Abstract We describe a gas-liquid chromatographic (GC) method for determination of oxybuprocaine, and a gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method for simultaneous determination of four of its nine metabolites in urine. We used an Extrelut column to simply and rapidly extract oxybuprocaine and its metabolites from urine. For the GC-MS analyses, we monitored the characteristic fragment ions at m/z 353, 395, 369, 411, and 235 for 3-butoxy-4-aminobenzoic acid (metabolite 2, M-2), 3-butoxy-4-acetylaminobenzoic acid (M-3), 3-hydroxy-4-aminobenzoic acid (M-4), 3-hydroxy-4-acetylaminobenzoic acid (M-5), and methaqualone (internal standard), respectively. We quantified the glucuronide of M-2 after enzymic treatment. The assay's selectivity and reproducibility (within-day and between-day CVs less than 8% for all metabolites) make it applicable to determine oxybuprocaine and its metabolites in human urine. Mean 9-h urinary excretion of oxybuprocaine and its five metabolites from four healthy volunteers was 89.2% after a 100-mg oral dose.

Abstract Twenty-one commercial chlorophenols were examined for the presence of polychlorodibenzo- p-dioxins (chlorodioxins) and related compounds. The chlorophenols were dissolved in aqueous alkali, extracted with petroleum ether, and fractionated on an alumina column. Alumina fractions were examined by electron capture gas chromatography and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Chlorodioxin content was estimated by electron capture gas chromatography. The presence of chlorodioxins, polychlorodibenzofurans (chlorofurans), and polychlorodiphenyl ethers (chloroethers) was confirmed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The 2,3,-7,8-tetrachlorodioxin was found in 3 of 6 samples of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol but was not detected in any of the 11 samples of tetra- and pentachlorophenol that were examined. Hexachlorodioxin was present at levels ranging from 0.17 to 39 ppm in all 8 pentachlorophenols examined. Hexa-, hepta-, and octachlorodioxins as well as a wide variety of chlorofurans and chloroethers of varying chlorine content were present in most of the tetra- and pentachlorophenols. In addition, the gas chromatographic- mass spectrometric data suggested that some of the chlorophenols contained methoxy- and dimethoxypolychlorofurans and methoxypolychloroethers as well as polychlorohy droxybiphenyl.

Abstract Derivative UV-spectrophotometric and liquid chromatographic (LC) methods for fleroxacin determination were validated. In the spectrophotometric assay, first-, second-, third-, and fourth-order measurements were applied with the use of peak–zero and peak–peak techniques. The linear correlation between amplitude of the peak and concentration of the examined drug ranged from 2.0 to 12.0 μg/mL. An isocratic LC analysis was performed on a Purospher ODS column with an acidic mobile phase containing tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. Measurements were made at a wavelength of 285 nm with 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) as internal standard. The calibration curve was linear (r = 0.9999) in the studied range of concentration (1.0–10.0 μg/mL). The accuracy (mean recovery, about 100%), precision (relative standard deviation <1%), selectivity, and sensitivity of the elaborated methods were satisfactory.

Abstract During an evaluation of the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) confirmatory procedure of Lynch and Bartoluccl for pyrantel residues in swine tissues, we developed a GC flame Ionization method for quantltatlng pyrantel residues In extracts of swine liver. The method was subjected to trial principally In the laboratories of Biospherics, Inc., using control liver, fortified control liver, and Incurred liver tissue samples. Although the method does not meet all of the current Food and Drug Administration criteria, it compares favorably to the official determinative method. Portions of the same extract can be used for quantitation and for GC/MS confirmation, true recoveries appear to be slightly higher, and an internal standard Is not required. The precision of this method equals or exceeds that of the official determinative method.

Abstract A gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric procedure is described for the quantitation and confirmation of clenbuterol residues from cattle, sheep, and swine tissues. After liquid–liquid extraction and derivatization with phosgene in an aqueous pH 10.1 buffer, the cyclic oxazolidone derivative is quantitated with a clenbuterol analogue as internal standard (NAB-760 CI). Confirmation is accomplished by comparison of ion ratios with those of a pure synthesized standard of clenbuterol oxazolidin-3-one obtained by selected ion monitoring, electron ionization gas chromatography/mass spectrometry on a benchtop instrument. Statistical information based on a series of standard curves for fortified tissues is included to describe method performance. Ion ratio variations were under 15%, and coefficients of variation for spiked tissue standard curves were above 0.997. Recoveries averaged 87.1 ± 6.6% for liver tissues across all 3 species and 67.1 ± 3.8% for muscle tissue across all 3 species.

