibuprofen, and mefenamic acid) were linear in the range of 0.1-30 ng/mL and detection limits were 0.07-0.37 ng/mL and relative standard deviation was lower than 6%. On the basis of the results obtained in this work, the conducting molecularly imprinted polymer films as absorbent have been applied in the electrochemically controlled solid-phase microextraction and ion mobility spectrometry system for the selective clean-up and quantification of trace amounts of anti-inflammatory drugs in human serum samples. Scanning electron microscopy has confirmed the nano-structure morphology of the polypyrrole film.

Determination of dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine by open-tubular capillary electrochromatography using graphene oxide molecularly imprinted polymers as the stationary phase

“…Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are cross‐linked organic structures containing certain molecular recognition sites complementary in shape, size, and functional groups to the template molecule, which possess high selectivity and affinity to the target molecule. MIPs can be used as ideal materials in various applications, such as electrochemical sensors , chiral separation , separation science as well as CEC .…”

Carbon nanotubes-A resin for electrochemically modulated liquid chromatography

“…The EMLC with MWCNT has the potential to become an exciting alternative for the first separation step in a preparative chromatographic process. We hope that this study will encourage further work in the field not only of EMLC but also of other, similar separation techniques, such as electrochemically controlled extraction, which has been gaining importance in the last years [38][39][40][41].…”
