A novel and robust electrochemical sensing tool for the determination of vismodegib (VIS), an anticancer drug, has been developed by integrating the selective recognition capabilities of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) and the sensitivity enhancement capability of metal-organic framework (MOF). Prior to this step, the electrochemical behavior of VIS was investigated using a bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE). It was observed that in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution as electrolyte, VIS has an oxidation peak around 1.3 V and the oxidation mechanism is diffusion controlled. The determination of VIS in a standard solution using a bare GCE showed a linear response in the concentration range from 2.5 µM to 100 µM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.75 µM. Since sufficient sensitivity and selectivity could not be achieved with bare GCE, a MIP sensor was developed in the next step of the study. For this purpose, the GCE surface was first modified by drop casting with as-synthesized Co-MOF. Subsequently, a MIP network was synthesized via a thermal polymerization approach using 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) as monomer and VIS as template. MOFs are ideal electrode materials due to their controllable and diverse morphologies and modifiable surface properties. These characteristics enable the development of MIPs with more homogeneous binding sites and high affinity for target molecules. Integrating MOFs could help the performance of sensors with the desired stability and reproducibility. Electrochemical analysis revealed an observable enhancement of the output signal by the incorporation of MOF molecules, which is consistent with the sensitivity-enhancing role of MOF by providing more anchoring sites for the attachment of the polymer texture to the electrode surface. This MOF-MIP sensor exhibited impressive linear dynamic ranges ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 pM for VIS, with detection limits in the low picomolar range. In addition, the MOF-MIP sensor offers high accuracy, selectivity and precision for the determination of VIS, with no interference observed from complex media of serum samples. Additionally, in this study, Analytical GREEnness metric (AGREE), Analytical GREEnness preparation (AGREEprep) and Blue Applicability Grade Index (BAGI) were used to calculate the green profile score.

Phytoestrogens are non-steroidal estrogens produced from plants that can bind with the human body's estrogenic receptor site and be used as a substitute for maintaining hormonal balance. They are mainly classified as flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, stilbenes, and coumestans; some are resocyclic acids of lactones, which are mycotoxins and not natural phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens have many beneficial medicinal properties, making them an important part of the daily diet. Electrochemical sensors are widely used analytical tools for analysing various pharmaceuticals, chemicals, pollutants and food items. Electrochemical sensors provide an extensive platform for highly sensitive and rapid analysis. Several reviews have been published on the importance of the biological and medicinal properties of phytoestrogens. However, this review provides an overview of recent work performed through electrochemical measurements with electrochemical sensors and biosensors for all the classes of phytoestrogens done so far since 2019.

This study presented a new method to design a MIP-based electrochemical sensor that could improve the selective and sensitive detection of ipratropium bromide (IPR). The polymeric film was designed using 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as the basic monomer, 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone as the initiator, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinking agent, and N-methacryloyl-L-aspartic acid (MAAsp) as the functional monomer. The presence of MAAsp results in the functional groups in imprinting binding sites, while the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) allows the generation of porous materials not only for sensitive sensing but also for avoiding electron transport limitations. Electrochemical characterizations of the changes at each stage of the MIP preparation process were confirmed using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In addition, morphological characterizations of the developed sensor were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and contact angle measurements. Theoretical calculations were also performed to explain/confirm the experimental results better. It was found that the results of the calculations using the DFT approach agreed with the experimental data. The MAAsp-IPR@MIP/GCE sensor was developed using the photopolymerization method, and the sensor surface was obtained by exposure to UV lamp radiation at 365â¯nm. The improved MIP-based electrochemical sensor demonstrated the ability to measure IPR for standard solutions in the linear operating range of 1.0 × 10-12-1.0 × 10-11 M under optimized conditions. For standard solutions, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were obtained as 2.78 × 10-13 and 9.27 × 10-13 M, respectively. The IPR recovery values for the inhalation form were calculated as 101.70â¯% and 100.34â¯%, and the mean relative standard deviations (RSD) were less than 0.76â¯% in both cases. In addition, the proposed modified sensor demonstrated remarkable sensitivity and selectivity for rapid assessment of IPR in inhalation forms. The sensor's unique selectivity is demonstrated by its successful performance even in the presence of IPR impurities.

