Abstract: Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared using rutin as the template, different reagents as the functional monomer and different reagents as the cross-linker by solution polymerization. Several parameters that would influence the performance of MIPs were investigated including the type of functional monomer (single or double) and cross-linker (single or double), and the molar ratio of the template, the functional monomer and the cross-linker. The optimum synthesis conditions of MIPs were found to be bi-monomers (acrylamide-co-2-vinyl pyridine, 3:1) and bi-crosslinker (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-co-divinylbenzene, 3:1). The ratio of the template, the functional monomer and the cross-linker was found to be 1:6:20. MIPs synthesized under these conditions were filled into the cartridges as the adsorbents of solid-phase extraction (SPE). A competition test was conducted to authenticate the selectivity and the specificity of molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) for rutin using the mixture solution of standard rutin and its structural analogs including quercetin, naringenin and kaempferol. Compared with purchased SPE including C18, silica and PCX, MISPE showed better selectivity and enrichment property for rutin in the extracted solutions of Chinese medicinal plants than any others. The mean recoveries were 85.93% (RSD: 3.04%, n = 3) for Saururus chinensis (Lour.) Bail and 88.61% (RSD: 3.36%, n = 3) for Flos Sophorae, respectively, which indicated that the optimized rutin-MIPs possess the value of practical application
