Trace determination of sulfonamides residues in meat with a combination of solid-phase microextraction and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

An integrated method of combining solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was evaluated for determination trace amount of sulfonamides in meat products. Eight commonly used sulfonamides, sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfamethazine (SMT), sulfamonomethoxine (SMMX), sulfamethoxazole (SMXZ), sulfaquinoxaline (SQX) and sulfadimethoxine (SDMX), were investigated in this study. Chromatography was performed on a C₁₈ reversed-phase column using an isocratic acetonitrile in water as the mobile phase. Fiber coated with a 65 μm thickness of polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) was used to extract sulfonamides at optimum conditions. Analytes were desorbed with static desorption in an SPME-HPLC desorbed chamber for 15 min and then determined by LC-MS. The detection limits of these sulfonamides in pork were from 16 μg kg⁻¹ (SMT) to 39 μg kg⁻¹ (SMMX). According to the analysis, the linear range was from 50 to 2000 μg kg⁻¹ with relative standard deviation (R.S.D.s) value below 15% (intra-day) and 19% (inter-day). The proposed method was tested by analyzing meats from a local market for sulfonamides residues. Some sulfonamides in our study were detected in the meat samples. The concentration of these residual sulfonamides ranged from 66 μg kg⁻¹ (SDZ) to 157 μg kg⁻¹ (SQX) in a chicken sample. The results demonstrate that the SPME-LC-MS system is highly effective in analyzing trace sulfonamides in meat products.

The analytes were extracted from homogenized fish tissue with water-acetonitrile (50 + 50). The extract was clarified by centrifugation and a portion defatted with hexane. The analytes were partitioned into chloroform and evaporated to dryness. The redissolved residue was applied to a C18 reversed-phase column with a water-acetonitrile (0.1% acetic acid) gradient. All of the compounds were completely separated and detected in <10 min at 30 degrees C using LC/MS/MS. Standard curves were linear over the range of 0.02 to 5 ng injected. The limit of detection varied from 0.1 ng/g for SMZ and OMP to 0.9 ng/g for SXL and SOZ. Recoveries varied from 100% for SDM, SOZ, and SQX and 85% for SMR, OMP, and TMP to approximately 30% for SAA. Relative standard deviations for repeat analysis varied from 4% for SMZ and SCP to 23% for SAA.

Confirmation of sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole, and sulfadimethoxine residues in condensed milk and soft-cheese products by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

A liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method (LC/MS/MS) is described for the simultaneous detection of 3 sulfonamide drug residues at 1.25 ppb in condensed milk and soft-cheese products. The 3 sulfonamide drugs of interest are sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfamethazine (SMZ), and sulfadimethoxine (SDM). The method includes extraction of the product with phosphate buffer, centrifugation of the diluted product, and application of a portion of the extract onto a polymeric solid-phase extraction cartridge. The cartridge is washed with water, and the sulfonamides are eluted with methanol. After evaporation, the residue is dissolved in 0.1% formic acid solution, and the solution is filtered before analysis by LC/MS/MS. The LC/MS/MS program involved a series of time-scheduled selected-reaction monitoring transitions. The transitions of MH+ to the common product ions at m/z 156, 108, and 92 were monitored for each residue. In addition, SMZ and SDM had a fourth significant and unique product ion transition that could be measured. Validation was performed with control and fortified-control condensed bovine milk with 2.5, 5, and 10 ppb sulfonamides. This method was applied to imported flavored and unflavored condensed milk and cream cheese bars. The presence of STZ and SMZ residues was confirmed in 3 out of 6 products.     

Development of a screening method for five sulfonamides in salmon muscle tissue using thin-layer chromatography.

A thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) method was developed for the analysis of five sulfonamides [sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfamerazine (SMRZ), sulfamethazine (SMTZ), sulfadimethoxine (SDMX) and sulfapyridine (SP)] in salmon muscle tissue. "Matrix solid-phase dispersion" was employed whereby the tissue sample was ground with C18-derivatized silica gel. This material was packed into a column and washed with 10% toluene in hexane (discarded) followed by dichloromethane which was evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on a high-performance TLC plate using ethyl acetate-n-butanol-methanol-aqueous ammonia (35:45:15:2, v/v). Sulfonamides were detected after spraying the plate with a solution of fluorescamine. Method parameters were determined by analyzing spiked salmon muscle tissue samples. The method detection limits at the 99% confidence level were 0.11, 0.44, 0.07, 0.13 and 0.13 ppm for SDZ, SMRZ, SMTZ, SDMX and SP, respectively. The lowest-detectable levels were approximately 0.04 ppm for SDZ, SMTZ, SDMX and SP, and 0.10 ppm for SMRZ. The average recoveries of analyses were 61, 63, 60, 63 and 57% for SDZ, SMRZ, SMTZ, SDMX and SP, respectively, and were found to be analyst-dependent. The method was found to give linear detector responses for all analytes over spiking levels ranging from 0 to 2 ppm.     

