Analysis of veterinary drug residues in cheese by ultra‐high‐performance LC coupled to triple quadrupole MS/MS

A simple, reliable, and fast multiresidue method has been developed for the determination of 17 veterinary drugs belonging to several families (macrolides, sulfonamides, and anthelmintics) in cheese at trace levels. Ultra‐high‐performance LC coupled to MS/MS has been used for the analysis of these compounds in less than 9 min. Veterinary drug residues have been extracted from cheese samples using a QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe)‐based extraction procedure without applying any further clean‐up step. Matrix‐matched calibration was used for quantification and recoveries were calculated at three concentration levels (10, 50, and 100 μg/kg). The obtained values ranged from 70 to 110% for the selected compounds except for tylosin and josamycin at 100 μg/kg (111.7 and 112.7%, respectively). Intra‐ and interday precision were also evaluated and RSDs were lower than 25% in all the cases. LOQs ranged from 0.3 μg/kg (for thiabendazole, oxfendazole, mebendazole, josamycin, and fenbendazole) to 10.5 μg/kg (abamectin), whereas decision limit and detection capability ranged from 2.3 (thiabendazole) to 11.3 (abamectin) and 4.2 (thiabendazole) to 14.3 μg/kg (abamectin), respectively. Finally, 13 samples were analyzed and traces of thiabendazole were detected in two different cheeses.     

Development and validation of a high‐resolution LTQ Orbitrap MS method for the quantification of isoflavones in wastewater effluent

Isoflavones and coumestranes are the most important classes of compounds among phytoestrogens; by binding to estrogen receptors, they mimic or modulate the effect on the endogenous receptors. Little information can be found in literature about the presence of isoflavones and coumestrol in the environment, even if it is known that this may have significance, being these substances classified as endocrine disrupting compounds. In this research, we aim to explore the capabilities of the LTQ Orbitrap Discovery hybrid MS in full‐scan acquisition mode, with high resolution, to validate an analytical method for the quantification of nine isoflavones (genistein, genistin, glycitein, daidzein, daidzin, (R,S)‐equol, biochanin A, formononetin and coumestrol) in wastewater samples. The correlation coefficients of calibration curves of the nine analyzed compounds were in a range of 0.996–0.999; recoveries at two different levels of concentration (0.05 and 0.5 µg/l) were in the range 73–98%, and the limits of detection ranged between 0.0014 and 0.017 µg/l, proving that this method is sensitive enough in comparison with other methods available in literature. This method has been applied for the analysis of 20 wastewater treatment plants in County Cork, Ireland. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Dual‐layer column filtration cleanup and gas chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry detection for the analysis of 39 pesticide residues in porcine meat

A rapid and effective method was developed for the analysis of 39 pesticide residues in porcine meat with dual‐layer multiplug filtration cleanup and gas chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry detection. The cleanup process was performed with columns packed with two layers, namely multiwalled carbon nanotubes, C18 and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) as top layer, while mixture of florisil and MgSO₄ as bottom layer. A single‐layer method was tested in parallel, with columns packed with the same amount of absorbents. Extraction conditions and filtration cleanup process were optimized to obtain satisfied method performance. Method linearity was calculated with coefficients of determination more than 0.995. The limits of quantitation were verified with acceptable accuracy at the lowest spiked concentration of 0.01 mg/kg (except pyrimethanil). The recoveries at three fortified levels (0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 mg/kg) in five replicates were between 74 and 118% (except pyrimethanil) with relative standard deviations range from 1 to 16%. The matrix effects were in the range of 1.01 to 2.84. This new method was applied for the analysis of multipesticide residues in market samples of porcine meat. This study showed the dual‐layer multiplug filtration cleanup demonstrated better performance than that with the single‐layer columns in cleanup of porcine meat.     

