Abstract
Roxadustat (ROX), a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF–PHI), effectively treats anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) by increasing hemoglobin levels by activating the body's natural hypoxic response. This work details the development and manufacturing of an electrochemical sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) and supported by MXene for the detection of ROX. Additionally, MIP-based sensors were created to identify ROX in standard solutions and biological samples. In the MIP-based electrochemical sensor developed using the photopolymerization (PP) method on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface were utilized 2-dimensional Nb2CTx MXene (2D Nb2CTx) as a pore former, 3-amino phenylboronic acid (3-APBA) served as the functional monomer, and ROX as the template molecule. Under optimized experimental conditions, the designed sensor exhibited a linearity range of 1.0 × 10−13 – 1.0 × 10−12 M. Interference studies confirmed the superior selectivity of the MIP-based sensor for ROX, demonstrating its effectiveness in various binary mixtures. The recovery values of the MIP-based sensors were found to be 100.80% for commercial tablet samples and 99.53% for commercial serum samples. Moreover, the relative selectivity coefficient (k′) of the proposed sensor was calculated. This recently designed sensor provides a promising method for quickly, sensitively, economically, and selectively analyzing ROX. The results obtained in high selectivity and recovery studies make the developed sensor a valuable tool for various applications in clinical and pharmaceutical environments. In addition, this study achieved better sensitivity than other studies in the literature and is the first electrochemical sensor prepared using Nb2CTx MXene nanomaterials-supported MIP technology for ROX measurement.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
