Applications

Insulin- imprinted polymer

Mixture of methacrylic acid and N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide

Insulin

Reducing insulin release especially when taking insulin orally [55]

DOX-imprinted polymer

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles

DOX

Improvement in efficacy and release of the drug [63]

L-DOPA-imprinted polymer

β-Cyclodextrin and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole

L-DOPA

Enhanced prolonged release of the drug with an excellent clearance profile [67]

DFCR-imprinted polymer

Boronic acid

DFCR

Helps in the control released of the drug and increased selectivity to the target site [71]

5-Fluorouracil- imprinted polymer

Magnetic fluorescent core

5-fluorouracil

Increased efficacy of the drug 25 times than the drug alone [77]

Sunitinib-imprinting polymer

Fluorescent MIP

Sunitinib

Monitoring the drug fluorescently [75]

B family vitamin-imprinting polymers

Hydrophilic multi-template MI biopolymers (mt-MIBP) using chitosan as a bio-substance

Riboflavin, nicotinamide, and pyridoxine

Separation and determination of these vitamins in orange juice [78]

Bovine hemoglobin- imprinting with a fluorescence sensor

Tricolor-emission sensor that was constructed with a mixture of blue, green, and red- emission MIPs

Bovine hemoglobin

Detection and visualize of bovine hemoglobin [79]
