[PMID: 38359573 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
Herein, we develop a dual-mode biosensor for photoelectrochemical and colorimetric detection of organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) based on ultrathin-FeOOH-coated MnO2 (MO@FHO) nanozyme. In this biosensor, OPPs can inhibit the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and hinder the dephosphorylation of l-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate, preventing the decomposition of MO@FHO nanozyme and inducing both a photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal and the colorimetric change. The MO@FHO nanozyme not only possesses an enhanced catalase-like activity to degrade H2O2 for the generation of an improved cathodic photocurrent, but also exhibits an excellent oxidase-like activity to oxidize 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine with high catalytic efficiency. This biosensor displays a detection limit of 50 pmol/L for the PEC mode and a detection limit of 0.8 nmol/L for the colorimetric mode. Moreover, this biosensor exhibits excellent performance in complex biological matrices, and the smartphone-based visual sensing platform facilitates rapid and sensitive detection of OPPs, holding promising applications in food safety monitoring, and on-site detection.

Impact of CYP2D6*2A, CYP2D6*4 and CYP3A5*3 genetic polymorphisms on Bisoprolol peak concentration and clinical response in acute coronary syndrome patients. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2024. [PMID: 38886107 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.16134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents a major cause of death. Bisoprolol is commonly used in the management of ACS. This study aims to investigate the impact of CYP2D6*2A, CYP2D6*4 and CYP3A5*3 genetic polymorphisms on pharmacokinetics and clinical response of bisoprolol in ACS patients. METHODS This is an open-label cohort study that included 127 ACS patients and studied the effect of CYP3A5*3, CYP2D6*2A and CYP2D6*4 genotyping using real-time polymerase chain reaction on steady state bisoprolol plasma peak concentration analysed by high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector. RESULTS Regarding CYP3A5*3, the mean peak bisoprolol concentration for CC, CT and TT genotypes were 4.25 ± 1.20, 3.93 ± 1.10 and 1.79 ± 0.69 ng/mL, respectively (P < .001). Higher systolic (126 ± 5.47 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (82 ± 2.73 mmHg) and heart rate (97.80 ± 3.03 beats/min) were also observed in CYP3A5*3 TT carriers (P < .05). In CYP2D6*2A, the peak concentration of bisoprolol was lower in CC carriers (3.54 ± 1 ng/mL) compared to GG (4.38 ± 1.25 ng/mL) and GC carriers (4.07 ± 1.29 ng/mL, P = .019). In CYP2D6*4, the mean bisoprolol peak concentration in CC carriers was 3.98 ± 1.31 ng/mL, which was lower than T allele carriers (4.5 ± 0.8, P = .02). No differences in heart rate, systolic, diastolic blood pressure or bisoprolol dose were observed among CYP2D6*2A or CYP2D6*4 variants. Smokers exhibited lower bisoprolol peak concentration (3.96 ± 1.2 ng/mL) compared to nonsmokers (4.55 ± 1.34 ng/mL, P = .037). CONCLUSION There is an association between CYP3A5*3, CYP2D6*4, CYP2D6*2A variants and bisoprolol peak concentration, which may serve as a guide in the future in choosing the optimum dose of bisoprolol in ACS patients.

Abstract
Synthetic pesticides are employed to enhance agricultural production. Chronic exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides may be a source of health problems. The present study was designed to examine an association of GSTP1 (rs1695) polymorphism with OP pesticide chronic exposure. A case-control study was recruited with 250 subjects comprising exposed (n = 100) and controls (n = 150). A survey was conducted to determine the pesticide type to which workers had exposed. According to recorded survey assessment, two compounds of OP pesticides chloropyrifos and malathion were investigated in the blood samples of exposed study subjects using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). For screening of genetic polymorphism in GSTP1 (rs1695) polymerase chain reaction, restriction length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and agarose gel electrophoresis were performed. Statistically, data were analyzed using SPSS v. 20.0 and MedCal© software. Total chrom© navigator programmer was used for detection of OP residues in serum and local pesticide solution. chloropyrifos-OP pesticide residues were detected in serum of estimated chronically exposed subjects at 206 nm HPLC optimal conditions. The pattern of GSTP1 (rs1695) genotypic frequencies depicted that heterozygous genotype was higher in Chloropyrifos exposed subjects (0.56) when compared with controls (0.44). Statistical outcomes showed an insignificant association with GSTP1 (rs1695) polymorphism and chloropyrifos-OP pesticide toxicity (Fisher's exact test 1.0, p = 0.25). An insignificant allelic investigation reflected a protective effect of mutant allele G against chloropyrifos-OP pesticide toxicity in exposed subjects. Findings may be helpful in identifying bioaccumulated pesticide residues, but in studied Pakistani exposed workers, no significant association of GSTP1 (rs1695) variant with chloropyrifos-OPs was demonstrated.

