Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of n-butylidenephthalide (NBP) is crucial for quality control of Radix Angelica Sinensis (RAS) and its related pharmaceuticals due to their shared pharmacological effects, such as immune enhancement and anti-tumor properties. Current detection methods struggle to quantify NBP quickly and accurately. A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor has been developed, forming a film on PCN-222(Fe) via electropolymerization for the rapid and selective detection of NBP. o-Phenylenediamine (o-PD) was polymerized onto PCN-222(Fe), utilizing its high surface area and porous structure to create a high-performance MIP (MIP/PCN-222(Fe)) sensor. This sensor detects NBP binding at the molecularly imprinted sites through a redox probe, with current changes reflecting the NBP content in the sample. This sensor exhibits a strong affinity for NBP, with a linear detection range from 200 nM to 1 mM, a detection limit of 76 nM, and high specificity towards similar phthalide compounds. Experimental results show that the MIP/PCN-222(Fe) sensor can accurately quantify NBP in real samples, offering a simplified method with promising applications for RAS quality evaluation.