Development and validation of an HPLC confirmatory method for the determination of seven tetracycline antibiotics residues in milk according to the European Union Decision 2002/657/EC

An HPLC method with diode-array detection, at 355 nm, was developed and validated for the determination of seven tetracyclines (TCs) in milk: minocycline (MNC), TC, oxytetracycline (OTC), methacycline (MTC), demeclocycline (DMC), chlortetracycline (CTC), and doxycycline (DC). Oxalate buffer (pH 4) was used with 20% TCA as a deproteinization agent for the extraction of analytes from milk followed by SPE. The separation was achieved on an Inertsil ODS-3, 5 microm, 250 x 4 mm(2 )analytical column at ambient temperature. The mobile phase, a mixture of A: 0.01 M oxalic acid and B: CH(3)CN, was delivered using a gradient program. The procedure was validated according to the European Union decision 2002/657/EC determining selectivity, stability, decision limit, detection capability, accuracy, and precision. Mean recoveries of TCs from spiked milk samples (50, 100, and 200 ng/g) were 93.8-100.9% for MNC, 96.8-103.7% for OTC, 96.3-101.8% for TC, 99.4-107.2% for DMC, 99.4-102.9% for CTC, 96.3-102.7% for MTC, and 94.6-102.1% for DC. All RSD values were lower than 8.5%. The decision limits CC(a) calculated by spiking 20 blank milk samples at MRL (100 microg/kg) ranged from 101.25 to 105.84 microg/kg, while detection capability CC(b )from 103.94 to 108.88 microg/kg.     

Validation of a Biacore method for screening eight sulfonamides in milk and porcine muscle tissues according to European decision 2002/657/EC

Sulfonamides are commonly used for prophylactic or therapeutic purposes in veterinary medicine. A maximum residue limit (MRL) for sulfonamides has been set at 100 microg/kg in milk and muscle. A multisulfonamide antibody was used for the development of 2 different Biacore protocols, one for the screening of milk samples, the other for muscle samples. Two different Biacore systems were used: Biacore X system (milk protocol), which is considered a research and development apparatus, and Biacore 3000 system (muscle protocol), which is a completely automated system used for high-throughput screening. This report describes the validation of semiquantitative immunological methods according to the European Decision 2002/657/EC "concerning the performance of analytical methods." The different performance characteristics (detection capability CCbeta, specificity/selectivity, precision, stability, and applicability) were determined in relation to the European Union MRL of 100 microg/kg for sulfonamides. The applicability of the method to porcine, bovine, and poultry muscle was studied. The detection capabilities CCbeta were calculated to be 40 microg/L in milk and 60 microg/kg in porcine, bovine, and poultry muscles. Eight different sulfonamides, of which 3 (sulfamethazine, sulfamerazine, and sulfadiazine) are authorized in France, were detected simultaneously, at or below the MRL level, with both Biacore systems.     

Development and validation of a confirmatory method for the determination of 12 non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in milk using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A rapid and reliable LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous confirmation of twelve non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in bovine milk was developed and fully validated in accordance with the European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. The validation scheme was built in accordance with the MRLs or target analytical levels (EU-CRL recommended concentrations and detection capabilities) of the analytes, except for diclofenac for which the lower level of validation achieved was 0.5 μg kg(-1) whereas its MRL is 0.1 μg kg(-1). The NSAIDs investigated were as follows: phenylbutazone (PBZ), oxyphenylbutazone (OPB), naproxen (NP), mefenamic acid (MF), vedaprofen (VDP), flunixin (FLU), 5-hydroxyflunixin (FLU-OH), tolfenamic acid (TLF), meloxicam (MLX), diclofenac (DC), carprofen (CPF) and ketoprofen (KTP). Several extraction procedures had been investigated during the development phase. Finally, the best results were obtained with a procedure using only methanol as the extraction solvent, with an evaporation step included and no further purification. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 analytical column and the run was split in 2 segments. Matrix effects were also investigated. Data acquisition implemented for the confirmatory purpose was performed by monitoring 2 MRM transitions per analyte under the negative electrospray mode. Mean relative recoveries ranged from 94.7% to 110.0%, with their coefficients of variation lying between 2.9% and 14.7%. Analytical limits expressed in terms of decision limits (CCα) were evaluated between 0.69 μg kg(-1) (FLU) and 27.54 μg kg(-1) (VDP) for non-MRL compounds, and at 0.10 (DC), 15.37 (MLX), 45.08 (FLU-OH), and 62.96 μg kg(-1) (TLF) for MRL compounds. The validation results proved that the method is suitable for the screening and confirmatory steps as implemented for the French monitoring plan for NSAID residue control in bovine milk.     

