A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) that is selective to ketoprofen was synthesized and applied in the adsorption of the target compound from water. The MIP was synthesized using a bulk polymerization method at high temperatures (60–80°C), where ketoprofen, 2-vinylpyridine, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, toluene and 1,1´-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) were used as template, functional monomer, cross-linker, porogen and initiator, respectively. Non-imprinted polymer (NIP) was synthesized similarly to the MIP but in the absence of ketoprofen. From molecular dynamics simulation, the nature of interactions that occurred between the template and the functional monomer were found to be based on hydrogen bonding. This was confirmed experimentally, where a high extraction efficiency of ≥ 90% was obtained at acidic conditions (pH 5) due to the protonation of ketoprofen. A contact time of 45 min was sufficient for the maximum adsorption of ketoprofen from 10 mL spiked water using 8 mg of the adsorbent. MIP showed greater selectivity than NIP by achieving a relative selectivity coefficient of 7.7 towards ketoprofen in the presence of structurally related pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, the order of sorption onto the MIPs from water was ketoprofen > fenoprofen > gemfibrozil. From a modelling perspective, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model gave the best fit, with maximum adsorption capacity of 8.24 mg·g−1 and sorption rate constant of 0.25 mg·g−1·min−1 for MIP. This was translated to chemisorption of ketoprofen onto the homogeneous MIP binding sites. This work demonstrated the great potential of MIP in selective recognition of ketoprofen from wastewater relative to closely related compounds.

Abstract An analytical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 11 aminoglycoside (AG) antibiotics, including amikacin, paromomycin, dihydrostreptomycin, gentamicin C1a, hygromycin, kanamycin, netilmicin, spectinomycin, sisomicin, streptomycin, and tobramycin in honey, milk, and pork samples by LC with tandem MS and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) SPE. The AG antibiotics in milk and homogenated meat samples were extracted with a solution composed of 10 mmol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.4 mmol/L EDTA-Na2, and 2% trichloroacetic acid. For honey samples, the extractant was 50 mmol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The extracts were cleaned up with MIP SPE cartridges. The separation was performed on a zwitter ionic-HILIC column (50 × 2.1 mm, 3.5 μm), with the mobile phase consisting of methanol, 0.3% formic acid, and 175 mmol/L ammonium formate at 0.50 mL/min in gradient elution. A triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source, which was operated in positive mode, was used for detection. The quantification was based on matrix-matched calibration curves. The method was applied to real samples with three different matrixes. The LODs of the method were 2–30 μg/kg and the LOQs were 7–100 μg/kg; the average recovery ranged from 78.2 to 94.8%; intraday RSDs and interday RSDs were ≤15 and ≤18%, respectively; and the absolute values of matrix effect for all AGs were RSDs ≤23%.
