Abstract

Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) for antitumor drug Epothilone B have been synthesized with bulk polumerization in order to specifically extract this agent in the present study. MIP was prepared by thermal polymerisation using Epothilone B as template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linking agent. The best synthesis progenic solvent was ultimately determined when the bonding property of the polymer was studied. The selectivity of imprinted polymer on Epothilone B was also studied. The equilibrium binding experiments showed that the binding site of MIPs was heterogeneous with one binding site. Equilibrium dissociation constant was 3.37 mg/ml, the maximum apparent adsorption was 335 mg/g.