Utility of <Emphasis Type="Italic">π</Emphasis>-acceptor reagents for spectrophotometric determination of sulphonamide drugs via charge-transfer complex formation

A simple, sensitive and accurate spectrophotometric method for the determination of sulphonamides (sulphamethoxazole (SMZ), sulphaguanidine (SGD), sulphaquinoxaline sodium (SQX), sulphametrole (SMR), and sulphadimidine sodium (SDD)) has been developed. The charge-transfer reactions between sulphonamides as n-electron donors and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), and 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranilic acid, p-CLA) as π-acceptors resulting in highly coloured complexes were studied. Experimental conditions for these CT reactions were carefully optimised. Beer’s law is valid over the concentration ranges from 4–280 μg mL⁻¹, 4–260 μg mL⁻¹, 4–200 μg mL⁻¹, and 4–200 μg mL⁻¹ of SMZ, SGD, SQX, and SDD using DDQ reagent, respectively. While the calibration curves are linear in the concentration ranges from 4–180 μg mL⁻¹, 4–80 μg mL⁻¹, 4–60 μg mL⁻¹, 4–180 μg mL⁻¹, and 4–60 μg mL⁻¹ of SMZ, SGD, SQX, SMR, and SDD, respectively, using TCNQ reagent and from 4–380 μg mL⁻¹ and 4–300 μg mL⁻¹ of SQX and SDD, respectively, using p-CLA reagent, respectively. Different analytical parameters, namely molar absorptivity (ε), standard deviation, relative standard deviation, correlation coefficient, limit of detection, and limit of quantification, were calculated. The results obtained by the proposed methods are in good agreement with those obtained by the official method as indicated by the percent recovery values.     

Determination of sulfathiazole in type C medicated swine feed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization

A convenient method was developed for determination of sulfathiazole (STZ) in Type C medicated swine feed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) with post-column derivatization. Addition of extractant solution (0.2N HCl and 1.5% diethylamine in 25% methanol) and an internal standard (IS), sulfamethylthiazole (SMZ), to 5 g sample was followed by mechanical shaking for 1 h. The extract was clarified by chilling, centrifugation, and filtering before injection onto a C18 reversed-phase column. The mobile phase components were 2% acetic acid and 1:1 acetonitrile-methanol (83 + 17%, v/v). Run time was about 20 min. Determination and, largely, the method's selectivity were based on detection at 450 nm of the derivative formed by the post-column reaction of dimethylaminobenzaldehyde with the primary amine of the analyte and IS. The IS, SMZ, differs from STZ by a single substituent methyl group, is stable, and is readily resolved from STZ. Although SMZ is not commercially available, it can be synthesized with relative ease from purchased reagents and will be supplied by the authors to interested laboratories. In single-laboratory validation, linearity was demonstrated over the range of 0.055-550 microg/mL, well beyond the target concentration of 5.5 microg/mL. The estimated limit of detection was 0.04 microg/mL; the calculated limit of quantitation was 0.13 microg/mL (feed concentration of 2.4 g/T or 2.7 mg/kg). Wet-spiking trials with a variety of swine feed matrixes showed recovery to be 100-102% for the intended concentration range, 50-200 g/T, with coefficient of variation (CV) < 2%. The method ruggedness was verified with an overall CV of 2.9%.

Determination of sulfonamides in soil samples based on alumina-coated magnetite nanoparticles as adsorbents

In this study, alumina-coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄/Al₂O₃ NPs) were synthesized, and they were applied to the analysis of sulfonamides (SAs) including sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfamonomethoxine (SMM), sulfamethoxydiazine (SMD), sulfadimethoxine (SDM) and sulfaquinoxaline (SQX) in different soil samples based on magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE). The extraction and concentration process was carried out in a single step by mixing the extraction solvent, magnetic adsorbents and soil sample under ultrasonic action. Then, the adsorbents were isolated from the complicated matrix easily with an external magnetic field. The SAs desorbed from the adsorbents were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Compared with traditional methods, the MSPE method simplified the operation procedure and reduced the analysis time. Under the optimum conditions, the recoveries of SDZ, SMR, SMX, SMM, SMD and SDM by analyzing the five spiked soil samples were between 71% and 93% except for SQX (42-60%). This may be due to the stronger hydrophobic property of SQX. Detection limits of SAs were between 0.37 and 6.74 ng g⁻¹. It was also found that the “aging” effect of SAs contaminated soil could cause the recoveries to decrease.

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.

Determination of sulfadiazine and sulfamethoxazole by capillary electrophoresis with end-column electrochemical detection.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) with end-column electrochemical detection (EC) of sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) is described. Under the optimum conditions, SDZ and SMZ were separated satisfactorily, and a highly sensitive and stable response was obtained at a potential of 1.1 V versus Ag/AgCl. Optimized end-column detection provides detection limits as low as 0.1 microM for both compounds, which corresponds to 0.024 and 0.021 fmol with peak efficiencies of 394,000 and 335,000 theoretical plates for SDZ and SMZ, respectively. The calibration graph was linear over three order of magnitude. The relative standard deviations (n = 12) of peak currents and migration times were 2.3 and 2.7%, and 0.8 and 1.3%, respectively, for the two compounds. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of tablets and human urine samples with satisfactory results.
