Chiral separation of three agrochemical toxins enantiomers by high-performance liquid chromatography on a vancomycin crystalline degradation products-chiral stationary phase

This work aims to evaluate for the enantiomeric separations of three agrochemical toxins: haloxyfop-methyl, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl and indoxacarb on crystalline degradation products-chiral stationary phase (CDP-CSP) of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) under normal and polar organic phases. In the normal phase, the mobile phase was n-hexane with alcohols including methanol and isopropanol as polar modifiers. In the polar organic phase mode, the mobile phase was methanol with different percentages of triethylammunium acetate. The influence of flow rate (0.3-0.9 mL/min), analyte concentration and silica gel particle sizes (10, 15 and 30 microm) was investigated. This new chiral stationary phase showed excellent stereoselectivity for the two enantiomers of haloxyfop-methyl and fenoxaprop-p-ethyl and chiral recognition for indoxacarb under normal-phase mode. However, under polar organic phase, only indoxacarb was separated (alpha < 1.5). The chromatographic results were compared with commercial chiral columns.     

Residue analysis of tebufenozide and indoxacarb in chicken muscle,milk, egg and aquatic animal products using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

We developed an analytical method using liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) to detect and quantify tebufenozide (TEB) and indoxacarb (IND) residues in animal and aquatic products (chicken muscle, milk, egg, eel, flatfish, and shrimp). The target compounds were extracted using 1% acetic acid (0.1% acetic acid for egg only) in acetonitrile and purified using n‐hexane. The analytes were separated on a Gemini‐NX C₁₈ column using (a) distilled water with 0.1% formic acid and 5 mm ammonium acetate and (b) methanol with 0.1% formic acid as the mobile phase. All six‐point matrix‐matched calibration curves showed good linearity with coefficients of determination (R²) ≥0.9864 over a concentration range of 5–50 μg/kg. Intra‐ and inter‐day accuracy was expressed as the recovery rate at three spiking levels and ranged between 73.22 and 114.93% in all matrices, with a relative standard deviation (RSD, corresponding to precision) ≤13.87%. The limits of quantification (LOQ) of all target analytes ranged from 2 to 20 μg/kg, which were substantially lower than the maximum residue limits (MRLs) specified by the regulatory agencies of different countries. All samples were collected from different markets in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and tested negative for tebufenozide and indoxacarb residues. These results show that the method developed is robust and may be a promising tool to detect trace levels of the target analytes in animal products.

Enantiomeric separation of indoxacarb on an amylose‐based chiral stationary phase and its application in study of indoxacarb degradation in water

Direct semipreparative enantioseparation of indoxacarb was performed on a semipreparative Chiralpak IA column using normal‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with n‐hexane–isopropanol–ethyl acetate (70:20:10) mixture as mobile phase. Degradation of indoxacarb (2.33S + 1R) and its two enantiopure isoforms in three aqueous buffer solutions and four water samples collected from natural water sources was then elucidated by HPLC analysis on Chiralpak IA column. Degradation of all three indoxacarbs complied with first‐order kinetics and demonstrated linearity with regression coefficients R² > 0.88. Indoxacarb (2.33S + 1R) underwent enantioselective degradation in river water, rain water, and buffer solution of pH 7.0. Enantiopure S‐(+)‐indoxacarb and R‐(?)‐indoxacarb were both found to be configurationally stable in water. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Degradation and residues of indoxacarb enantiomers in rice plants,rice hulls and brown rice using enriched S‐indoxacarb formulation and enantiopure formulation

A chiral liquid chromatography–tandem high resolution mass spectroscopic method was developed for the analysis of indoxacarb enantiomers in rice plants, rice hulls and brown rice. Chiral separation of two enantiomers was carried out on a Superchiral S‐OD column maintained at 20°C and eluted with 0.3 mL/min methanol. Samples were extracted by acetonitrile solution with ultrasound and cleansed by dispersive solid‐phase extraction of 50 mg of primary secondary amine and 50 mg of C₁₈. This method was successfully used to study the degradation and residues of two enantiomers with enriched S‐indoxacarb (2.33S/1R) and pure S‐indoxacarb in rice plants. The half‐lives of R‐indoxacarb and S‐indoxacarb were 4.20–4.33 and 3.45–3.57 days in rice plants during the degradation of enriched S‐indoxacarb in Guizhou and Hunan, respectively, whereas the half‐lives of pure S‐indoxacarb were 2.68 and 3.69 days in Guizhou and Hunan, respectively. The results indicated that preferential S‐indoxacarb degradation occurred and that enantiomeric transformation was absent in the total experiment periods of pure S‐indoxacarb in rice plants. The final residue concentrations of indoxacarb enantiomers in brown rice were significantly less than those in rice plants and rice hulls in the same rice field after applying indoxacarb SC and indoxacarb EC.     

Determination of RH‐5849 and indoxacarb in rice straw,rice husk,brown rice and soil using liquid chromatography–tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry following extraction with QuEChERS method

A fast and simple analytical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of RH‐5849 and indoxacarb in soil, rice straw, rice husk and brown rice. QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) method was used for extraction, and liquid chromatography with tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry was used for quantification. The matrix‐matched calibration plots were linear in the range between 25 and 5000 μg/L for soil, rice straw, rice husk and brown rice samples. All determination coefficients (R²) were ≥0.9962. The limits of detection and quantification were 1.5 and 5 μg/kg, respectively. Recoveries at three fortification levels ranged between 79.5 and 97.9% with relative standard deviations <11%. The developed method was validated and applied for the analysis of dissipation study samples. For field experiments, the half‐lives of RH‐5849 and indoxacarb in rice straw were 11.93 and 5.83 days, respectively. The method was demonstrated to be reliable for the routine monitoring of RH‐5849 and indoxacarb in rice samples. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
