The Recent Advances of Fluorescent Sensors Based on Molecularly Imprinted Fluorescent Nanoparticles for Pharmaceutical Analysis

Abstract

Summary Fluorescent nanoparticles have good chemical stability and photostability, controllable optical properties and larger stokes shift. In light of their designability and functionability, the fluorescent nanoparticles are widely used as the fluorescent probes for diverse applications. To enhance the sensitivity and selectivity, the combination of the fluorescent nanoparticles with the molecularly imprinted polymer, i.e. molecularly imprinted fluorescent nanoparticles (MIFN), was an effective way. The sensor based on MIFN (the MIFN sensor) could be more compatible with the complex sample matrix, which was especially widely adopted in medical and biological analysis. In this mini-review, the construction method, detective mechanism and types of MIFN sensors are elaborated. The current applications of MIFN sensors in pharmaceutical analysis, including pesticides/herbicide, veterinary drugs/drugs residues and human related proteins, are highlighted based on the literature in the recent three years. Finally, the research prospect and development trend of the MIFN sensor are forecasted.

Fluorescence-Based Sensing of Pesticides Using Supramolecular Chemistry

“…Other practical concerns relate to the ability to remove the template completely following polymerization, and the suitability of implementing such conditions in large scale sensor development. Notable advantages to the use of MIPs include their extremely high selectivity for the target analyte, which is accomplished by use of the template that creates perfectly tailored binding sites (Wang et al, 2020k), as well as their durability under a variety of conditions that enable widespread usage (Saylan et al, 2017).…”

Multivariate Assessment of Procedures for Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Synthesis for Pesticides Determination in Environmental and Agricultural Samples

“…Considering the QDs/CDs production strategy based on their low-cost, good efficiency, easily controllable conditions, size and morphology, the bottom-up approach is the most popular solution [78,79]. The final modification (imprinting process) and preparation of core for QD/CD-MIPs synthesis might be performed employing the free radical polymerization, the sol-gel method, and the reverse microemulsion method [63,80,81]. For this reason, considering the application of QDs/CDs MIPs in the analytical practice, the most crucial element is the appropriate preparation and functionalization of desired sorption nanomaterials.…”
