Study on the creation of boronate affinity-based oriented imprinted silica nanoparticles and their selective recognition toward glycopeptide antibiotics in food and water

Abstract

Taking into account the drug resistance of antibiotics, teicoplanin has been banned in the veterinary field. Also, it brings threat to people's health when they eat foods containing teicoplanin residue. In addition, the abuse of teicoplanin in humans and food animals also poses a potential risk to water. Therefore, it is crucial to purify teicoplanin from food before quantifying its amount. In this study, researchers employed boronate affinity-based controlled oriented surface imprinting technique to produce molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for the isolation of teicoplanin. The 3-fluoro-4-formylphenylboronic acid-functionalized silica nanoparticle substrate was first used as the supporting material for immobilizing teicoplanin. Next, the substrate surface was coated with an imprinting coating whose thickness could be controlled, produced through the self-copolymerization of dopamine and m-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) in water. After the template was removed, 3D cavities that matched the template were created in the imprinting layer. The prepared teicoplanin-imprinted silica nanoparticles exhibited several significant satisfactory results such as good specificity, high binding capacity (46.9 ± 2.3 mg g−1), moderate binding constant ((5.46 ± 0.18) × 10−5 M−1), fast kinetics (8 min) and low binding pH (pH 5.0) toward teicoplanin. The teicoplanin-imprinted silica nanoparticles could still be reused after seven cycles of adsorption–desorption, which indicated a high chemical stability. In addition, recoveries of the proposed method for teicoplanin at three spiked levels in milk and water ranged from 91.8 to 105.6% and 92.3 to 97.4%, respectively. The teicoplanin-imprinted silica nanoparticles are capable of identifying the target teicoplanin in real samples in a simple, fast, selective and efficient manner.
