Molecularly imprinted composite membranes for selective binding and permeation of roxithromycin were prepared by means of thermal initiated co-polymerization method using polysulfone ultra-filtration membranes as porous supports. Scanning electron microscope was utilized to visualize surface and cross-sections of the membranes to gain more better understanding in the analysis of imprinted layers deposited on PSF support membranes and differential scanning calorimetric was used for determining the thermal stability of the membranes. Static equilibrium binding and recognition properties of the imprinted and non-imprinted membranes to roxithromycin and its analogues in ethanol solution system were tested. The results showed that saturated binding capacity of imprinted membrane to roxithromycin was about 2.24μmol/g, higher than those of its analogues, and the selectivity factors of αRM/EM, αRM/AM and αRM/EE were 1.75, 2.46 and 2.67, respectively. The transport performances of the membranes were evaluated through kinetic filtration experiments. The separation mechanism of the roxithromycin imprinted membrane could be defined as facilitated permeation mechanism.

Thin-layer molecularly imprinted composite membranes for selective binding and permeation of levodropopizine were developed via thermal-initiated surface modification of polyvinylidene fluoride microfiltration membranes. ATR-FTIR was used to analyze the surface structures of these membranes. Binding experiments revealed that the saturated binding capacity of MICM was 75.746 umol /g, nearly 3 times higher than that of NICM. Scatchard analysis showed that binding specificity of MICM was a result of multi-site binding to the template. The selective factor of LDPZ and 1-phenylpiperazine was 2.344 in competitive permeation studies. The permeation mechanism of LDPZ imprinted membranes could be inferred as facilitated permeation mechanism.

Abstract High levels of urea and creatinine in the blood are a sign of decreased kidney function. To remove these substances from the blood, hemodialysis which utilizes membranes could be used. In this study, a molecularly imprinted membrane (MIM) was synthesized for the selective transport of urea. The synthesis is initiated with the polymerization of eugenol into polyeugenol and then into polyeugenoxy acetate (PA). The PA is then contacted with urea and then used as the functional polymer in the synthesis of MIM with polysulfone as the membrane base, and polyethylene glycol as the cross-linking agent. The result was later analyzed with FTIR and SEM-EDX. The membrane is then used in the transport of urea, creatinine, and vitamin B12 and then compared with the non-imprinted membrane (NIM) performance. By using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the results showed that the membrane with 10 h heating variation is able to transport more urea and is more selective than NIM; this proves that the urea template on the MIM enables it to recognize urea molecules better than creatinine and vitamin B12. The order of transport from the best results is urea > creatinine > vitamin B12.

The scope of the presented research orientates itself towards the development of a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP)-based dye displacement assay for the colorimetric detection of the antibiotic amoxicillin in aqueous medium. With this in mind, the initial development of an MIP capable of such a task sets focus on monolithic bulk polymerization to assess monomer/crosslinker combinations that have potential towards the binding of amoxicillin. The best performing composition (based on specificity and binding capacity) is utilized in the synthesis of MIP particles by emulsion polymerization, yielding particles that prove to be more homogenous in size and morphology compared to that of the crushed monolithic MIP, which is an essential trait when it comes to the accuracy of the resulting assay. The specificity and selectivity of the emulsion MIP proceeds to be highlighted, demonstrating a higher affinity towards amoxicillin compared to other compounds of the aminopenicillin class (ampicillin and cloxacillin). Conversion of the polymeric receptor is then undertaken, identifying a suitable dye for the displacement assay by means of binding experiments with malachite green, crystal violet, and mordant orange. Once identified, the optimal dye is then loaded onto the synthetic receptor, and the displaceability of the dye deduced by means of a dose response experiment. Alongside the sensitivity, the selectivity of the assay is scrutinized against cloxacillin and ampicillin. Yielding a dye displacement assay that can be used (semi-)quantitatively in a rapid manner.

Flower-like LLM-105 three-dimensional microstructures, which consisted of LLM-105 microrods with rectangular cross-sections, were prepared via a smiple template- and surfactant-free recrystallization process using [Bmim]CF3SO3as good solvent and water as poor solvent. A tentative mechanism for the growth of the flower-like LLM-105 three-dimensional microstructures was proposed on the basis of the analysis of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Comparing with LLM-105 raw material, the thermal decomposition took place at lower temperature and the weight loss has increased for the flower-like three-dimensional microstructures in the differential scanning calorimetric/thermogravimetric (DSC/TG) measurements.

In this study, a unique magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) adsorbent towards bisphenol A (BPA) as a template molecule was developed by bulk polymerization using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a co-monomer with methacrylic acid (MAA) to form MMIP MAA–βCD as a new adsorbent. β-CD was hybridized with MAA to obtain water-compactible imprinting sites for the effective removal of BPA from aqueous samples. Benzoyl peroxide and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate were used as the initiator and cross-linker, respectively. The adsorbents were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and X-ray diffraction. 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to characterize the MAA–βCD and BPA–MAA–βCD complex. Several parameters influencing the adsorption efficiency of BPA such as adsorbent dosage, pH of sample solution, contact time, initial concentrations and temperature as well as selectivity and reusability study have been evaluated. MMIP MAA–βCD showed significantly higher removal efficiency and selective binding capacity towards BPA compared to MMIP MAA owing to its unique morphology with the presence of β-CD. The kinetics data can be well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm and Halsey models best fitted the isotherm data. The thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption reaction was a spontaneous and exothermic process. Therefore, MMIP based on the hybrid monomer of MAA–βCD shows good potential of a new monomer in molecularly imprinted polymer preparation and can be used as an effective adsorbent for the removal of BPA from aqueous solutions.

Effects of 14 days of spaceflight on beta-adrenoceptor (beta-AR), mitochondrial enzyme activities, and fiber type composition were studied in plantaris muscles of male adult Sprague-Dawley rats. The beta-AR was analyzed in cross sections by quantitative autoradiography. The maximum binding capacity (Bmax) of beta-AR was significantly lowered (approximately 29%) after flight, but the recovery was not completed within 9 days in 1-G environment. Because the dissociation constant remained unchanged, it is suggested that the changes in the Bmax were caused by the alteration of receptor number. The activities of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) measured in whole homogenates were subnormal (approximately -24%) in muscles sampled approximately 5 h after flight but they were normalized during 9 days of recovery. The percent composition of fiber types and beta-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) activity did not change significantly due to spaceflight. It is suggested that the spaceflight-induced decrease of the Bmax of beta-AR in plantaris was accompanied by a lowered activity of a mitochondrial inner-membrane enzyme SDH but not a matrix enzyme HAD.
