Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for the Detection of Chlorpyrifos (an Organophosphate Pesticide)

Abstract

Chlorpyrifos belongs to an organophosphate pesticides group that is frequently used to increase the yield of crops by controlling plant and pests-related diseases. Chlorpyrifos contaminates the environment and cause diseases to the human population. Molecularly imprinting technology lead to the development of molecularly imprinted polymers having templated oriented cavities with high selectivity, sensitivity, stability, and portability. Our review article aims to provide a collective study related to pesticides detection through molecularly imprinted polymers with existed constraints and necessary potential facets are discussed.

Pesticides impacts on human health and the environment with their mechanisms of action and possible countermeasures

“…It is crucial to take into account that pesticide toxicity can be affected by a variety of factors, including the active components, formulation, quantity, and way of exposure [ 70 ]. Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide that is used for controlling a number of pests [ 71 ]. It poses a moderate to serious risk to humans and has been connected to negative effects on neurodevelopment, particularly in young infants [ 72 ].…”

A quick review on the applications of nanomaterials as adsorbents

“…3 The heavy metals comprise mercury, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, Copper, Cobalt, Zinc, Iron, and Nickel. 4 These are categorized into three classes; radionuclides (include U, Ra, Th, Am, etc. ), toxic metals (include Cr, Hg, Pb, Cu, Sn, Zn, Ni, As, Cd, Co, etc.…”

Potential Molecular Interaction of Nutmeg’s (Myristica fragrans) Active Compound via Activation of Caspase-3

“…Molecular docking is a problem-solving or simulation approach used to aid in the early phases of drug development (Altaf et al, 2022;Maripul, 2017). In structural molecular biology and computer-assisted drug creation, molecular docking is an important technique (Morris et al, 2008).…”
