Abstract:
Separation of active ingredients from Chinese materia medica (CMM) by molecularly imprinted polymers has such advantages as high speed, low cost, being reusable, low pollution, and so on. Because of this reason, the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers and its application in separation have drawn more and more attention of researchers in the field of CMM all over the world. Obviously, the core of this research is to explore the relationship between the polymer-structure and separation efficiency. Based on the types of active ingredients of CMM (flavone, alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, etc.), the design principle of molecularly imprinted polymer, its preparation methods and latest application in separation of active ingredients from CMM were introduced. Therefore, this paper can provide a reference for designing new materials with higher selectivity in separation of active ingredients from CMM.
