Determination of the herbicide diclofop in human urine

A simple and sensitive method for the gas chromatographic determination of diclofop residues in human urine is described. Recoveries of diclofop, as its methyl ester, from fortified urine were greater than 85% at 100, 50, 10 and 1 μg kg⁻¹, and were similar with and without the inclusion of a hydrolytic step in the analytical method. However, a hydrolytic step was necessary for analysis of 24-h urine samples collected from a male applicator following a single exposure to diclofop-methyl during application to wheat using a tractor-pulled sprayer. Diclofop residues determined with hydrolysis were approximately double those without hydrolysis, suggesting that a significant portion of diclofop was excreted in the conjugated form.     

Isothermal calorimetry as a tool for estimating resistance of wild oat (Avena fatua L.) to aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides

The application of isothermal calorimetry for the early detection of the resistance of wild oat to fenoxaprop¹ and diclofop² was investigated. In the first test, three leaf tillers were sprayed with field doses of fenoxaprop or diclofop. For resistant biotypes, the rate of heat flow after 48 h was similar to that in control plants. In susceptible biotypes, fenoxaprop significantly reduced and diclofop significantly increased the rate of heat flow. In the second test, 3-day-old seedlings were put into calorimetric ampoules on filter paper moistured with herbicide solution (152% and 40% of the field dose for fenoxaprop and diclofop, respectively). Rate of heat flow was measured for 72 h, however, differences were already visible in the first hours of germination on each herbicide. Rate of heat flow for seedlings resistant to both herbicides was higher than for susceptible ones. The most evident differences between susceptible and resistant biotypes were noticed after 10-20 h and 25-40 h (of the seedlings’ growth) on fenoxaprop and diclofop, respectively, when a sharp increase of rate of heat flow was observed. In conclusion, calorimetry may be used as a rapid test for the detection of the resistance of wild oat biotypes to fenoxaprop and diclofop.     

Designing an enzyme-based nanobiosensor using molecular modeling techniques

Nanobiosensors can be built via functionalization of atomic force microscopy (AFM) tips with biomolecules capable of interacting with the analyte on a substrate, and the detection being performed by measuring the force between the immobilized biomolecule and the analyte. The optimization of such sensors may require multiple experiments to determine suitable experimental conditions for the immobilization and detection. In this study we employ molecular modeling techniques to assist in the design of nanobiosensors to detect herbicides. As a proof of principle, the properties of acetyl co-enzyme A carboxylase (ACC) were obtained with molecular dynamics simulations, from which the dimeric form in an aqueous solution was found to be more suitable for immobilization owing to a smaller structural fluctuation than the monomeric form. Upon solving the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation using a finite-difference procedure, we found that the active sites of ACC exhibited a positive surface potential while the remainder of the ACC surface was negatively charged. Therefore, optimized biosensors should be prepared with electrostatic adsorption of ACC onto an AFM tip functionalized with positively charged groups, leaving the active sites exposed to the analyte. The preferential orientation for the herbicides diclofop and atrazine with the ACC active site was determined by molecular docking calculations which displayed an inhibition coefficient of 0.168 μM for diclofop, and 44.11 μM for atrazine. This binding selectivity for the herbicide family of diclofop was confirmed by semiempirical PM6 quantum chemical calculations which revealed that ACC interacts more strongly with the herbicide diclofop than with atrazine, showing binding energies of -119.04 and +8.40 kcal mol(-1), respectively. The initial measurements of the proposed nanobiosensor validated the theoretical calculations and displayed high selectivity for the family of the diclofop herbicides.

Enantiomeric and isomeric separation of herbicides using cyclodextrin-modified capillary zone electrophoresis

Cyclodextrin-modified capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE) was applied successfully to the enantiomeric and isomeric separation of three herbicides (imazaquin, diclofop and imazamethabenz). Commercially available cyclodextrins were evaluated for separation of the enantiomers and isomers of the three herbicides having varied molecular structures. The enantiomers of imazaquin and diclofop, and the isomers of imazamethabenz could be resolved with a resolution of ≥1.5. The resolution was found to depend on pH of the run buffer, cyclodextrin type and cyclodextrin concentration. By employing mixed cyclodextrins in the running buffer, the three herbicides were simultaneously separated in a single run. In addition, rapid (less than 3 min) enantiomeric separation is demonstrated using imazaquin as a model herbicide. The reported capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods are simple, rapid, efficient and reproducible and our results demonstrate that CE provides a powerful analytical tool for enantiomeric and isomeric separation of herbicides.