Multi‐mycotoxin analysis in complex biological matrices using LC‐ESI/MS: Experimental study using triple stage quadrupole and LTQ‐Orbitrap

In the present study, we report the application of LC‐MS based on two different LC‐MS systems to mycotoxin analysis. The mycotoxins were extracted with an ACN/water/acetic acid mixture and directly injected into a LC‐MS/MS system without any dilution procedure. First, a sensitive and reliable HPLC‐ESI‐MS/MS method using selected reaction monitoring on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (TSQ Quantum Ultra AM) has been developed for determining 32 mycotoxins in crude extracts of wheat and maize. This method was operated both in positive and in negative ionization modes in two separate chromatographic runs. The method was validated by studies of spiked recoveries, linearity, matrix effect, intra‐assay precision and sensitivity. Further, we have developed and evaluated a method based on accurate mass measurements of extracted target ions in full scan mode using micro‐LC‐LTQ‐Orbitrap as a tool for fast quantitative analysis. Both instruments exhibited very high sensitivity and repeatability in positive ionization mode. Coupling of micro‐LC to Orbitrap technology was not applicable to the negatively ionizable compounds. The LC triple quadrupole MS method has proved to be stable in quantitation, as it is with respect to the matrix effects of grain samples.

Simultaneous determination of 103 pesticide residues in tea samples by LC‐MS/MS

A simple and sensitive method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 103 pesticide residues in tea by LC‐MS/MS. For the analysis of the pesticide with polarity, thermal lability or low volatility, this LC‐MS/MS method has an advantage over GC. In this work, residual pesticides were extracted from the tea sample with ACN and then purified using Carb‐NH₂ SPE cartridges. Using the multiple reaction monitoring mode, the pesticides were quantified and identified by the most abundant and characteristic fragment ions. The recoveries obtained for each pesticide ranged between 65 and 114% at three spiked concentration levels. The intra‐day precisions were lower than 19.6%. Good linear relationships were observed with the correlation coefficients r² >0.996 for all analytes. The established method was successfully applied to the determination of pesticide residues in real tea samples.     

Simultaneous analysis by Quadrupole‐Orbitrap mass spectrometry and UHPLC‐MS/MS for the determination of sedative‐hypnotics and sleep inducers in adulterated products

Adulterated products are continuously detected in society and cause problems. In this study, we developed and validated a method for determining synthetic sedative‐hypnotics and sleep inducers, including barbital, benzodiazepam, zolpidem, and first‐generation antihistamines, in adulterated products using Quadrupole‐Orbitrap mass spectrometry and ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. In Quadrupole‐Orbitrap mass spectrometry analysis, target compounds were confirmed using a combination of retention time, mass tolerance, mass accuracy, and fragment ions. For quantification, several validation parameters were employed using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation was 0.05–53 and 0.17–177 ng/mL, respectively. The correlation coefficient for linearity was more than 0.995. The intra‐ and interassay accuracies were 86–110 and 84–111%, respectively. Their precision values were evaluated as within 4.0 (intraday) and 10.7% (interday). Mean recoveries of target compounds in adulterated products ranged from 85 to 116%. The relative standard deviation of stability was less than 10.7% at 4°C for 48 h. The 144 adulterated products obtained over 3 years (2014–2016) from online and in‐person vendors were tested using established methods. After rapidly screening with Quadrupole‐Orbitrap mass spectrometry, the detected samples were quantified using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Two of them were adulterated with phenobarbital.     

Quantification of human and veterinary antibiotics in water and sediment using SPE/LC/MS/MS

An analytical method was developed and tested for four different groups of veterinary antibiotics in both river water and sediment matrices. Solid phase extraction (SPE) was used to enrich and to clean up the aqueous sample. Also, Mcllvaine and ammonium hydroxide buffer solutions were used to extract the compounds from the sediment matrix. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was used to separate and quantify the samples. The range of recoveries (in percent) for tetracyclines (TCs), sulfonamides (SAs), macrolides (MLs), and ionophore polyethers (IPs) in the water matrix were 102.2–124.8, 76.6–124.3, 89.5–114.7, 82.7–117.5 with 1–13 (%) of relative standard deviation respectively with three different concentrations. For sediment, the percent recovery ranges were 32.8–114.8, 62.4–108.9, 53.4–128.4 and 51.3–105.4 for TCs, SAs, MLs and IPs, respectively. The relative standard deviation ranged from 16 – 27 (%) over three different concentrations. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was determined by two different methods and calculated to be in the range of 0.01–0.04 μg/l and 0.3–2.5 μg/kg for TCs, SAs, and MLs in water and sediment, respectively. For IPs, the LOQ was 0.001–0.003 μg/l in river water and 0.4–3.6 μg/kg for sediment. The sediment concentration measured in an agriculture-influenced river was much higher than in the overlying water matrix, indicating a high degree of sediment partitioning for these compounds.