The first electrochemical sensor application in the literature is described for the sensitive and selective determination of the selective Janus kinase (JAK)-1 inhibitor abrocitinib (ABR). ABR is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based sensor was designed to incorporate zinc nanoflower (ZnNFs)-graphene oxide (GO) conjugate (ZnNFs@GO), synthesized from the root methanolic extract (RME) of the species Alkanna cappadocica Boiss. et Bal. to improve the porosity and effective surface area of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Furthermore, the MIP structure was prepared using ABR as a template molecule, 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) as a functional monomer, and other additional components. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the surface and structure of the synthesized nanomaterial and MIP-based surface. Among the electrochemical methods, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were preferred for detailed electrochemical characterization, and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was preferred for all other electrochemical measurements using 5.0 mM [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- solution as the redox probe. The MIP-based sensor, which was the result of a detailed optimization phase, gave a linear response in the 1.0 × 10-13 - 1.0 × 10-12 M range in standard solution and serum sample. The obtained limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values and recovery studies demonstrated the sensitivity, accuracy, and applicability of the sensor. Selectivity, the most important feature of the MIP-based sensor, was verified by imprinting factor calculations using ibrutinib, ruxolitinib, tofacitinib, zonisamide, and acetazolamide.

Ovarian cancer, which affects the female reproductive organs, is one of the most common types of cancer. Since this type of cancer has a high mortality rate from gynaecological cancers, the scientific community shows great interest in studies on its treatment. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical treatment methods are used in its treatment. In the absence of targeted treatments in these treatment methods, side effects occur in patients, and patients show resistance to the drug. In addition, the underlying causes of ovarian cancer are still not fully known. The scientific world thinks that genetic factors, environmental conditions, and consumed foods may cause this cancer. The most important factor in the treatment of ovarian cancer is early diagnosis. Therefore, the drugs used in the treatment of ovarian cancer are platinum-based anticancer drugs. In addition to these drugs, the most preferred treatment method recently is targeted treatment approaches using poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. In this review, studies on the sensitive analysis of the treatment methods of these new-generation drugs used in the treatment of ovarian cancer have been comprehensively examined. In addition, the basic features, structural aspects, and biological data of analytical methods used in treatments with new-generation drugs are explained. Analytical studies carried out in the literature in recent years aim to show future developments in how these new-generation drugs are used today and to guide future studies by comprehensively examining and explaining the structure-activity relationship, mechanism of action, toxicity, and pharmacokinetic studies. Finally, in this study, the methods used in the analysis of drugs used in the treatment of ovarian cancer and the studies conducted between 2015 and 2023 were discussed in detail.

Herein, we proposed a new approach to design a MIP-based electrochemical sensor with carbon nanofiber (CNF), which could improve its conductivities as well as electrode sensitivity and successful detection of dasatinib (DAS). CNFs are capable of forming high porosity with significant interconnected porous networks. The poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-L-tyrosine) (PHEMA-MATyr) copolymer was synthesized in the presence of both CNF and DAS by photopolymerization. After optimization of the parameters, the modified MIP-based electrochemical sensor demonstrated the ability to determine the DAS in the linear working range of 1.0 × 10-14-1.0 × 10-13 M for the standard solution and commercial serum samples with a LOD of 1.76 × 10-15 and 2.46 × 10-15, respectively. Good linearity for DAS was observed with correlation coefficients (r) of 0.996 and 0.997 for the standard solution and commercial serum samples, respectively. The recoveries of the DAS ranged from 99.45 % to 99.53 % for the tablet dosage form and commercial serum samples, with average relative standard deviations below 1.96 % in both cases. The proposed modified sensor demonstrated significant sensitivity and selectivity for the rapid determination of DAS in commercial serum samples and tablet form.