Development and validation of a method for the analysis of cafenstrole and its metabolite in brown rice grains and rice straw using high-performance liquid chromatography

The present work reports the extraction and clean-up procedures, as well as the chromatographic conditions developed, for the determination of cafenstrole and its metabolite (CHM-03) residues in brown rice grains and rice straw using HPLC-UV detection. The method makes use of an Apollo C(18) column and acetonitrile : water : acetic acid as a mobile phase for both cafenstrole and its metabolite in rice and rice straw. Using these conditions cafenstrole and its metabolite were resolved with a retention time (R(t)) of less than 14 min. The analytes were confirmed using positive atmospheric pressure ionization LC-MS with selected ion monitoring. The average recoveries of cafenstrole were found to be 87.0-92.5 and 87.6-88.3%. However, they ranged from 81.5 to 81.6% and from 76.1 to 78.5% for cafenstrole metabolite (CHM-03), in rice grains and rice straw, respectively, with relative standard deviations ranging from 1.4 to 6.6%. The limits of detection (LODs) of both cafenstrole and its metabolite were 0.002 and 0.02 ppm and 0.025 and 0.04 ppm, respectively. Field trials with recommended or double the recommended dose revealed that the herbicide could safely be recommended for application in rice and rice straw as no residues were detected in the harvest samples.

Analysis of phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides and their phenolic conversion products in soil by microwave assisted solvent extraction and subsequent analysis of extracts by on-line solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatography

A multiresidue method for the determination of phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides and their phenolic conversion products in soil was developed. The method was based on microwave-assisted solvent extraction (MASE) of soil samples by an aqueous methanolic mixture and subsequent analysis of extracts by automated solid-phase extraction followed by on-line high-performance liquid chromatography and diode array detection. MASE parameters (extraction temperature and time, composition of the extraction mixture and extraction volume) were optimized with respect to analyte recoveries. The method was validated with two types of soils containing 1.5 and 3.5% organic matter, respectively, both types containing fresh and aged residues of sought analytes. Under the selected analytical conditions when soils with fresh residues were analyzed all target analytes were recovered above 80% from the soil containing 1.5% organic matter, while limits of identification at the level of 20-40 ng/g were achieved. From the soil containing 3.5% organic matter the least polar phenolic analytes exhibited slightly reduced recoveries, while identification limits of 30-50 ng/g were achieved. Samples with aged residues exhibited reduced recoveries for some analytes, the reduction amounting up to 6-12% within 1 month of aging period depending on soil organic matter.

A method was established for the separation and determination of triadimefon and its metabolite triadimenol enantiomer residues in major complementary fruit puree for infants and young children (banana puree, pineapple puree, and grape puree) by supercritical fluid chromatography. After the samples were extracted with acetonitrile and purified with a solid phase extraction cartridge, Acquity Trefoil CEL2 chiral chromatographic column was adopted for separation, and gradient elution was conducted at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min under the mobile phase of supercritical carbon dioxide - 0.5% ammonia methanol, the detection wavelength was 220 nm and quantification was conducted with the external standard method. The limits of quantitation of triadimefon and triadimenol enantiomers were both 0.05 mg/kg, the linear ranges were 0.5–50 mg/L, and the linear correlation coefficients were greater than 0.9993. The recoveries in the spiked samples at 0.05, 0.2, and 3.0 mg/kg were from 80.1 to 106%, and the relative standard deviation reached 3.3–7.6%. The method is efficient, rapid, reproducible, and environmentally friendly, enabling accurate analysis of pesticide enantiomers, which can detect the enantiomer residues of triadimefon and its metabolite triadimenol in major complementary fruit puree for infants and young children.
