Patent ID: 8344082

Claim:
A method for preparing a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) dedicated to the selective recognition of the reduced form of glutathione, GSH, or analog, comprising at least: the copolymerization of a monomer or monomers intended to form the matrix of said molecular imprint with at least one monomer of general formula (I): X—(R) n —Y-G (I), in which: X represents a polymerizable monovalent group, n is equal to 0 or 1, R represents a saturated or unsaturated, linear, branched or cyclic C 1 -C 10 hydrocarbon-based chain, optionally interrupted with one or more heteroatoms chosen from N, O and S, and optionally substituted, Y represents a function of a labile bond involving the sulfhydryl function of glutathione GSH or of an analog thereof, G represents the residue of glutathione GSH or of a corresponding analog thereof, under conditions favorable to the formation of said molecular imprint, and the release of the residue G by cleavage of the bond function Y.