Abstract
As the number of prohibited drugs has been progressively increasing and analytical methods for detecting such substances are renewed continuously for doping control, the need for more sensitive and accurate doping analysis has increased. To address the urgent need for high throughput and accurate analysis, liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry is actively utilized in case of most of the newly designated prohibited substances. However, because all mass spectrometer vendors provide data processing software that is incapable of handling other instrumental data, it is difficult to cover all doping analysis procedures, from method development to result reporting, on one platform. Skyline is an open-source and vendor-neutral software program invented for the method development and data processing of targeted proteomics. Recently, the utilization of Skyline has been expanding for the quantitative analysis of small molecules and lipids. Herein, we demonstrated Skyline as a simple platform for unifying overall doping control, including the optimization of analytical methods, monitoring of data quality, discovery of suspected doping samples, and validation of analytical methods for detecting newly prohibited substances. For method optimization, we selected the optimal collision energies for 339 prohibited substances. Notably, 195 substances exhibited a signal intensity increase of >110% compared with the signal intensity of the original collision energy. All data related to method validation and quantitative analysis were efficiently visualized, extracted, or calculated using Skyline. Moreover, a comparison of the time consumed and the number of suspicious samples screened in the initial test procedure highlighted the advantages of using Skyline over the commercially available software TraceFinder in doping control.

Abstract
Arsenic-containing lipids, also named arsenolipids (AsLs), are a group of organic compounds usually found in a variety of marine organisms such as fish, algae, shellfish, marine oils, and microorganisms. Numerous AsLs have been recognised so far, from simple compounds such as arsenic fatty acids (AsFAs), arsenic hydrocarbons (AsHCs), and trimethylarsenio fatty alcohols (TMAsFOHs) to more complex arsenic-containing species, of which arsenophospholipids (AsPLs) are a case in point. Mass spectrometry, both as inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS) and liquid chromatography coupled by an electrospray source (LC-ESI-MS), was applied to organic arsenicals playing a key role in extending and refining the characterisation of arsenic-containing lipids in marine organisms. Herein, upon the introduction of a systematic notation for AsLs and a brief examination of their toxicity and biological role, the most relevant literature concerning the characterisation of AsLs in marine organisms, including edible ones, is reviewed. The use of both ICP-MS and ESI-MS coupled with reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) has brought significant advancements in the field. In the case of ESI-MS, the employment of negative polarity and tandem MS analyses has further enhanced these advancements. One notable development is the identification of the m/z 389.0 ion ([AsC10H19O9P]-) as a diagnostic product ion of AsPLs, which is obtained from the fragmentation of the deprotonated forms of AsPLs ([M - H]-). The pinpointing product ions offer the possibility of determining the identity and regiochemistry of AsPL side chains. Advanced MS-based analytical methods may contribute remarkably to the understanding of the chemical diversity characterising the metalloid As in natural organic compounds of marine organisms.

Abstract
Construction of covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-based nanozymes is of great importance for the extensive applications in catalysis and sensing fields. In this work, a two-dimensional COF (DAFB-DCTP COF) was fabricated via Knoevenagel condensation reaction. The integration of catalytically active sites of pyridine groups into the donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated skeleton endows DAFB-DCTP COF with both hydrolytic and photosensitive properties. The DAFB-DCTP COF can be utilized as an artificial enzyme with selective and photo-enhanced catalytic efficiency, facilitating its application in photocatalytic degradation of hydrolase substrates (p-nitrophenyl acetate, pNPA) by nucleophilic reaction and further realizing colorimetric detection of the nanozyme inhibitor of organophosphorus nerve agent (diethyl cyanophosphonate, DCNP). The distinct color changes could be distinguished by naked eyes even at a low DCNP concentration, and the versatile smartphone analysis featured with reliability and simplicity. For the first time, the COFs' intrinsic hydrolase activity depending on their structural characteristics was investigated in synergy with the photosensitive performance originating from their photoelectric features. The present contribution provides a promising direction towards construction of colorimetric sensing platform based on the regulation of COFs' non-oxidoreductase activity under visible light irradiation.

