Development and validation of a simple solid‐phase extraction method coupled with liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of lincomycin,tylosin A and tylosin B in royal jelly

We have developed an analytical method for the determination of lincomycin, tylosin A and tylosin B residues in royal jelly using liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry analysis. For extraction and purification, we employed 1% trifluoroacetic acid and 0.1 m Na₂EDTA solutions along with an Oasis HLB cartridge. The target antibiotics were well separated in a Kinetex EVO C₁₈ reversed‐phase analytical column using a combination of 0.1% formate acid in ultrapure water (A) and acetonitrile (B) as the mobile phase. Good linearity was achieved over the tested concentration range (5–50 μg/kg) in matrix‐matched standard calibration. The coefficients of determination (R²) were 0.9933, 0.9933 and 0.996, for tylosin A, tylosin B and lincomycin, respectively. Fortified royal jelly spiked with three different concentrations of the tested antibiotics (5, 10 and 20 μg/kg) yielded recoveries in the range 80.94–109.26% with relative standard deviations ≤4%. The proposed method was applied to monitor 11 brand of royal jelly collected from domestic markets and an imported brand from New Zealand; all the samples tested negative for lincomycin, tylosin A and tylosin B residues. In conclusion, 1% trifluoroacetic acid and 0.1 m Na₂EDTA aqueous solvents combined with solid‐phase extraction could effectively complete the sample preparation process for royal jelly before analysis. The developed approach can be applied for a routine analysis of lincomycin, tylosin A and tylosin B residues in royal jelly.     

An overview of analytical methodologies for the determination of antibiotics in environmental waters

The widespread occurrence of antibiotics as contaminants in the aquatic environment has increased attention in the last years. The concern over the release of antibiotics into the environment is related primarily to the potential for the development of antimicrobial resistance among microorganisms. This article presents an overview of analytical methodologies for the determination of quinolone (Qs) and fluoroquinolone (FQs), macrolide (MLs), tetracycline (TCs), sulfonamide (SAs) antibiotics and trimethoprim (TMP) in different environmental waters. The analysis of these antibiotics has usually been carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and to a lesser extent by ultraviolet (UV) or fluorescence detection (FD). A very important step before LC analysis is sample preparation and extraction leading to elimination of interferences and prevention of matrix effect and preconcentration of target analytes.     

Rheological behavior of fermentation broths in antibiotic industry

An experimental study of rheological behavior of three morphological types of fermentation broths in relation to process conditions was carried out in industrial and pilot-plant bioreactors. Three industrially manufactured antibiotic broths were studied: Cephalosporin C (fungal), tylosin (actinomycetic), and apramycin (proactinomycetic), in which the rheology may cause real problems. A viscometer with coaxial cylinders and six-blade impeller was used for rheological measurements. The shear rates range in which both the instruments give similar results was determined. During the experiments rheological and morphological behavior, pH, activity, biomass concentration, fats, glucose, and nitrogen concentrations were studied. All the broths studied exhibited nonNewtonian behavior, which could be described with Ostvald-de-Waele power-law model. It was found that the rheological behavior of the broths during the process is closely related to biomass concentration and morphological changes of mycelia, so that viscosity could be used as a parameter for process monitoring and regulation. A set of experiments on oxygentransfer improvement in the case of the most viscous tylosin broths by water addition was also done.

Reaction mechanism of tylosin tartrate with lysozyme

Under simulated physiological conditions, the interaction between tylosin tartrate and lysozyme was investigated at pH?=?7.40 by fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that tylosin tartrate could strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of lysozyme. By determining the quenching constants of the reaction between tylosin tartrate and lysozyme at different temperatures, the quenching mechanism was proven to be a static quenching process. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH°, ΔS°) of the reaction between tylosin tartrate and lysozyme were obtained by the Van’t Hoff equation, and were 27.80?kJ mol^?1 and 166.28?J mol^?1 K^?1, respectively. The results showed that hydrophobic interaction between tylosin tartrate and lysozyme was dominant. Synchronous fluorescence spectra revealed that the conformation of lysozyme was changed. This method could be applied to measure the content of tylosin tartrate.     

Analysis of antibiotics from liquid sample using electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry

The recent findings of antibiotic residues in aquatic environment at trace level have gained much concern for the detrimental effect on ecological and human health due to bacterial resistance. Here, the feasibility of using electrospray ionization ion mobility spectrometry (ESI-IMS) for analysis antibiotics in liquid sample is demonstrated. Reduced mobilities and collision cross sections of 18 antibiotics are experimentally measured and compared with theoretical values according to mass-mobility correlation. Gentamicin is used as an example to investigate the capability of ESI-IMS for multi-component analysis of antibiotics. Mixtures of antibiotics at different concentrations are analyzed. The estimated detection limit for amoxicillin is 0.7 mg L⁻¹ (70 pg) and the linear range of response maintains over two orders. This method will be a potential technique for the analysis of antibiotics in aquatic environment.

Molecular mechanics conformational analysis of tylosin

The conformations of the 16-membered macrolide antibiotic tylosin were studied with molecular mechanics (AMBER* force field) including modelling of the effect of the solvent on the conformational preferences (GB/SA). A Monte Carlo conformational search procedure was used for finding the most probable low-energy conformations. The present study provides complementary data to recently reported analysis of the conformations of tylosin based on NMR techniques. A search for the low-energy conformations of protynolide, a 16-membered lactone containing the same aglycone as tylosin, was also carried out, and the results were compared with the observed conformation in the crystal as well as with the most probable conformations of the macrocyclic ring of tylosin. The dependence of the results on force field was also studied by utilizing the MM3 force field. Some particular conformations were computed with the semiempirical molecular orbital methods AM1 and PM3.     

丙烯酸酯树脂对泰乐菌素的吸附

通过调节单体、交联剂和致孔剂的种类及数量合成了一系列具有不同孔结构的丙烯酸酯树脂,并从中选出具有典型吸附差异的2种树脂,拥有适合的孔分布结构的三羟甲基丙烷三甲基丙烯酸甲酯(TRIM)聚合树脂(1#)和含酰胺基的三烯丙基异氰尿酸酯(TAIC)与TRIM共聚树脂(5#),与商业化大孔丙烯酸酯树脂XAD-7作比较,研究了丙烯酸酯树脂对泰乐菌素的吸附行为和机理。结果表明,树脂1#表现出了对泰乐菌素有最高的吸附量。3种吸附剂的吸附量随溶液pH值的升高呈增加趋势。吸附剂的吸附能力随溶液NaCl离子浓度的增强而提高,而对CuCl2则呈相反趋势,这是因为疏水作用和孔径排斥效应的贡献。泰乐菌素在3种吸附剂上的吸附动力学均符合准二级动力学模型,吸附等温线符合Langmuir模型。升高温度可以使树脂吸附能力增强,可能是“溶剂替代”效应所致。
