Abstrakt: Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) having inherent redox activity is developed for reagent-free electrochemical detection of steroid hormone biomarker cortisol. Ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate and acrylic acid were used as redox and functional monomers, respectively. Free radical initiated co-polymerization process was performed in the presence of cortisol as a template to create electroactive MIPs. The copolymerized ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate network provided the redox-active and self-reporting electrochemical platform for detecting redox-inactive biomarkers without using any additional reagents. Cortisol is chosen as the model analyte to evaluate the performance of the self-reporting molecular recognition property. The self-reporting MIPs allowed the quantitative detection of cortisol (as low as 0.5 ng) in the presence of other structurally similar steroid hormones.