Abstract
Humans are at risk of exogenous exposure to exogenous chemicals. Challenges exist for the comprehensive monitoring of residues with different physical and chemical properties in serum. Here, an on-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) - high resolution mass spectrometry system (HRMS) was developed, expanding the range of the partition coefficient in octanol/water of the residue analysis from -8 to 12. A high-coverage serum residue screening strategy was further designed by integrating 2D-LC system with HRMS full MS/data independent acquisition and automatic spectral library searching. This strategy enables to simultaneously screen 1210 pesticides, veterinary/human drugs, other chemical pollutants and their metabolites in serum with a single analysis. Method validation showed 92% and 81% of 1022 residues spiked in serum could be detected at 50 ng/mL and 5 ng/mL, respectively. The developed method was applied to the analysis of 24 separately pooled serum samples, 58 suspect residues were found, some of them were detected at high frequencies over than 50%. Among them, 4,6-Dinitro-O-cresol and probable carcinogenic folpet are highly toxic, and cimaterol is banned in China. Collectively, this study developed a 2D-LC-HRMS -based screening strategy for screening pesticides, veterinary/human drugs, and other chemical pollutants in serum, it is helpful for studying the effect of exogenous exposures on human health.

Abstract
Matrix effect (ME) is unavoidable in multiresidue pesticide analysis, even when using highly advanced instruments, and differences in MEs can affect residue analytical accuracy due to pomegranate cultivar composition variations. However, literature to support this claim is limited.The study used GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS to investigate four different Indian pomegranate cultivar extracts and their MEs on multi-class pesticides.The whole fruit and arils of all cultivarswere tested for 22 GC-amenable and 21 LC-amenable pesticides. Principal component analysis of the data confirmed that each cultivar had unique MEs for each pesticide.The majority of pesticides showed acute variations in recovery rates with 95% confidence, while GC-MS/MS-amenablepesticides showed more variation. Although extrapolative dilution reduced the influence of MEs on analytical accuracy, a generalized matrix-matching for all cultivars was not possible to achieve.To reduce the variability in MEs, it is recommended that a cultivar-specific matrix-matched standard should be used.

Abstract
Analysis of biofluids, such as plasma, can be used to investigate occupational pesticide exposure in the agricultural industry. Considering the chemical complexity and variability of plasma samples, any protocol for pesticide analysis should achieve efficient sample cleanup to minimize matrix effects and enhance method sensitivity through analyte pre-concentration. In this work, a high-throughput method was developed for analysis of 79 pesticides, commonly used in agricultural practices, in human plasma, using biocompatible solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. An SPME method was developed using a biocompatible hydrophilic-lipophilic balance/polyacrylonitrile (HLB/PAN) extraction phase and demonstrated negligible matrix effects. The performance of the developed SPME method was compared to a QuEChERS -Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe- method, the most common sample preparation and cleanup approach for pesticide analysis in complex matrices. Comparable accuracy and precision were achieved for both methods, with accuracy values within 70-120% and relative standard deviation < 15%. Overall, the developed SPME and QuEChERS methods extracted 79 out of 82 monitored pesticides in human plasma. The SPME protocol demonstrated higher sensitivity than the QuEChERS method and a drastic reduction of matrix effects.

Abstract
In this study, blood and plasma of grey partridges (Perdix perdix) were analyzed to assess their potential contamination by plant protection products (PPP) and especially pesticide compounds. The group of pesticides selected is composed of a huge variety of compounds. Therefore, in this study, two methods were optimized and validated to analyze 104 compounds including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and photoprotectors or synergists. Various extraction methods found in the literature were compared and adapted for the extraction of pesticides from blood and plasma. After extraction, samples were concentrated then injected for quantification simultaneously in LC-MS/MS and ATD-GC-MS/MS with an automatic thermal desorption step (ATD). Both LC-MS/MS and ATD-GC-MS/MS analyses were performed using the MRM mode with 2 mass transitions for each compound.The two analytical methods achieved a good linearity for the calibration responses in plasma and blood. Methods allowed sensitive detection and quantification in complex biological matrices such as plasma and blood in both LC and GC. For plasma samples and considering all 104 compounds of the study, the average LOD was 0.005 ng mg-1 in LC-MS/MS and 0.035 ng mg-1 in ATD-GC-MS/MS and the average LOQ was 0.017 ng mg-1 and 0.116 ng mg-1 in LC-MS/MS and ATD-GC-MS/MS respectively. Accordingly, the average LOD for blood samples was 0.011 ng mg-1 in LC and 0.028 ng mg-1 in GC whereas the average LOQ was 0.038 ng mg-1 and 0.094 ng mg-1 in LC-MS/MS and ATD-GC-MS/MS respectively. Those analytical methods were then successfully applied to 70 blood samples and 35 plasma samples.

