Molecular imprinting and related technologies are becoming increasingly appreciated in bioanalysis and diagnostic applications. Among the imprinted polymers, we have already demonstrated that the endogenous neurotransmitters (NTs) dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) can be efficiently used as natural and sustainable monomers to straightforwardly design and synthesize a new generation of green and “soft” Molecularly Imprinted BioPolymers (MIBPs). Here, we demonstrated for the first time the ability of a further NT, i.e., serotonin (SE), in forming adhesive imprinted nanofilms coupled to label-free optical biosensing. Its imprinting efficiency is compared with those obtained with PDA and PNE. As a model study, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) was selected as a biomolecular target of interest in clinical diagnostics. The biomimetic receptor was coupled to Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), and TNF-α detection was performed in label-free and real-time manner both in buffer and biological matrices, i.e. synovial fluid and human serum. The results indicate that, under the same imprinting and binding conditions, the analytical performances of PSE are impressively superior to those of PDA and PNE. The PSE-based MIBP was able to detect TNF-α in human matrices with a good sensitivity, selectivity, and repeatability.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting and related technologies are becoming increasingly appreciated in bioanalysis and diagnostic applications. Among the imprinted polymers, we have already demonstrated that the endogenous neurotransmitters (NTs) dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) can be efficiently used as natural and sustainable monomers to straightforwardly design and synthesize a new generation of green and “soft” Molecularly Imprinted BioPolymers (MIBPs). Here, we demonstrated for the first time the ability of a further NT, i.e., serotonin (SE), in forming adhesive imprinted nanofilms coupled to label-free optical biosensing. Its imprinting efficiency is compared with those obtained with PDA and PNE. As a model study, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) was selected as a biomolecular target of interest in clinical diagnostics. The biomimetic receptor was coupled to Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), and TNF-α detection was performed in label-free and real-time manner both in buffer and biological matrices, i.e. synovial fluid and human serum. The results indicate that, under the same imprinting and binding conditions, the analytical performances of PSE are impressively superior to those of PDA and PNE. The PSE-based MIBP was able to detect TNF-α in human matrices with a good sensitivity, selectivity, and repeatability.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
