Molecularly imprinted matrices using carbohydrates as the precursors 

In subsequent years, Wulff and Kubik carried out a more elaborate study in this direction. They prepared inclusion complexes of amylose with different substrates [33]. Intra- and intermolecular cross-linking of these complexes was carried out using both cyanuric chloride and epichlorohydrin as the cross-linking agents. These 

Recently, Komiyama and co-workers have reported the preparation of novel cyclodextrin derived imprinted carbohydrates for the efficient recognition of cholesterol [34]. jS-Cyclodextrin was cross-linked in the presence of cholesterol using different diisocyanates as the cross-linking agents. These cyclodextrin matrices, after removal of the template, exhibited selective preference towards cholesterol compared to the non-templated cross-linked cyclodextrin.