Abstract
Nanozymes are defined as nanomaterials exhibiting enzyme-like properties, and they possess both catalytic functions and nanomaterial's unique physicochemical characteristics. Due to the excellent stability and improved catalytic activity in comparison to natural enzymes, nanozymes have established a wide base for applications in environmental pollutants monitoring and remediation. Nanozymes have been applied in the detection of heavy metal ions, molecules, and organic compounds, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Additionally, within the natural environment, nanozymes can be employed for the degradation of organic and persistent pollutants such as antibiotics, phenols, and textile dyes. Further, the potential sphere of applications for nanozymes traverses from indoor air purification to anti-biofouling agents, and even they show promise in combatting pathogenic bacteria. However, nanozymes may have inherent toxicity, which can restrict their widespread utility. Thus, it is important to evaluate and monitor the interaction and transformation of nanozymes towards biosphere damage when employed within the natural environment in a cradle-to-grave manner, to assure their utmost safety. In this context, various studies have concluded that the green synthesis of nanozymes can efficiently overcome the toxicity limitations in real life applications, and nanozymes can be well utilized in the sensing and degradation of several toxic pollutants including metal ions, pesticides, and chemical warfare agents. In this seminal review, we have explored the great potential of nanozymes, whilst addressing a range of concerns, which have often been overlooked and currently restrict widespread applications and commercialization of nanozymes.

Abstract
Pesticides are a safety issue globally and cause serious concerns for the environment, wildlife and human health. The handheld detection of four pesticide residues widely used in Basmati rice production using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is reported. Different SERS substrates were synthesised and their plasmonic and Raman scattering properties evaluated. Using this approach, detection limits for pesticide residues were achieved within the range of 5 ppb-75 ppb, in solvent. Various extraction techniques were assessed to recover pesticide residues from spiked Basmati rice. Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERs) acetate extraction was applied and characteristic spectral data for each pesticide was obtained from the spiked matrix and analysed using handheld-SERS. This approach allowed detection limits within the matrix conditions to be markedly improved, due to the rapid aggregation of nanogold caused by the extraction medium. Thus, detection limits for three out of four pesticides were detectable below the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) of 10 ppb in Basmati rice. Furthermore, the multiplexing performance of handheld-SERS was assessed in solvent and matrix conditions. This study highlights the great potential of handheld-SERS for the rapid on-site detection of pesticide residues in rice and other commodities.

Abstract
Complementing the genome with an understanding of the human exposome is an important challenge for contemporary science and technology. Tens of thousands of chemicals are used in commerce, yet cost for targeted environmental chemical analysis limits surveillance to a few hundred known hazards. To overcome limitations which prevent scaling to thousands of chemicals, we develop a single-step express liquid extraction and gas chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis to operationalize the human exposome. We show that the workflow supports quantification of environmental chemicals in human plasma (200 µL) and tissue (≤100 mg) samples. The method also provides high resolution, sensitivity and selectivity for exposome epidemiology of mass spectral features without a priori knowledge of chemical identity. The simplicity of the method can facilitate harmonization of environmental biomonitoring between laboratories and enable population level human exposome research with limited sample volume.

Abstract
This work presents a simple, rapid and green chiral analysis method for five triazole fungicides (penconazole, tebuconazole, triadimefon, myclobutanil, and triadimenol) in tobacco, by which the samples were cleaned up by the novel pass-through solid phase extraction and subsequently the stereoisomers were separated and determined by the supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS). Optimized separation of the stereoisomers was achieved on an ACQUITY UPC2 Trefoil AMY 1 column within 6 min. Under fortified concentration levels of 0.1, 0.5 and 2.0 mg/kg, the mean recoveries were 82.8-106.6%, the intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.1-6.6%, and the inter-day RSDs were 2.5-5.6%. The correlation coefficient was greater than 0.9926 for all studied analytes within the range of 10-500 ng/mL. The limits of detection (LODs) for all stereoisomers ranged from 0.26 μg/kg to 3.24 μg/kg. The established method was subsequently successfully applied to analyze authentic samples, confirming that this method is a novel, rapid and environmentally friendly method for the stereoselective separation of triazole fungicides in tobacco.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions and pesticides are extremely dangerous for human health and environment and an accurate detection is an essential step to monitor their levels in water. The standard and most used methods for detecting these pollutants are sophisticated and expensive analytical techniques. However, recent technological advancements have allowed the development of alternative techniques based on optical properties of noble metal nanomaterials, which provide many advantages such as ultrasensitive detection, fast turnover, simple protocols, in situ sampling, on-site capability and reduced cost. This paper provides a review of the most common photo-physical effects impact on the fluorescence of metal nanomaterials and how these processes can be exploited for the detection of pollutant species. The final aim is to provide readers with an updated guide on fluorescent metallic nano-systems used as optical sensors of heavy metal ions and pesticides in water.

