Determination of azoxystrobin residues in grapes, musts and wines with a multicommuted flow-through optosensor implemented with photochemically induced fluorescence

In this paper, the conversion of azoxystrobin in a strongly fluorescent degradation product by UV irradiation with quantitative purposes and its fluorimetric determination are reported for the first time. A multicommuted flow injection-solid phase spectroscopy (FI-SPS) system combined with photochemically-induced fluorescence (PIF) is developed for the determination of azoxystrobin in grapes, must and wine. Grape samples were homogenized and extracted with methanol and further cleaned-up by solid-phase extraction on C₁₈ silica gel. Wine samples were solid-phase extracted on C₁₈ sorbent using dichloromethane as eluent. Recoveries of azoxystrobin from spiked grapes (0.5-2.0 mg Kg⁻¹), must (0.5-2.0 μg mL⁻¹) and wine (0.5-2.0 μg mL⁻¹) were 84.0-87.6%, 95.5-105.9% and 88.5-111.2%, respectively. The quantification limit for grapes was 0.021 mg Kg⁻¹, being within European Union regulations, and 18 μg L⁻¹ and 8 μg L⁻¹ for must and wine, respectively.     

HPLC-UV and HPLC-MSn multiresidue determination of amidosulfuron, azimsulfuron, nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron, thifensulfuron methyl, tribenuron methyl and azoxystrobin in surface waters

The paper presents a new HPLC method, with UV and MSⁿ detection, for the determination of seven pesticides, including the sulfonylurea herbicides amidosulfuron, azimsulfuron, nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron, thifensulfuron methyl, tribenuron methyl, and the fungicide azoxystrobin characterised by a methoxyacrilate structure. The methodology consists of a preconcentration/SPE (solid phase extraction) step and HPLC-UV (240 nm detection wavelength)-MSⁿ analysis. Under the optimised conditions and after a 1000/1 preconcentration factor, the limits of detection were lower than 14.5 ng L⁻¹ for UV detection and lower than 8.1 ng L⁻¹ for MS detection. The limits of quantification were lower than 48.3 ng L⁻¹ in UV detection and than 26.9 ng L⁻¹ in MSⁿ detection. The analysis of two samples, spiked with a mixture of the pesticides at threshold level concentrations, gave more than 60% recovery.     

Synthesis and characterization of azoxystrobin hydrophilic molecularly imprinted microspheres

Abstract

In this research, hydrophilic molecularly imprinted microspheres (HMIPs) for azoxystrobin were successfully synthesized through precipitation polymerization. The adsorption capacities of HMIPs for azoxystrobin in water medium were higher than ordinary molecularly imprinted microspheres (MIPs), and HMIPs exhibited good hydrophilic properties. HMIPs and non-imprinted microspheres (HNIPs) were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, laser particle size analyzer and TGA. Comparing with HNIPs, azoxystrobin had a significant influence on morphologys and sizes of HMIPs. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm illustrated each binding site of HMIPs had the same adsorption capacity. The Lagergran pseudo-second-order kinetic model indicated the adsorption process between azoxystrobin and HMIPs was chemical adsorption. BET test illustrated HMIPs had bigger specific surface areas than HNIPs. Selective adsorption indicated that HMIPs had highly specific recognition of azoxystrobin. HMIPs successfully exhibited high selectivity and high hydrophilicity in water medium.

Design,Synthesis and Fungicidal Activity of Novel Strobilurin-1, 2, 4-Triazole Derivatives Containing Furan or Thiophene Rings

A series of strobilurin-1,2,4-triazole derivatives containing a furan or thiophen ring was designed and synthesized. The structures of the compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and HRMS spectra. The bi-oassays indicated that the fungicidal activities of compounds 10b(EC₅₀=14.82 mg/L) and 10c(EC₅₀=18.72 mg/L) against Cercospora arachidicola Hori in vitro were much higher than that of Azoxystrobin as control(EC₅₀=40.54 mg/L) and the fungicidal activities of compounds 10u(EC₅₀=8.66 mg/L) and 10n(EC₅₀=9.89 mg/L) against Rhizotonia cerealis in vitro were higher than that of the same control(EC₅₀=10.86 mg/L). Compounds 10b, 10c, 10n and 10k could be considered as the leading compounds for further investigation.     

Dissipation kinetics,residues and risk assessment of propiconazole and azoxystrobin in ginseng and soil

The combinational fungicide suspension (11.7% propiconazole + 7% azoxystrobin), developed by Syngenta Co., Ltd., is very effective for the control of Alternaria black spot on ginseng. A simple and effective method was developed for determining propiconazole and azoxystrobin residues by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The recoveries of propiconazole ranged from 81.0% to 98.0% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 1.23–8.46%, while the recoveries of azoxystrobin ranged from 83.2% to 98.8% with RSDs of 3.29–9.50%. For the dissipation kinetics, the combinational fungicide was sprayed with dosage of 225 g a.i.ha^?1 (1.5 times of recommended dosage) in ginseng and soil at two different locations. The dissipation kinetics followed the first-order kinetics with half-lives of 6.66–13.33 days for propiconazole and 4.92–9.12 days for azoxystrobin. Based on the terminal residues data, the preharvest interval (PHI) could be 35 days at recommended dosage in ginseng. The dietary exposure risk was estimated by risk quotient (RQ). The result showed that the RQ value was obviously lower than RQ = 1, indicating that spraying propiconazole and azoxystrobin in ginseng at recommended dosage was safe for human beings.
