Preparation of molecular imprinted polymers for solid-phase extraction of L-tetrahydropalmatine / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To prepare the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIPs) of L-tetrahydropalmatine (L-THP) by the molecular imprinting technique and study on solid-phase extraction. Methods: Using L-THP as template, methyl acrylic acid (MAA) as functional monmer, and ehtylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linking agent to prepare the L-THP-MIPs. A test was conducted to investigate the selectivity and the specificity of solid-phase extraction. Results: The experiment showed that the MIPs had the specific adsorption to L-THP, but did not have the specific adsorption to corydaline the structural analogue with L-THP. Conclusion: The L-THP-MIPs have a good selectivity and the specificity of L-THP.