Abstract
Nanozymes are advanced nanomaterials which mimic natural enzymes by exhibiting enzyme-like properties. As nanozymes offer better structural stability over their respective natural enzymes, they are ideal candidates for real-time and/or remote environmental pollutant monitoring and remediation. In this review, we classify nanozymes into four types depending on their enzyme-mimicking behaviour (active metal centre mimic, functional mimic, nanocomposite or 3D structural mimic) and offer mechanistic insights into the nature of their catalytic activity. Following this, we discuss the current environmental translation of nanozymes into a powerful sensing or remediation tool through inventive nano-architectural design of nanozymes and their transduction methodologies. Here, we focus on recent developments in nanozymes for the detection of heavy metal ions, pesticides and other organic pollutants, emphasising optical methods and a few electrochemical techniques. Strategies to remediate persistent organic pollutants such as pesticides, phenols, antibiotics and textile dyes are included. We conclude with a discussion on the practical deployment of these nanozymes in terms of their effectiveness, reusability, real-time in-field application, commercial production and regulatory considerations.

Abstract
A LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of twelve triazole enantiomers (hexaconazole, tebuconazole, triticonazole, flutriafol, diniconazole, paclobutrazol) in six fruits and vegetables was established based on a stable and self-made bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin)-bonded chiral stationary phase. Simultaneous enantio-separation of multiple analytes was achieved with resolution ca. 1.67-2.14. Magnetically assisted QuECHERS was used to simplify and optimize sample pre-treatment. The new method was validated (accuracy, precision, matrix effect, etc.). Good linearity (0.5-20 μg/L, R2 > 0.99) and high recoveries (76.1-103.4%) based on intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSDs) (2.6-11.9%), were obtained. Furthermore, a total of 90 samples were analyzed using this method and enantiomeric fractions (EF) for tebuconazole in strawberry and cucumber (0.63 and 0.43, respectively) were determined as well as 0.57 for flutriafol in tomato. This high-throughput detection method supported a convenient enantiomeric monitoring for chiral pesticides in fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
Acephate (Ac), an organophosphate (OP) insecticide, is very harmful to human and the environment. Conventional techniques of detection are sensitive and selective but relatively time-consuming, expensive, and require trained personnel. This paper describes the use of an image processing technique to digitize the red values (RVs) of the colour image of Ac-capped gold nanoparticles (Ac-Cit-AuNPs) complex captured using a digital microscope to improve the detection accuracy and precision. The formation of the suspension was characterised using laser test, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR). The linear regression analysis revealed that the detection sensitivity improved as the smaller gold nanoparticles were used. For quantitative measurement using image processing, a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.9905 and 0.9924) for Cit-HAuNPs and Cit-MAuNPs, respectively, between the concentration of Ac and average red values was obtained in the range of 0–8 mM. The limit of detection (LOD) for Ac was found to be 0.3 mM and 0.4 mM for Cit-MAuNPs and Cit-HAuNPs, respectively.

Abstract
This mini-review aims to discuss the development and applications of mass spectrometry (MS)-based hybrid approaches in metabolomics. Several recently developed hybrid approaches are introduced. Then, the overall workflow, frequently used instruments, data handling strategies, and applications are compared and their pros and cons are summarized. Overall, the improved repeatability and quantitative capability in large-scale MS-based metabolomics studies are demonstrated, in comparison to either targeted or untargeted metabolomics approaches alone. In summary, we expect this review to serve as a first attempt to highlight the development and applications of emerging hybrid approaches in metabolomics, and we believe that hybrid metabolomics approaches could have great potential in many future studies.

