Abstract: | Summary Oxytocin receptor mimetics were prepared by molecular imprinting using Z-oxytocin as the template. Comparative binding studies
with reference polymers showed that the imprinted polymers recognized both Z-oxytocin and unprotected oxytocin selectively.
The dissociation constants were 47 μM and 102 μM, respectively, and the density of binding sites was 12 μmol/g. The synthetic
oxytocin receptors were easily prepared, possessed high mechanical and chemical stability, and were reused without loss of
selectivity and capacity after regeneration by extraction.
