CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 310:136868. [PMID: 36265709 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Widespread use of the new generation neonicotinoids (NQs) results in their constant inflow to water bodies. Both their persistence in waters and mechanism of action similar to older compounds already banned in the EU raise concerns about potential ecotoxicological effects. Information about presence of the new NQs in the aquatic environment is still sparse, and the consequences for aquatic organisms remain mostly unknown, due to the lack of sensitive and selective analytical tools. Therefore, a method utilizing solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-MS/MS) has been developed and optimized, enabling the monitoring of EU-approved NQs: acetamiprid (ACT), sulfoxaflor (SFX) and flupyradifurone (FLU), and common NQ metabolite 6-chloronicotinoic acid (6-CNA) in surface waters. To optimize their extraction from natural water samples, the response surface methodology (RSM) was used. An increase in pH value favored higher absolute recoveries (AR) of ACT, SFX and FLU, while the opposite effect was observed for 6-CNA. Increasing water sample volume had adverse effect on the extraction of all compounds. The optimal conditions for simultaneous extraction of all compounds included the use of Oasis HLB sorbent, 200 mL of a water sample at pH of 4.6, and application of 0.3% HCOOH in acetonitrile as an eluent, allowing to obtain AR values above 80% in most cases. Further increase in pH value had positive impact on extraction effectiveness of ACT, SFX and FLU. The method was subjected to full matrix-matched validation and was proven to be fully reliable for the analysis of ACT, SFX and FLU, while the successful isolation of 6-CNA depends on the matrix composition. Finally, the method was applied to the analysis of NQs in surface water samples, proving its sensitivity and selectivity. It can be easily adapted as a tool for trace analysis of NQs and for NQ-associated risk assessment in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Neonicotinoids are the most widely used pesticides worldwide due to their high toxicity to invertebrates. However, these compounds also increase the probability of environmental contamination. Cycloxaprid (CYC) is a promising neonicotinoid due to its insecticidal effectiveness and low cross resistance, but little is known about its fate in soils. Using radioisotope tracing techniques, the fate of 14C-labeled CYC enantiomers and racemic mixtures in aerobic soil was investigated in this research. After 100 d of incubation, the extractable residue (ER) of CYC decreased from 89.6% to 36.4% in red clay soil, from 46.1% to 10.1% in yellow loam soil, and from 93.2% to 12.2% in coastal saline soil. The radioactivity was substantially lower in methanol than in the other two solvents, but the distribution of CYC ER in various solvents across the three soils dramatically differed. The fraction of radioactive CYC that diffused into bound residue (BR) in the three soils increased over time to 56.8-83.0%. The variability in BR was influenced by soil properties such as organic matter concentration, pH, and residual microbial activity. Among the soils, yellow loam soil had the greatest tendency (53.0-83.0%) to form BR, while red clay soil showed the lowest capacity (7.5-61.2%). Cumulative mineralization (MI) to 14CO2 accounted for 0.12-0.23%, 6.69-7.31% and 14.82-20.06% in acidic soil, neutral soil and alkaline soil, respectively, which suggests that the environmental fate of chiral pesticides may be influenced by soil pH. No stereoselective behavior was detected in this study. These findings provide a framework to assess the environmental impact and ecological safety of CYC application.

Abstract
Sulfoxaflor is a fourth-generation neonicotinoid insecticide mainly used to control sap-feeding pests. In this study, four stereoisomers of sulfoxaflor were separated using HPLC, and the absolute configurations of three stereoisomers were identified via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. First, the stability and isomerization of the four enantiomers and rac-sulfoxaflor in water and seven organic solvents were investigated. All enantiomers were extremely unstable in water with isomerization rates above 20%. The racemate did not isomerize in any of the solutions and was stable in water (degradation rate less than 7%). Therefore, we studied the acute toxicity, enantioselective behavior, and enzymatic activities of rac-sulfoxaflor in zebrafish. The bioaccumulation experiment demonstrated that the bioconcentration of sulfoxaflor in zebrafish was enantioselective, and the four enantiomers accumulated in zebrafish in the order (+)-2S,3S-sulfoxaflor > (-)-2R,3R-sulfoxaflor > (+)-2R,3S-sulfoxaflor > (-)-2S,3R-sulfoxaflor. The effect of rac-sulfoxaflor on the enzymatic activities of zebrafish showed that superoxide dismutase and glutathione-S-transferase activities and malondialdehyde content were significantly enhanced as compared to those in control, whereas acetylcholinesterase was significantly reduced in the sulfoxaflor exposure treatment (p < 0.05), indicating that sulfoxaflor caused oxidative lesions and induced enzymatic activity in zebrafish. This study provides important information on the enantioselective behavior and toxic effects of sulfoxaflor, which can help assess the potential ecological risk of chiral pesticides to aquatic organisms.

