A rime-like Au-Pt nanostructured film and polyaniline-MIP based electrochemical sensor for olanzapine detection

An electrochemical (EC) molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensor for therapeutic drug monitoring of olanzapine (OLZ) has been developed. A “rime-like” gold-platinum nanostructured film (Au-Pt NF) was fabricated on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) via an one-step hydrogen bubble dynamic template (HBDT) method, followed by electropolymerization of a polyaniline-based MIP. The Au-Pt NF/SPCE served as an ideal three-dimensional conductive substrate with a large active area and enhanced electron-transfer capability, endowing the specific MIP sensor with high sensitivity. Using [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3−/4− as a redox probe, the sensor quantified OLZ by the decrease in differential pulse voltammetry current caused by target binding. It exhibited two linear ranges (0.005–0.4 µM and 0.4–10 µM) with a detection limit of 0.94 nM, and demonstrated high selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. The sensor achieved recoveries of 96.7–102.7% for OLZ in tablets, urine, and whole blood. This work provides a reliable, all-EC sensing platform with strong potential for rapid OLZ monitoring in clinical settings. Section Graphical