In preparing monoclonal antibodies by hybridoma cell technology, the quality of B lymphocytes used for cell fusion directly affects the sensitivity of monoclonal antibodies. To obtain B-lymphocytes producing high-quality specific antibodies for cell fusion during the immunization phase of the antigen, we prepared a TH2-Cell stimulatory delivery system as a novel adjuvant. Astragalus polysaccharide has a good ability to enhance antigenic immune response, and it was encapsulated in biocompatible materials PLGA as an immunostimulatory factor to form the delivery system (APS-PLGA). The preparation conditions of APSP were optimized using RSM to attain the highest utilization of APS. Immunization against ZEN-BSA antigen using APSP as an adjuvant to obtain B lymphocytes producing ZEN-specific antibodies for cell fusion. As results present, APSP could induce a stronger TH2 immune response through differentiating CD4 T cells and promoting IL-4 and IL-6 cytokines. Moreover, it could slow down the release efficiency of ZEN-BSA and enhance the targeting of ZEN-BSA to lymph nodes in vivo experiments. Ultimately, the sensitivity of mouse serum ZEN-specific antibodies was enhanced upon completion of immunization, indicating a significant upregulation of high-quality B lymphocyte expression. In the preparation of monoclonal antibodies, the proportion of positive wells for the first screening was 60%, and the inhibition rates of the antibodies were all similar (>50%). Then we obtained the ZEN monoclonal antibody with IC50 of 0.049 ng/mL, which was more sensitive than most antibodies prepared under conventional adjuvants. Finally, a TRFIAS strip assay was preliminarily established with a LOD value of 0.246 ng/mL.

Acyclovir (ACV), a synthetic nucleoside derivative of purine, is one of the most potent antiviral medications recommended in the specific management of varicella-zoster and herpes simplex viruses. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was utilized to create an effective and specific electrochemical sensor using a straightforward photopolymerization process to determine ACV. The polymeric thin coating was developed using the template molecule ACV, a functional monomer acrylamide, a basic monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, a cross-linker ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and a photoinitiator 2-hydroxy-2-methyl propiophenone on the exterior of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry were employed for the purpose of characterizing the constructed sensor (AM-ACV@MIP/GCE). Differential pulse voltammetry and a 5 mM ferrocyanide/ferricyanide ([Fe(CN)6]3-/4-) redox reagent were used to detect the ACV binding to the specific cavities on MIP. The study involves density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which were conducted to investigate template-functional monomer interactions thoroughly, calculate template-functional monomer interaction energies, and determine the optimal template/functional monomer ratio. DFT calculations were performed using Becke's three-parameter hybrid functional with the Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional (B3LYP) method and 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The sensor exhibits linear performance throughout the concentration region 1 × 10-11 to 1 × 10-10 M, and the limit of detection and limit of quantification were 7.15 × 10-13 M and 2.38 × 10-12 M, respectively. For the electrochemical study of ACV, the sensor demonstrated high accuracy, precision, robustness, and a short detection time. Furthermore, the developed electrochemical sensor exhibited exceptional recovery in tablet dosage form and commercial human blood samples, with recoveries of 99.40 and 100.44%, respectively. The findings showed that the AM-ACV@MIP/GCE sensor would effectively be used to directly assess pharmaceuticals from actual specimens and would particularly detect ACV compared to structurally similar pharmaceutical compounds.

Eltrombopag is an oral non-peptide thrombopoietin receptor (TPO-R) agonist indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, ITP) or chronic hepatitis C infection and the treatment of severe aplastic anemia. The purpose of this research was to assess the possible impurities that may carry over to eltrombopag from its precursor Eltro-1 (3'-amino-2'-hydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid) and to develop a specific analytical method for the determination of these impurities. Eltro-1 samples synthesized by two different synthesis routes were investigated during the evaluation and method development studies. Besides the expected process-related impurities (Eltro-1A - Eltro-1J), e.g., starting materials, intermediates, and/or compounds formed from their further reactions, an unknown impurity detected above 0.10% was identified by LC-MS, synthesized and fully characterized by NMR, MS and FTIR (Eltro-1K). Accordingly, an HPLC-RP method for the determination of eleven impurities (Eltro-1A - Eltro-1K) in Eltro-1 was developed and validated according to ICH Q2. The control limits for impurities in Eltro-1 were set at ≤ 0.15% for Eltro-1A - Eltro-1J and ≤ 1.0% for Eltro-1K based on fate, spike-purge and carryover studies and in accordance with the ICH M7 classification for impurities in drug substance. Eltro-1 and eleven impurities at the specification limit were separated from each other and the diluent peaks with sufficient resolution without interference. Separation was performed on a Waters XBridge C18 column (150 × 4.6â¯mm, 3.5 µm) at 40 °C with a 10⯵L injection volume at a detection wavelength of 220â¯nm and 15 °C sample temperature. The gradient elution is performed at a flow rate of 1.0â¯mL/min for 40â¯min with mobile phase A (0.1% orthophosphoric acid in water) and B (acetonitrile) according to the following program: Time (min) / Acetonitrile (%): 0/0, 35/70, 36/0, 40/0. Test and standard solutions were prepared at a concentration of 1.0â¯mg/mL and 1.0⯵g/mL, respectively, using a mixture of mobile phase A and acetonitrile (75/25) as diluent. This is the first specific, selective, sensitive, linear, precise, accurate, and robust HPLC method for the determination of Eltro-1A - Eltro-1K in Eltro-1, which showed no significant degradation under thermal stress, photostability (UV and VIS), and standard accelerated and long-term stability conditions.