Abstract
Traditional evaluation of chiral pesticides can lead to inaccurate results, as their enantiomers may show different properties. Penconazole, a chiral triazole fungicide with two enantiomers, is widely applied to protect against phytopathogens. In this study, its absolute configuration, bioactivity, ecotoxicity, and stereoselective degradation were investigated at the enantiomeric level in detail. The absolute configuration of the two enantiomers (R-(+)-penconazole and S-(-)-penconazole) was first confirmed by electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and their enantioseparation method was developed and optimized using UPLC-MS/MS. S-(-)-penconazole showed high bioactivity, as its fungicidal activity against four target phytopathogens (Alternaria alternate f. sp. mali, Botryosphaeria berengeriana f. sp. piricola, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Fusarium oxysporum) was 1.8-4.4 times higher than that of R-(+)-penconazole. The results of an acute toxicity test showed that the LC50 values of S-(-)-penconazole against Daphnia magna were 32.5 times higher than those of R-(+)-penconazole at 24 h during the test period. Stereoselective degradation behaviors were found in nonbagging and bagging Fuji apples collected from three major apple-producing regions in China, with half-lives of 23.5-51.6 d (nonbagging treatment) and 23.0-57.5 d (bagging treatment) for R-(+)-penconazole and 41.1-60.9 d (nonbagging treatment) and 52.5-91.2 d (bagging treatment) for S-(+)-penconazole, respectively. This study provided new insights into the bioactivity, ecotoxicity, and stereoselective degradation of penconazole enantiomers. The above results also emphasized the importance of risk assessments of chiral pesticides at the enantiomeric level.

Abstract
Chiral pesticides with S atoms as asymmetric centers are gaining great importance in the search for new pesticides with new modes of action. As for the rest of the chiral pesticides, the determination of the stereoisomers separately has become crucial in the environmental risks assessment of these pesticides. Therefore, the development of suitable extraction and clean-up methods as well as efficient stereoselective analytical techniques for stereoisomers determination in environmental samples is essential. Currently, liquid/solid phase extraction, microextraction, and QuEChERS-based methods are most commonly used to obtain chiral pesticides from environmental samples. Gas, liquid, and supercritical fluid chromatography together with capillary electrophoresis techniques are the most important for the determination of the stereoisomers of chiral pesticides containing S atoms in its structure. In this study, all these techniques are briefly reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed

Abstract
A fast, effective, and environmental-friendly method was developed for enantioseparation and analysis of mefentrifluconazole in vegetables based on supercritical fluid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The enantioselective behaviors of mefentrifluconazole enantiomers in tomato, cucumber, and pepper in the greenhouse, and pickled cucumber and pepper during processing were investigated. Mefentrifluconazole enantiomers could obtain baseline separation within 2 min. The average recoveries of all matrices ranged from 78.4% to 119.0%, with relative standard deviations less than 16.8% for two enantiomers. S-(+)-mefentrifluconazole was preferentially degraded in pepper, while there was no enantioselectivity in tomato and cucumber under field conditions. During processing, S-(+)-mefentrifluconazole was reduced preferentially than R-(-)-mefentrifluconazole in pickled cucumber and cucumber brine. Inversely, R-(-)-mefentrifluconazole degraded faster than S-(+)-mefentrifluconazole in pepper brine. But, no obvious enantioselectivity was observed in pickled pepper. The result of this study could contribute to a more accurate dietary risk assessment of mefentrifluconazole in vegetables and processed products.