Abstract
A convenient and straightforward method, which is based on catechol dyes and tyrosinase, for colorimetric determination and discrimination of dithiocarbamate pesticides (DTCs) has been fabricated. Three catechol dyes, including pyrocatechol violet (PV), pyrogallol red (PR), and bromopyrogallol red (BPR), were chosen as both substrates and indicators in this method. Tyrosinase can facilitate oxidation of the catechol dyes, altering color and absorbance spectra of the dyes. DTCs can alter the absorbance spectra of the catechol dyes-tyrosinase system due to their inhibitory effects on tyrosinase. As a result, the detection limit of the PV-tyrosinase system on ziram was determined to be 4.5 μg L-1. By implementing PV-tyrosinase, PR-tyrosinase, and BPR-tyrosinase, the colorimetric array successfully distinguished six DTCs (thiram, ziram, diram, ferbam, metiram, and mancozeb) at 5.0 μM using principal component analysis (PCA). The system can also determine ziram and distinguish DTCs in real samples. Furthermore, a smartphone can be used as a detector in this system to improve its real-world applications.

Abstract
Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against many plant pathogens, produced by Pseudomonas and other species. The biosynthesis and regulation of PCA has been well documented, but there is no report about its photochemical properties. Herein, the photodegradation of PCA was carried out in an aqueous solution under the irradiation of visible light to investigate the kinetics, mechanism, and identification of photodegradation products of PCA. Results revealed that photodegradation of PCA accorded well with first-order reaction kinetics. The measured half-life of PCA was 2.2 days at pH 5.0 and increased to 37.6 days at pH 6.8 when exposed to visible light. When oxygen was removed from its solution, the half-life of PCA was doubled. Different units of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme (i.e. 0, 300, and 3000 units) and varying concentrations of sodium azide (i.e. 0 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg) were used to decipher the mechanism for PCA photodegradation. Hydroxyl PCA and hydroxy phenazine were tentatively identified as the degradation products of PCA photodegradation process by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The obtained degradation products were further characterized and confirmed by HPLC-mass spectrometry and LC-MS/MS-based analytical approaches. In conclusion, the degradation of PCA was found to be light dependent, which could be accelerated by hydrogen ion and oxidant in the solution. The results suggest that PCA was more stable when stored in a neutral or alkaline environment or in the dark. Therefore, it is important to modify the PCA structure or use a suitable dosage for its broad-spectrum applications.

Abstract
Recently, high demand of high-throughput analyses with high sensitivity and selectivity to molecules and drugs in different classes with different physical-chemical properties—and a reduction in analysis time—is a principal milestone for novel methodologies that researchers are trying to achieve—especially when analytical procedures are applied to clinical purposes. In addition, to avoid high doses of a single drug that could cause serious side effects, multi-drug therapies are often used to treat numerous diseases. For these reasons, the demand for methods that allow the rapid analysis of mixed compounds has increased in recent years. In order to respond to these needs, new methods and instruments have been developed. However, often the complexity of a matrix can require a long time for the preparation and processing of the samples. Different problems in terms of components, types of matrices, compounds and physical-chemical complexity are encountered when considering drugs association profiles for quantitative analyses. This review addresses not only recently optimized procedures such as chromatographic separation, but also methods that have allowed us to obtain accuracy (precision and trueness), sensitivity and selectivity in quantitative analyses for cases of drug associations.

Abstract
Pesticides, widely used for pest control and plant growth regulation, have posed a threat to the environment and human health. Conventional methods to analyze pesticide residues are not applied to resource-limited areas because of their high cost, complexity, and requirements for expensive instruments (such as GC/MS and LC/MS). To address these challenges, herein we fabricated colorimetric nanozyme sensor arrays based on heteroatom-doped graphene for detection of aromatic pesticides. The active sites of nanozymes could be differentially masked when different pesticides were adsorbed on the graphene, which in turn resulted in the decrease of their peroxidase-mimicking activities. On the basis of this principle, five pesticides (i.e., lactofen, fluoroxypyr-meptyl, bensulfuron-methyl, fomesafen, and diafenthiuron) from 5 to 500 μM were successfully discriminated by the sensor arrays. In addition, discrimination for different concentrations of each pesticide and different ratios of two mixed pesticides were also demonstrated. The practical application of the sensor arrays was further validated by successfully discriminating the pesticides in soil samples. This work not only provides a facile and cost-effective method to detect pesticides but also makes a positive contribution to food safety and environmental protection.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is gaining importance as an ultrasensitive analytical tool for routine high-throughput analysis of a variety of molecular compounds. One of the main challenges is the development of robust, reproducible and cost-effective SERS substrates. In this work, we study the SERS activity of 3D silver mirror-like micro-pyramid structures extended in the z-direction up to 3.7 μm (G0 type substrate) or 7.7 μm (G1 type substrate), prepared by Si-based microfabrication technologies, for trace detection of organophosphorous pesticides, using paraoxon-methyl as probe molecule. The average relative standard deviation (RSD) for the SERS intensity of the peak displayed at 1338 cm-1 recorded over a centimetre scale area of the substrate is below 13% for pesticide concentrations in the range 10-6 to 10-15 mol L-1. This data underlies the spatial uniformity of the SERS response provided by the microfabrication approach. According to finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, such remarkable feature is mainly due to the contribution on electromagnetic field enhancement of edge plasmon polaritons (EPPs), propagating along the pyramid edges where the pesticide molecules are preferentially adsorbed.