Rutin (RUT), a natural flavonoid with various beneficial pharmacological actions such as cardioprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, etc., is found in the content of many plants that are consumed daily. Due to the healthful effects, RUT is also included in the composition of various herbal supplement samples. Therefore, it is highly important to develop a sensor with high selectivity and sensitivity to determine RUT in complex samples. In this study, it was aimed to take advantage of the cheap, easy, and sensitive nature of electrochemistry and, in addition, to improve the selectivity. For this purpose, the functional monomer selected in the fabricated molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was N-methacryloyl-L-aspartic acid (MA-Asp) while photopolymerization (PP) was applied as the polymerization route. After completing critical optimization steps, the developed sensor (MA-Asp@RUT/MIP-GCE) was characterized electrochemically and morphologically. As a result of analytical performance evaluation in standard solution, the linear response of the sensor was found in the concentration range between 1 and 10 pM with a detection limit of 0.269 pM. The recovery studies from plant extract and commercial herbal supplement samples emphasized accuracy and applicability. In imprinting factor studies figuring out quite good selectivity, molecules with a structure similar to RUT were selected as competitors to prove the affinity of the sensor against RUT. Consequently, the MA-Asp@RUT/MIP-GCE sensor offers a more sensitive and selective method thanks to its indirect analysis approach and also stands out with the diversity of its real sample application compared to other available studies.

Lifitegrast is a lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) antagonist used to treat the indications and symptoms associated with dry eye disease (DED), one of the most common ocular surface diseases. Lifitegrast has a chiral center, and the S-enantiomer (S-Lif) is responsible for the therapeutic effects, while the R-enantiomer (R-Lif) lacks efficacy in the treatment of DED. Lifitegrast ophthalmic solution containing 5% lifitegrast was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2016 for the treatment of DED in patients 17 years of age and older. The objective of this study was to develop a chiral HPLC method for the determination of the enantiomeric impurity of lifitegrast in the drug substance and in the ophthalmic product. In addition, we aimed to investigate the effect of stress and stability conditions on the enantiomeric purity of lifitegrast in both drug substance and ophthalmic solution. During the method development studies, four known lifitegrast impurities (Lif. Imp. A-D) and stressed lifitegrast samples were injected to ensure the specificity of the developed method. The enantiomers of lifitegrast are well separated with a resolution of higher than 4.0. They are also well separated from the peaks of the diluent, impurities, and the placebo used to prepare the ophthalmic solution without interference in 20â¯min. Chiral separation was achieved using a Chiralpak AD-H column (250 × 4.6â¯mm, 5.0 µm) at 40 °C with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of n-hexane, 2-propanol, and formic acid (500:500:2, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0â¯mL/min and a detection wavelength of 260â¯nm. Methanol was used as the diluent, and the drug substance solution was found to be stable for 48â¯h at 15 °C. The optimized chiral HPLC method for lifitegrast was validated according to ICH Q2, and the calibration curves showed excellent linearity for R-Lif (0.0369 - 1.816⯵g/mL). This is the first stability-indicating, specific / selective, sensitive, linear, precise, accurate, and robust chiral HPLC method for the determination of R-Lif in S-Lif. The amount of enantiomeric impurity R-Lif in S-Lif increased under all stress and photostability test conditions without exceeding the acceptable impurity limit, with the most significant increase observed at elevated temperatures (105 °C) for both the drug substance in powder form and the ophthalmic drug solution.