Abstract
Since the invasion of the fall armyworm moth (Spodoptera frugiperda) in China in January 2019, damage to maize crops has gradually intensified, and chemical control has become the main control measure. This study aimed to examine methods of effective pest control while monitoring the environmental impact of pesticide use. The effectiveness of S. frugiperda pest control by foliar spraying and root irrigation of maize plants with acephate was determined, and the absorption, distribution, and dissipation of acephate and methamidophos by maize were studied. Field trials showed that acephate treatment at 6000 g a.i. ha-1 was the most effective for controlling S. frugiperda. Acephate and methamidophos were absorbed from the roots, transported upward, and concentrated in the leaves, particularly new leaves. The terminal residues of acephate and methamidophos in maize grains were below detectable levels at 60 days after treatment. The results demonstrate that acephate treatment via root irrigation can more effectively control the infestation of S. frugiperda in maize than acephate treatment via foliar spraying. The translocation and distribution of acephate and methamidophos by root irrigation were more uniform, and the holding efficiency was higher than those in foliar spraying, suggesting an extended period of control efficacy. This pest control method could be utilized to reduce pesticide residues while safely and efficiently controlling S. frugiperda infestation.

Abstract
An Electrokinetic Chromatography method was developed for the stereoselective analysis of sulfoxaflor, a novel sulfoximine agrochemical with two chiral centers. A screening with fourteen negatively charged CDs was performed and Succinyl-β-CD (Succ-β-CD) was selected. A 15 mM concentration of this CD in a 100 mM borate buffer (pH 9.0), using an applied voltage of 20 kV and a temperature of 15 °C made possible the baseline separation of the four stereoisomers of sulfoxaflor in 13.8 min. The evaluation of the linearity, accuracy, precision, LODs and LOQs of the method developed showed its performance to be applied to the analysis of commercial agrochemical formulations, the evaluation of the stability of sulfoxaflor stereoisomers under biotic and abiotic conditions, and to predict, for the first time, sulfoxaflor toxicity (using real concentrations instead of nominal concentrations), on two non-target aquatic organisms, the freshwater plant, Spirodela polyrhiza, and the marine bacterium, Vibrio fischeri.

Abstract
In this study, the stereoselective bioactivity, acute toxicity, and environmental fate for famoxadone enantiomers were reported for the first time. Five representative pathogens (e.g., Alternaria solani) were used to investigate enantioselective activity, and three non-target organisms (e.g., Selenastrum bibraianum) were used to evaluate acute toxicity. S-Famoxadone was 3.00-6.59 times more effective than R-famoxadone. R-Famoxadone also showed 1.80-6.40 times more toxicity than S-famoxadone toward S. bibraianum and Daphnia magna. The toxicity of R-famoxadone was 100 times more toxic than S-famoxadone toward Danio rerio. Under aerobic conditions, the half-life (t1/2) for famoxadone enantiomer degradation was 46.2-126 days in different soils and the enantiomeric fraction (EF) ranged from 0.435 to 0.470 after 120 days. R-Famoxadone preferentially degraded in three soils, resulting in an enrichment of S-famoxadone. Under anaerobic conditions, t1/2 of famoxadone enantiomers was 62.4-147 days in different soils and the EF ranged from 0.489 to 0.495, indicating that famoxadone enantiomers were not enantioselective. This study will be useful for the environmental and health risk assessments for famoxadone enantiomers.

Abstract
The stereoisomer behavior of sulfoxaflor was investigated by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) during raw Puer tea, ripen Puer tea, and sun-dry Puer tea processing. The persistence of sulfoxaflor stereoisomers was consistently prolonged with different Puer tea processing from sun-dry Puer tea, ripen Puer tea to raw Puer tea with t 1/2 4.0-4.2 hr (sun-dry Puer tea) to 6.21-7.04 months (raw Puer tea). Three fermentation temperature in ripen Puer tea shown that the sulfoxaflor residue was easy to degrade under low fermentation temperature (37°C). It implied that enzyme catalysis may play an important role in degradation of sulfoxaflor. The no-enantioselective dissipation of sulfoxaflor was found in different Puer tea processing.

