    Abstract:
    An electrochemical sensor for the opioid drug buprenorphine (BUP) is described. Molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIP) were prepared and used to modify a carbon paste electrode (CPE). The BUP-imprinted polymer was synthesized using precipitation polymerization. The resulting polymer along with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) was used to fabricate the modified CPE which exhibited an anodic peak at about +0.73 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for BUP. The MIP on the CPE functions as selective recognition element with an imprinting factor of 5.6. The assay consists of two-steps, viz. analyte extraction at the electrode surface and differential pulse voltammetric determination of BUP. The effects of various parameters on the electrochemical signal were optimized, and the selectivity of the modified CPE over cross reactants was studied. At optimum experimental conditions, the response is linear in the 1 nM to 50 μM BUP concentration range, and the detection limit is 0.6 nM (at S/N = 3). This method was applied to the determination of BUP in spiked urine with acceptable relative standard deviations (3.2-4.4%).
