Abstract Nanofibers were prepared from a nanocomposite consisting of polyacrylonitrile and a metal-organic framework of type MIL53(Fe) by electrospinning. They are shown to be a viable sorbent for pipette-tip solid-phase extraction for the extraction of the benzodiazepine drugs nitrazepam and oxazepam. The nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The effects of sample pH value and volume, composition, and amount of electrospun nanofibers, the number of adsorption cycles and the type and volume of the eluent were optimized. Following extraction the drugs were quantified by HPLC. Under the optimized conditions, response is linear for both drugs in the 5.0–1000 ng mL−1 concentration range. The limits of detection for oxazepam and nitrazepam are 1.5 and 2.5 ng mL−1, respectively, and the relative standard deviations at the levels of 50, 100 and 250 ng mL−1 (for n = 3) are ≤7.6%. The method was successfully applied for determination of drugs in spiked wastewater and biological fluids. Keywords Composite nanosorbent . Miniaturization . Metal organic framework .

Introduction Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are widely consumed for the therapy of anxiety and sleeping disorders, but excessive consumption of these drugs can lead to unwanted side effects, such as memory loss, depression and loss of balance [1, 2]. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [3], gas chromatography [4], thin-layer chromatography (TLC) [5] and other chromatographic methods have been reported for the determination of BZDs [6–8]. However, trace determination of

analytes in complex matrices is the bottle-neck of an analytical procedure and to overcome this limitation; a sample preparation step is necessary before the final analysis [9, 10]. Nowadays, researchers focus on the development of miniaturized extraction methods, which often lead to the improvement of preconcentration factors and decreasing of the solvent consumption [11–13].