This study focuses on the detection of ethyl methyl phosphonic acid (EMPA), a metabolite of the banned organophosphorus nerve agent VX. We developed an electrochemical sensor utilizing the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) based on 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) and tetraethyl orthosilicate for the selective detection of EMPA in human plasma and urine samples. The 4-ABA@EMPA/MIP/GCE sensor was constructed by a thermal polymerization process on a glassy carbon electrode and sensor characterization was performed by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The 4-ABA@EMPA/MIP/GCE sensor demonstrated impressive linear ranges 1.0 × 10-10 M-2.5 × 10-9 M for the standard solution, 1.0 × 10-10 M-2.5 × 10-9 M for the urine sample, and 1.0 × 10-10 M-1 × 10-9 M of EMPA for the plasma sample with outstanding detection limits of 2.75 × 10-11 M (standard solution), 2.11 × 10-11 M (urine), and 2.36 × 10-11 M (plasma). The sensor exhibited excellent recovery percentages ranging from 99.86 to 101.30% in urine samples and 100.62 to 101.08% in plasma samples. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the 4-ABA@EMPA/MIP/GCE as a straightforward, highly sensitive, and selective interface capable of detecting the target analyte EMPA in human plasma and urine samples.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have become more prevalent in fabricating sensor applications, particularly in medicine, pharmaceuticals, food quality monitoring, and the environment. The ease of their preparation, adaptability of templates, superior affinity and specificity, improved stability, and the possibility for downsizing are only a few benefits of these sensors. Moreover, from a medical perspective, monitoring therapeutic medications and determining pharmaceutical compounds in their pharmaceutical forms and biological systems is very important. Additionally, because medications are hazardous to the environment, effective, quick, and affordable determination in the surrounding environment is of major importance. Concerning a variety of performance criteria, including sensitivity, specificity, low detection limits, and affordability, MIP sensors outperform other published technologies for analyzing pharmaceutical drugs. MIP sensors have, therefore, been widely used as one of the most crucial techniques for analyzing pharmaceuticals. The first part of this review provides a detailed explanation of the many polymerization techniques that were employed to create high-performing MIP sensors. In the subsequent section of the review, the utilization of MIP-based sensors for quantifying the drugs in their pharmaceutical preparation, biological specimens, and environmental samples are covered in depth. Finally, a critical evaluation of the potential future research paths for MIP-based sensors clarifies the use of MIP in pharmaceutical fields.
RÉSUMÉ
Lung cancer is mainly seen as the cancer type in the world. Lung cancer causes the death of many people. It is classified as large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), and adenocarcinoma by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive type of cancer, accounting for approximately 20% of all cases. By performing the serological analysis of expression cDNA libraries (SEREX), the humoral immune response of SCLC patients is determined. SEREX of SCLC cell lines using pooled sera of SCLC patients led to the isolation of SOX2 genes. The between SOX2 antigen expression intensity and autologous antibody presence has a significant correlation because SOX2 is the main antigen eliciting anti-SOX responses. Electrochemical biosensors take much attention because of their simplicity, selectivity, and sensitivity in clinical analysis. Antibody-based surface recognizes antibody-specific antigens. This work aims to fabricate an immunosensor for determining autologous SOX2 antibodies using a multi-walled carbon nanotube-modified screen-printed electrode (DRP-MWCNT). All immobilization processes were evaluated with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The critical parameters were optimized, such as EDC/NHS concentration and time, SOX2 protein concentration and incubation time, BSA ratio, BSA blocking time, and anti-SOX2 antibody incubation time. The developed immunosensor, under optimal conditions, shows a linear response of autologous SOX2 antibody between 0.005 ng.mL-1 and 0.1 ng.mL-1. The limit of detection and quantification were 0.001 and 0.004 ng.mL-1, respectively. The electrode morphologies were examined with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Lastly, the developed immunosensor was applied to a synthetic serum sample, and the linear range was compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
