Molecularly Imprinted Microspheres

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are specific crosslinked polymers that exhibit binding sites for template molecules. MIPs have been developed in various application areas of biology and chemistry; however, MIPs have some problems, including an irregular material shape. In recent years, studies have been conducted to overcome this drawback, with the synthesis of uniform microsphere MIPs or molecularly imprinted microspheres (MIMs). The polymer microsphere is limited to a minimum size of 5 nm and a molecular weight of 10,000 Da. This review describes the methods used to produce MIMs, such as precipitation polymerisation, controlled/‘Living’ radical precipitation polymerisation (CRPP), Pickering emulsion polymerisation and suspension polymerisation. In addition, some green chemistry aspects and future perspectives will also be given.

This perspective presents an overview of approaches to the preparation of molecular recognition agents for chemical sensing. These approaches include chemical synthesis, using catalysts from biological systems, partitioning, aptamers, antibodies and molecularly imprinted polymers. The latter three approaches are general in that they can be applied with a large number of analytes, both proteins and smaller molecules like drugs and hormones. Aptamers and antibodies bind analytes rapidly while molecularly imprinted polymers bind much more slowly. Most molecularly imprinted polymers, formed by polymerizing in the presence of a template, contain a high level of covalent crosslinker that causes the polymer to form a separate phase. This results in a material that is rigid with low affinity for analyte and slow binding kinetics. Our approach to templating is to use predominantly or exclusively noncovalent crosslinks. This results in soluble templated polymers that bind analyte rapidly with high affinity. The biggest challenge of this approach is that the chains are tangled when the templated polymer is dissolved in water, blocking access to binding sites.

Background: Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs), a type of biomimetic materials have attracted considerable interest owing to their cost-effectiveness, good physiochemical stability, favorable specificity and selectivity for target analytes, and long shelf life. These materials are able to mimic natural recognition entities, including biological receptors and antibodies, providing a versatile platform to achieve the desirable functionality for various biomedical applications. Objective: In this review article, we introduce the most recent development of MIPs to date. We first highlight the advantages of using MIPs for a broad range of biomedical applications. We then review their various methods of synthesis along with their latest progress in biomedical applications, including biosensing, drug delivery, cell imaging and drug discovery. Lastly, the existing challenges and future perspectives of MIPs for biomedical applications are briefly discussed. Conclusion: We envision that MIPs may be used as potential materials for diverse biomedical applications in the near future.

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.
