Abstract

A multifunctional mixed-mode β-CD polymer adsorbent PNVCD-SIM containing amphoteric ions and multiple functional groups was prepared. Its physicochemical properties were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), 13C NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nitrogen adsorption-desorption test, elemental analysis (EA), and thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC). The acidic indomethacin and alkaline promethazine were selected to evaluate the adsorption properties of PNVCD-SIM at different pH. Under optimal neutral pH conditions, the adsorption performance of PNVCD-SIM on acidic NSAIDs, alkaline phenothiazine, and neutral steroid hormone drugs was investigated. The results showed that PNVCD-SIM exhibited excellent diversified adsorption properties for acidic, alkaline, and neutral mixed drug components through the synergistic effects of β-CD inclusion, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bond, π-π conjugation, and π-cation effect. The adsorption mechanism was consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. Under the optimized conditions, a dispersive solid phase extraction method combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (dSPE-HPLC) using PNVCD-SIM as the adsorbent was established. The simultaneous extraction and detection of acidic-alkaline multi-component drugs in actual urine and lake water samples were successfully realized. This study provides new insight into the design and preparation of mixed-mode adsorption materials suitable for the rapid analysis and detection of multiple analytes.
