Research Abstract |
An antibody can specifically recognize an antigen. A molecularly imprinted polymer, which is a synthetic antibody (artificial antibody), can specifically recognize a target compound, too. In this study, artificial antibodies for matrine and oxymatrine have been prepared to extract matrine, oxymatrine and their structurally related compound(s) in Chinese traditional medicines (TCMs). Furthermore, an artificial antibody for curcumine has been prepared to extract curcumine and its structurally related compound(s) in TCMs. The obtained results indicate that these antibodies work very well for specific extraction of the target compounds in TCMs.
