Polydopamine-based molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor for the highly selective determination of ecstasy components.
3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) are the main components of illicit stimulant drugs, also known as ecstasy, which belong to psychoactive medicine and tend to be increasingly abused among drug addicts worldwide. Herein, an electrochemical sensor based on molecularly imprinted polydopamine (MIPPDA) was developed to detect MDA and MDMA using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). An MIP film on a Au electrode was synthesized
