Claims68
A plurality of macroreticular polymer beads comprising a copolymer having a plurality of complexing cavities that selectively bind a target cannabinoid, wherein the copolymer comprises:
- (a) a cannabinoid surrogate-containing monomer,
- (b) a non-crosslinking monomer, and
- (c) a crosslinking monomer;
- wherein the cannabinoid surrogate has substantially the same steric and functional properties of the target cannabinoid and
- wherein the cannabinoid surrogate is removed to provide a complexing cavity that selectively binds a target cannabinoid.
A plurality of macroreticular polymer beads comprising a copolymer that selectively binds a target cannabinoid, wherein the copolymer comprises:
- (a) a cannabinoid surrogate-containing monomer,
- (b) a non-crosslinking monomer, and
- (c) a crosslinking monomer;
- wherein the cannabinoid surrogate has substantially the same steric and functional properties of the target cannabinoid.
A plurality of macroreticular polymer beads comprising a copolymer having a plurality of complexing cavities which selectively bind a target cannabinoid, wherein the copolymer is prepared from:
- (a) a cannabinoid surrogate,
- (b) a non-crosslinking monomer, and
- (c) a crosslinking monomer:
- wherein the cannabinoid surrogate has substantially the same steric and functional properties of the target cannabinoid and
- wherein the cannabinoid surrogate is removed to provide a complexing cavity that selectively binds a target cannabinoid.
A method of preparing macroreticular molecularly imprinted polymer beads comprising:
- (1) polymerizing:
- (a) a cannabinoid surrogate-containing monomer,
- (b) a non-crosslinking monomer, and
- (c) a crosslinking monomer;
- wherein the cannabinoid surrogate has substantially the same steric and functional properties of the target cannabinoid and
- (2) removing the cannabinoid surrogate to provide a complexing cavity that selectively binds a target cannabinoid.