Abstract A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for determining verapamil and norverapamil in plasma is presented and compared with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The plasma samples were extracted at alkaline pH with hexane containing 2-butanol (20 mL/L) and then back-extracted into phosphate buffer (0.1 mol/L, pH 3.0). For chromatography we used a reversed-phase column (Supelcosil LC-18 DB) with a mobile phase of the phosphate buffer and acetonitrile (70/30 by vol). Fluorescence detection was used (excitation at 203 nm, emission at 320 nm). Overall analytical recovery was 85%. Standard curves were linear from 1 to 1000 micrograms/L. The detection limit was 1 microgram/L. The assays are accurate and precise. We found no interferences by those substances tested. Results by HPLC and GC-MS agreed well (r = 0.99) for both verapamil and norverapamil determinations.

Abstract A convenient method for the determination of the JV-methyl,iVmethoxy- phenylurea herbicide (linuron) in potatoes has been developed. The herbicide is extracted from potatoes using a slightly modifled Luke multiresidue procedure. The extract is analyzed directly by gas chromatography with cold on-column injection, using an ion trap mass spectrometer in the chemical ionization mode as the detector. Quantitation is performed using p-bromonitrobenzene as the internal standard. The limit of detection is 0.1 ppm. Recoveries of linuron in potatoes averaged 112 ± 6% at the 0.5 ppm level, and 110 ± 2% at the 0.2 ppm level. No linuron residues were found in 25 potato samples that were analyzed by this method. Two other iV-methyl,iV-methoxyphenylurea herbicides, metobromuron and chlorbromuron, are also sufficiently stable to be determined by this method, but the N,Ndialkyl- phenylurea herbicides neburon, diuron, and monuron are too thermally unstable and degrade in the gas chromatograph.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric (LC/MS) electrospray confirmation method has been developed to confirm 4 ionophores (monensin, lasalocid, salinomycin, and narasin) in a variety of animal feeds using a single quadrupole mass spectrometer. The sodium ions of these compounds are dominant in the electrospray mass spectrum. Using optimized “in-source” collision induced dissociation, characteristic fragment ions seen previously using MS/MS can be observed. The drugs were extracted from the feed matrix using hexane–ethyl acetate and isolated using a silica solid-phase extraction cartridge. These ionophores were confirmed in both medicated feeds and nonmedicated feeds fortified with these drugs at the 1–50 ppm level. In addition, this method was used to confirm residues of monensin in a nonmedicated feed that was collected from a feed mill immediately after the production of a similar feed that was medicated with high levels of monensin.

Abstract Benzene in poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) coatings of nonstick cookware was determined by heating a small amount of coating in a sealed vial. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used to analyze the vial headspace for benzene. A small survey (26 samples) of retail nonstick cookware detected benzene ranging from 2 to 50 μg/dm2 in 7 samples. Nonstick frying pans with various polymer coatings were obtained directly from 1 manufacturer. Benzene (6–30 μg/dm2) was detected in a number of these samples and was attributed to the use of a phenylmethyl silicone ingredient that contained benzene at 360 mg/kg. To determine the possible transfer of benzene from these coatings during normal use, several foods (puddings, cakes, and roast potatoes) were prepared in previously unused cookware. The foods were analyzed by using static headspace GC/MS. Benzene was not detected in any of these foods at a limit of detection of 2 μg/kg. In related studies, the determination of benzene release from microwave susceptors was performed by heating the materials in a sealed system at 190PC for 4 min. Benzene release above 1 μg/dm2 was not detected in 24 samples of susceptors. However, 1 specially supplied sample of nonmetallized susceptor released 10 μg/dm2 benzene when heated above normal anticipated temperatures of usage (to 220°C). Foods such as french fries and pizza when cooked according to the manufacturer’s instructions in susceptors contained no benzene with a limit of detection of 2 μg/kg. Even under abuse conditions of susceptors, the transfer of benzene to foods remained below this limit.
