Restricted access molecularly imprinted polymers (RAMIPs) have been efficiently used for the extraction of small organic molecules from untreated biological matrices (e.g. blood, plasma, serum, and milk). These materials have been obtained by modifying the external surface of conventional molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with hydrophilic monomer grafting, crosslinked protein capsule or a combination of both. These sorbents aggregate the selectivity of MIPs with the ability to exclude macromolecules of restricted access materials (RAMs), being widely employed in solid phase extraction techniques, beyond their use in sensors. In this review, we discuss about the design and application of RAMIPs in biological sample preparation, emphasizing the future trends and remaining challenges of this technology for bioanalyses.

Restricted access molecularly imprinted polymers (RAMIPs) are hybrid materials that present selective binding sites for a template (or similar molecules), and an external hydrophilic layer that avoids the binding of proteins to the material, making them appropriate for the sample preparation of protein fluids.

Steroid hormones are active substances that are necessary in the normal functioning of all physiological activities in the body, such as sexual characteristics, metabolism, and mood control. They are also widely used as exogenous chemicals in medical and pharmaceutical applications as treatments and at times growth promoters in animal farming. The vast application of steroid hormones has resulted in them being found in different matrices, such as food, environmental, and biological samples. The presence of hormones in such matrices means that they can easily come into contact with humans and animals as exogenous compounds, resulting in abnormal concentrations that can lead to endocrine disruption. This makes their determination in different matrices a vital part of pollutant management and control. Although advances in analytical instruments are constant, it has been determined that these instruments still require some sample preparation steps to be able to determine the occurrence of pollutants in the complex matrices in which they occur. Advances are still being made in sample preparation to ensure easier, selective, and sensitive analysis of complex matrices. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been termed as advanced solid-phase (SPE) materials for the selective extraction and preconcentration of hormones in complex matrices. This review explores the preparation and application of MIPs for the determination of steroid hormones in different sample types.

Abstract In the world of forensic and clinical toxicology, proper sample preparation is one of the key steps in identification and quantification of drugs of abuse. Traditional extraction methods such as solid-phase extraction and liquid−liquid extraction are often laborious and nonselective for the target analytes being measured. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be synthesized for sample extraction and their versatility allows the polymer to be employed in off-line, benchtop extractions or on/in-line instrument extractions, offering a faster and more selective sample preparation without the risk of interfering matrix effects. This review details the synthesis and applications of MIP materials for the extraction of drug compounds from biological matrices in publications from 1994 to today.