Structure elucidation of phototransformation products of unapproved analogs of the erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil in artificial freshwater with UPLC‐Q Exactive‐MS

In this study, four unapproved analogues of Sildenafil (SDF) were photodegraded under synthetic sunlight in artificial freshwater. Homosildenafil (H‐SDF), hydroxyhomo‐sildenafil (HH‐SDF), norneosildenafil (NR‐SDF) and thiosildenafil (T‐SDF) were selected because they are frequently detected as adulterants in natural herbal products. Using UPLC‐Orbitrap (Q Exactive)‐MS, six photoproducts common to H‐SDF, HH‐SDF and T‐SDF and nine unique transformation products of different molecular weights were identified based on their high‐resolution (+)ESI product ion spectra. Mass spectral analysis of deuterated H‐SDF, labeled on the N‐ethyl group, allowed to gain mechanistic insight into the fragmentation pathway of the substituted piperazine ring and to support the postulated photoproduct structures. The mass spectral fragmentation confirmed the stepwise destruction of the piperazine ring eventually producing a sulfonic acid derivative (C₁₇H₂₀N₄O₅S: 392.1151 Da). In contrast, the photodegradation of NR‐SDF, which lacks a piperazine ring in its structure, formed only two prominent photoproducts originating from N,N‐dealkylation of the sulfonamide followed by hydrolysis. The current work constitutes the first study on the photodegradation of analogs of erectile dysfunction drugs and the first detection of two transformation products (m/z 449 and 489) in environmental samples.

Metabolite analysis in Curcuma domestica using various GC‐MS and LC‐MS separation and detection techniques

The metabolic profile of polar (methanol) and non‐polar (hexane) extracts of Curcuma domestica, a widely used medicinal plant, was established using various different analytical techniques, including GC‐FID, GC‐MS, HR‐GC‐MS and analytical HPLC‐ESI‐MS/MS by means of LTQ‐Orbitrap technology. The major non‐volatile curcuminoids curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin were identified when their chromatographic and precursor ion masses were compared with those of authentic standard compounds. In this paper we describe for the first time a GC/MS‐based method for metabolic profiling of the hydrophilic extract. We also identified 61 polar metabolites as TMS derivatives.

Development and validation of a solid‐phase extraction method coupled with LC–MS/MS for the simultaneous determination of 16 antibiotic residues in duck meat

The present study was carried out to determine 16 antibiotics belonging to seven different groups (tetracyclines, sulfonamides, penicillins, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, lincosamides and trimethoprims) in duck meat. A solid‐phase extraction method based on Oasis HLB cartridges coupled with liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was developed. Solutions of 0.1 m ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt and 2% trifluoroacetic acid were used for the preliminary extraction of the target antibiotics from duck meat and n‐hexane was used for purification prior to solid‐phase extraction. Mobile phases composed of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in distilled water (solvent A) and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in methanol (solvent B), combined with a reversed‐phase C₁₈ analytical column, provided the optimal separation and signal intensity. The linearity of the method was assessed using six concentrations (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 μg/kg), and the recoveries, which were calculated at three spiking concentrations (5, 10 and 20 μg/kg), were in the range 69.8–103.3% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ≤ 6.9% for the 16 tested antibiotics. Matrix effects ranging from ?47.2 to ?13.5% were observed for all the analytes, and the limits of quantitation (LOQ), which ranged from 4.93 to 26.21 μg/kg, were much lower than the maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by various regulatory authorities. Ten samples from a market were tested, and none of the target analytes were detected. Thus, a simple and versatile protocol has been developed to detect and quantify 16 antibiotics in duck meat samples.