Abstract
Persistent and mobile water contaminants are rapidly developing into a focal point of environmental chemistry and chemical regulation. Their defining parameter that sets them apart from the majority of regularly monitored and regulated contaminants is their mobility in the aquatic environment, which is intrinsically tied to a high polarity. This high polarity, however, may have severe implications in the analytical process and thus the most polar of these mobile contaminants may not be covered by widely utilized trace-analytical methods, and thus, alternatives are required. In this review, we infer the physical and chemical properties of mobile water contaminants from a set of almost 1800 prioritized REACH chemicals and discuss the implications these substance properties may have on four integral steps of the analytical process: sampling and sample storage, sample pre-treatment, separation and detection. We discuss alternatives to widely utilized trace-analytical methods, examine their application range and limitations, highlight potential analytical techniques on the horizon and emphasize research areas we believe still offer the most room for further improvement. While we have a comprehensive set of analytical methods to cover a large portion of the known mobile chemicals, these methods are still only infrequently utilized. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Multiresidual pesticide determination in a biological sample is essential for an immediate decision and response related to various pesticide intoxications. A rapid and simultaneous analytical method for 260 pesticides in human urine was developed and validated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). High speed positive/negative switching electrospray ionization (ESI) mode was used, and scheduled multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was optimized. Three versions of scaled-down QuEChERS procedures were evaluated, and the procedure using non-buffer reagents (magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride) and excluding cleanup steps was selected for optimum pesticide extraction. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) in this methodology was 10 ng/mL for each target pesticide, and correlation coefficient (r2) values of calibration curves were ≥0.988 (linearity range; 10–250 ng/mL). In accuracy and precision tests, the relative error ranges were −18.4% to 19.5%, with relative standard deviation (RSD) 2.1%–19.9% at an LOQ level (10 ng/mL), and −14.7% to 14.9% (RSD; 0.6%–14.9%) at higher concentrations (50, 150, and 250 ng/mL). Recovery range was 54.2%–113.9% (RSD; 0.3%–20.0%), and the soft matrix effect (range; −20% to 20%) was observed in 75.4% of target pesticides. The established bioanalytical methods are sufficient for application to biomonitoring in agricultural exposures and applicable in the forensic and clinic.

Abstract
The extreme toxicity and ready accessibility of nerve agents and phosgene has caused an increase in the demand to develop effective systems for the detection of these substances. Among the traditional platforms utilized for this purpose, chemosensors including surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors, enzymes, carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, and chromophore based sensors have attracted increasing attention. In this review, we describe in a comprehensive manner recent progress that has been made on the development of chromophore-based chemosensors for detecting nerve agents (mimic) and phosgene. This review comprises two sections focusing on studies of the development of chemosensors for nerve agents (mimic) and phosgene. In each of the sections, the discussion follows a format which concentrates on different reaction sites/mechanisms involved in the sensing processes. Finally, chemosensors uncovered in these efforts are compared with those based on other sensing methods and challenges facing the design of more effective chemosensors for the detection of nerve agents (mimic) and phosgene are discussed.

Abstract
The safety issue of using carbamate pesticides in medicinal plants (MPs) has been a global concern and hence attracted attention of many researchers to develop analytical tools for trace pesticides detection. Derived from the fluorescence-based techniques, a rapid, convenient and efficient method for the detection of three carbamate pesticides, including carbofuran, aldicarb and methomyl has been developed by using core-shell QDs. By optimizing experimental parameters, the system demonstrated high detection sensitivities for the investigated carbamates, with the lowest detectable concentrations less than 0.05 μM. The molecular docking study indicated that the selected carbamate pesticides bound to the catalytic active site of acetylcholinesterase via π-π or H-π interactions, which also revealed the potential mechanism of the differences in inhibition strength among the three pesticides on AChE. Moreover, in order to investigate the applicability and reliability of the proposed method for the pesticide analysis in real sample with complex matrix, the matrix effects of eight common MPs have been systematically explored. These findings suggested that this technique was a simple, sensitive and reliable method for rapid determination of carbamate pesticides in real samples, especially those with complex matrices like MPs, vegetables, fruits, and other agricultural crops.

