Metabolic studies of methenolone acetate in horses

Methenolone acetate (17β-acetoxy-1-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-3-one), a synthetic anabolic steroid, is frequently abused in human sports. It is preferred for its therapeutic efficiency and lower hepatic toxicity compared with its 17α-alkylated analogs. As with other anabolic steroids, methenolone acetate may be used to enhance performance in racehorses. Metabolic studies on methenolone acetate have been reported for humans, whereas little is known about its metabolic fate in horses. This paper describes the investigation of in vitro and in vivo metabolism of methenolone acetate in racehorses.Studies on the in vitro biotransformation of methenolone acetate with horse liver microsomes were carried out. Methenolone (M1, 1-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-17β-ol-3-one) and seven other metabolites (M2-M8) were detected in vitro. They were 1-methyl-5α-androst-1-ene-3,17-dione (M2), 1-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-6-ol-3,17-dione (M3) and two stereoisomers of 1-methylen-5α-androstan-2-ol-3,17-dione (M4 and M5), 1-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-16-ol-3,17-dione (M6) and monohydroxylated 1-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-17-ol-3-one (M7 and M8). After oral administration of Primobolan^® (80 tablets × 5 mg of methenolone acetate each) to two thoroughbred geldings, the parent steroid ester was not detected in the post-administration urine samples. However, seven metabolites, namely M1, M6-M8, two stereoisomers of M7 (M9 and M10) and 1-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-17α-ol-3-one (M11), could be detected. The metabolic pathway for methenolone acetate is postulated. This study has shown that metabolite M1 could be targeted for controlling the abuse of methenolone acetate in horses.     

Metabolic Studies of Clostebol Acetate in Horses

Clostebol acetate (4-chlorotestosterone acetate) is a synthetic anabolic steroid which may be used to enhance performance in racehorses. Studies on the in vitro biotransformation of clostebol acetate with horse liver microsomes were carried out. Six metabolites (C1 – C6) were detected. They were 4-chlorotestosterone (C1), 4-chloroandrost-4-en-3-ol-17-one (C2), 4-chloroandrost-4-ene-3,17-diol (C3), 4-chloroandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (C4), 4-chloroandrost-4-en-6-ol-3,17-dione (C5) and 6-hydroxy-4-chlorotestosterone (C6). Clostebol acetate (350 mg) was administered orally to 2 thoroughbred geldings. The parent drug was not detected in post-administration urine, and only three metabolites C1, C3, and 4-chloroandrostane-3,17-diol (C7) were observed. The metabolic pathway for clostebol acetate is postulated. These studies have shown that metabolites C3 and C7 could be used as potential screening targets for controlling the abuse or misuse of clostebol acetate in racehorses.

Analysis of gaseous arsenic species and stability studies of arsine and trimethylarsine by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A rapid method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was developed for analysis of four volatile arsenic species: arsine, monomethylarsine (MMA), dimethylarsine (DMA) and trimethylarsine (TMA). With the proposed method gaseous arsenic species could be determined in less than 2 min and no pre-treatment for gas phase samples was needed, which minimized the risks of species conversion before analysis. The detection limits for different species were 24–174 pg. The standards for arsine, MMA and DMA were prepared by reaction between arsenic acid, monomethylarsonic acid or dimethylarsinic acid with tetrahydroborate(III) and nitric acid. The effect of pH on recovery of different arsine species was examined and is discussed. The TMA was obtained commercially as liquid. Also stability of inorganic (arsine) and organic (TMA) gaseous arsenic species in air was studied as a function of time.

Determination of polyphenolic compounds in wastewater olive oil by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of 21 polyphenolic compounds in wastewater from olive oil production plants is proposed. The method involves a liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) procedure with ethyl acetate followed by a silylation step. Identification and quantification have been performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). MS measurements were carried out using selected ion monitoring mode (SIM). α-Naftol was used as internal standard. The proposed method was applied to the determination of these compounds in wastewater from an olive oil production factory in Jaén (Spain) at concentration levels ranging from 1.0 to 75.0 μg ml⁻¹ for each compound. The autodegradation process by own microbiota in samples collected in three different points of the factory was also studied. The method was validated by a recovery assay with spiked samples.     

Optimisation of derivatisation for the analysis of estrogenic compounds in water by solid-phase extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

An optimisation of derivatisation methods for the simultaneous determination of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in water by solid-phase extraction (SPE) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed in this study. Seven highly potent EDCs including 17β-estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), 16α-hydroxyestrone, 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), bisphenol A, 4-nonylphenol and 4-tert-octylphenol were selected as the target compounds. The SPE technique, followed by the derivatisation with N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) was used for the extraction recoveries of compounds from water and effluent samples. The stability of the silylation derivatives under different reaction conditions was investigated. The combined use of BSTFA and pyridine as derivatisation reagents, together with the use of hexane as the final solvent, was preferred in order to generate more stable derivatives of EDCs. The relative response factor (RRF) of all derivatives except that of EE2 was stable 120 h after derivatisation. The addition of pyridine as derivatisation reagent with BSTFA can prevent the conversion of EE2 to other products during the reaction. Several parameters that may affect the recovery of EDCs, such as the SPE flow rate, and water properties including aquatic colloid content and surfactant concentration were tested. The results showed that the flow rate (1-25 mL min⁻¹), colloid concentration (0-50 mg L⁻¹) and surfactants concentration (0-10 μg L⁻¹) did not cause significant decrease in the EDCs recovery.

Stir bar sorptive extraction with in situ derivatization and thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for trace analysis of methylmercury and mercury(II) in water sample

A method for the trace analysis of methylmercury (MeHg) and Hg(II) in water sample was developed, which involved stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) with in situ alkylation with sodium tetraethylborate and thermal desorption (TD)-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The limits of quantification of MeHg and Hg(II) are 20 and 10 ng L⁻¹ (Hg), respectively. The method shows good linearity and the correlation coefficients are higher than 0.999. The average recoveries of MeHg and Hg(II) in tap or river water sample are 102.1-104.3% (R.S.D.: 7.0-8.9%) and 105.3-106.2% (R.S.D.: 7.4-8.5%), respectively. This simple, accurate, sensitive, and selective analytical method may be used in the determination of trace amounts of MeHg and Hg(II) in tap and river water samples.
