摘要

Determination of pharmaceuticals in biological matrices is crucial for pharmaceutical development, toxicological studies, and therapeutic drug monitoring. Accurate quantification of drugs in plasma requires reliable analytical techniques; however, the complexity of biological fluids hinders direct analysis without an effective sample preparation step. In this study, Fe₃O₄ was synthesized using mussel-inspired magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIP NPs) through a single-step auto-polymerization process with levofloxacin as the template and methyldopa as the monomer. The integration of Fe₃O₄ core synthesis, self-polymerization, and molecular imprinting in a single step provides a unique and streamlined methodology, reducing fabrication complexity and time. The prepared Fe₃O₄@MIP NPs were successfully applied to extract levofloxacin from spiked human plasma. UV–spectroscopy studies confirmed selective recognition, binding efficiency, and optimization of recovery conditions, achieving approximately 93.5% recovery. The Fe₃O₄@MIP NPs demonstrated significant imprinting capability and high adsorption capacity. This approach offers a novel and cost-effective platform for rapid, selective drug extraction from complex biological matrices, with direct clinical relevance for therapeutic drug monitoring of levofloxacin in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, particularly suited for resource-limited settings.
