Abstract:
Luteolin (LTL) is a flavonoid containing a cis-diol, which has significant anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer and neuroprotective activities. In this work, a silver modified boric acid affinity polyvinyl imine (PEI) dendritic adsorbent (PPEI-Ag@CPBA) was prepared on polystyrene (PS) for the rapid recognition and selective separation of LTL. A thin layer of polydopamine (PDA) was formed on the surface of the substrate by self-polymerization, and a PDA-coated PS material (PS@PDA) was obtained. PEI with sufficient active amino groups was grafted onto PS@PDA to obtain a PEI-modified material (PS@PDA@PEI), then AgNO3 was reduced with NaBH4, and PS@PDA@PEI was embedded on Ag. Finally, PPEI-Ag@CPBA was obtained through the condensation reaction of PEI with 4-carboxyphenyl boric acid (CPBA). The adsorption conditions were optimized, the optimal pH and the optimum amount of adsorbent were determined, and the maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 2.49 mg g-1. This method has been successfully applied to the selective identification of LTL in peanut shell samples, and provides a practical platform for the detection of LTL in complex substrates.
