Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Methylxanthines are widely consumed compounds with physiological effects.
  • Accurate quantification of methylxanthines in various matrices is important for health and environmental monitoring.
  • Selective and sensitive analytical methods are needed for methylxanthine detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a selective organically modified molecularly imprinted silica (MIS) material for methylxanthines.
  • To create a quantitative analytical method for methylxanthines in aqueous samples using the developed MIS.
  • To evaluate the performance of the MIS in real-world samples like natural water and human urine.

Main Methods:

  • A sol-gel procedure was employed to synthesize the MIS using caffeine as the template molecule.

  • 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) were used as functional monomer and reticulating agent, respectively.
  • The MIS was packed into solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges and coupled with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV).

    • Main Results:

    • The synthesized MIS demonstrated high specificity for methylxanthines, achieving an imprinting factor of (20.5+/-1.9).
    • A quantitative method was successfully developed for methylxanthines in water samples.
    • The analytical method achieved low detection limits: 85 µgL⁻¹ for theobromine, 44 µgL⁻¹ for theophylline, and 53 µgL⁻¹ for caffeine.

    Conclusions:

    • Organically modified molecularly imprinted silica (MIS) is a highly selective material for methylxanthine detection.
    • The developed SPE-MIS coupled with HPLC-UV offers a sensitive and specific method for methylxanthine analysis.
    • This method is applicable for the quantitative determination of methylxanthines in environmental and biological samples.