Abstract
We developed a new magnetic nanoparticle sandwich-like immunoassay using protein cage nanoparticles (PCN) for signal amplification together with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) for the quantification of an organophosphorylated acetylcholinesterase adduct (OP-AChE), the biomarker of exposure to organophosphate pesticides (OPs) and nerve agents. OP-AChE adducts were firstly captured by titanium dioxide coated magnetic nanoparticles (TiO2-MNPs) from the sample matrixes through metal chelation with phospho-moieties, and then selectively recognized by anti-AChE antibody labeled on PCN which was packed with lead phosphate in its cavity (PCN-anti-AChE). The sandwich-like immunoreaction was performed among TiO2-MNPs, OP-AChE and PCN-anti-AChE to form a TiO2-MNP/OP-AChE/PCN-anti-AChE immunocomplex. The complex could be easily isolated from the sample solution with the help of magnet, and the released lead ions from PCN were detected by GFAAS for the quantification of OP-AChE. Greatly enhanced sensitivity was achieved because PCN increased the amount of metal ions in the cavity of each apoferritin. The proposed immunoassay yielded a linear response over a broad range of OP-AChE concentrations from 0.01 nM to 2 nM, with a detection limit of 2 pM, which has enough sensitivity for monitoring of low-dose exposure to OPs. This new method showed an acceptable stability and reproducibility and was validated with OP-AChE spiked human plasma.

Abstract
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are very different chemical compounds that play essential roles in plant development and the regulation of physiological processes. They exert their functions by a mechanism called cross-talk (involving either synergistic or antagonistic actions) thus; it is for great interest to study as many PGRs as possible to obtain accurate information about plant status. Much effort has been applied to develop methods capable of analyze large numbers of these compounds but frequently excluding some chemical families or important PGRs within each family. In addition, most of the methods are specially designed for matrices easy to work with. Therefore, we wanted to develop a method which achieved the requirements lacking in the literature and also being fast and reliable. Here we present a simple, fast and robust method for the extraction and quantification of 20 different PGRs using UHPLC-MS/MS optimized in complex matrices.

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, chromatographic techniques with mass spectrometric detection have been increasingly used to monitor the rapidly expanded list of regulated flavour and fragrance ingredients. This trend entails a need for good quantification practices suitable for complex media, especially for multi-analytes. In this article, we present experimental precautions needed to perform the analyses and ways to process the data according to the most recent approaches. This notably includes the identification of analytes during their quantification and method validation, when applied to real matrices, based on accuracy profiles. A brief survey of application studies based on such practices is given.This article is part of the themed issue 'Quantitative mass spectrometry'.

Abstract
An electrochemical aptasensor based on chitosan-iron oxide nanocomposite (CHIT-IO) film deposited on fluorine tin Oxide (FTO) was developed for the detection of malathion. Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method and characterized by Transmission electron microscopy and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The biotinylated DNA aptamer sequence specific to the malathion was immobilized onto the iron oxide doped-chitosan/FTO electrode by using streptavidin as linking molecule. Various characterization studies like Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Electrochemical studies were performed to attest the successful fabrication of bioelectrodes. Experimental parameters like aptamer concentration, response time, stability of electrode and reusability studies were optimized. Aptamer immobilized chitosan-iron oxide nanocomposite (APT/SA/CHIT-IO/FTO) bioelectrodes exhibited LOD of about 0.001 ng/mL within 15 min and spike-in studies revealed about 80-92% recovery of malathion from the lettuce leaves and soil sample.

Abstract
Little research has been conducted on the occurrence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the marine environment despite being increasingly impacted by these contaminants. This article reviews data on the occurrence of PPCPs in seawater, sediment, and organisms in the marine environment. Data pertaining to 196 pharmaceuticals and 37 personal care products reported from more than 50 marine sites are analyzed while taking sampling strategies and analytical methods into account. Particular attention is focused on the most frequently detected substances at highest concentrations. A snapshot of the most impacted marine sites is provided by comparing the highest concentrations reported for quantified substances. The present review reveals that: (i) PPCPs are widespread in seawater, particularly at sites impacted by anthropogenic activities, and (ii) the most frequently investigated and detected molecules in seawater and sediments are antibiotics, such as erythromycin. Moreover, this review points out other PPCPs of concern, such as ultraviolet filters, and underlines the scarcity of data on those substances despite recent evidence on their occurrence in marine organisms. The exposure of marine organisms in regard to these insufficient data is discussed.
