Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer beads for drug radioligand binding assay

Abstract

Molecularly imprinted polymer–magnetic iron oxide composite materials which exhibit recognition properties and can be withdrawn from solution by application of a magnetic field were prepared for the first time. Magnetic iron oxide was incorporated using a suspension polymerisation methodology with a perfluorocarbon liquid as the dispersing phase for the preparation of methacrylic acid-1,1,1-trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate copolymer beads molecularly imprinted with the β-blocker (S)-propranolol. The resulting superparamagnetic imprinted polymer beads were capable of binding [³H]-(S)-propranolol more strongly than a non-imprinted, otherwise identical, polymer. In a competitive radioligand binding assay using a magnet to separate polymer from solution, (R)-propranolol and (R,S)-metoprolol exhibited cross-reactivities of 19 and 0.7%, respectively, compared with (S)-propranolol.