Spatial and temporal distribution, degradation, and metabolism of three neonicotinoid insecticides on different parts, especially pests' target feeding parts of apple tree. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2020; 76:2190-2197.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonicotinoid insecticides (NIs) have been recently banned in some countries because of increased pest resistance and deleterious risks to non-target organisms. Recent studies considered all parts of crops as a whole part in plant protection. However, there are few reports focused on the distribution and metabolic trends of NIs on target feeding sites of different pests in apple orchards. RESULTS The spatial and temporal distribution, absorption, degradation, and metabolism of three NIs, imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and thiamethoxam, on different parts of apple trees were studied under foliar spray and root irrigation treatments. In the spray treatment, the initial average concentration ratios (TCRs) were 31.6% for lower shoots, 23.3% for upper leaves, 23.2% for upper shoots, 21.0% for lower leaves, and 0.5% and 0.4% for upper and lower fruits, respectively. The average half-lives of the three NIs were 2.9 days for shoots, 7.4 days for leaves, and 10.8 days for fruits. The degradation rate of shoots was 2.5 times that of leaves, and 3.6 times that of fruits. Imidacloprid olefin and N-methyl acetamiprid were two of the main metabolites. In the root treatment, both roots and soils had high TCRs during the whole sampling period. Only imidacloprid was transmitted to above-ground parts of the plants, with TCRs of 0.38-50.94%. CONCLUSION This study found significant differences in spatial and temporal distribution, degradation, metabolism, and trends of NIs on different pest target sites of apple trees. The data obtained may help promote scientific control of target pests and evaluation of safety for non-target species in orchards. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Pyriproxyfen (PYR) is a type of aromatic juvenile hormone analog and a hygienic insecticide used in agriculture to control insect species. Therefore, assessing the metabolic behavior and toxic effects of PYR in mammals is the best means of evaluating its risks to human health. Previous studies have reported conflicting results regarding the toxicity risks of PYR and its metabolites in rat hepatocytes. We used ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to perform a chiral analysis of PYR and its metabolites investigating the enantioselective metabolism of PYR in rat liver microsomes. Our results concluded that the recoveries of PYR, metabolites A and B ranged from 81.13%-111.54 %, with RSD values of 0.01 %-6.52 %. The method limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) for PYR, metabolites A and B were in accordance with the analysis requirements. Previous studies have demonstrated the enantioselective metabolism of PYR and the generation of metabolites. Measurements of cell proliferation toxicity to rat hepatocytes, apoptosis and DNA damage induced by PYR and its metabolites in rat hepatocytes indicated that the metabolites reflected higher toxicity potential than PYR in rat hepatocytes. More studies about the molecular mechanism of PYR-induced toxicity are urgently needed in future work.

Abstract
An environmentally-friendly and fast analytical method for the stereoselective determination of etoxazole was developed and then applied to estimate stereoselective bioaccumulation and elimination in zebrafish using SFC-MS/MS. Optimal enantioseparation conditions were determined using a Chiralpak IG-3 column and CO2/MeOH mobile phase (80/20, v/v), at 3.0 mL/min within 1 min, 30°Me and 18 MPa. A modified QuEChERS method was developed for zebrafish sample pretreatment, and mean recoveries were 88.43-110.12% with relative standard deviations ranging from 0.32 to 5.34%. The enantioselectives of etoxazole enantiomers in zebrafish during uptake and depuration phases were evaluated. Significant enantioselective bioaccumulation was observed, with preferential accumulation of (-)-R-etoxazole compared to its antipode, during uptake at both low and high exposure concentrations. The toxic effects of etoxazole on zebrafish were further explored, and activities of antioxidant enzymes were determined in liver of zebrafish. Significant changes were observed in the SOD and GST activities and in the MDA levels, which indicated the occurrence of oxidative stress in liver of zebrafish. The toxic effects exhibited time- and dose-dependent properties. These results can facilitate the accurate risk evaluation of etoxazole and provide basic knowledge for further study of biotoxicity mechanisms.

The Toxic Effects of Sulfoxaflor Induced in Earthworms ( Eisenia fetida) under Effective Concentrations. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17051740. [PMID: 32155971 PMCID: PMC7084856 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17051740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2020] [Revised: 02/29/2020] [Accepted: 03/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Sulfoxaflor is a new kind of neonicotinoid insecticide that is used to control sap-feeding insect pests. In this study, a hazard assessment of sulfoxaflor on soil invertebrate earthworms was performed under effective concentrations. The results showed that different exposure times and doses had significant influence on the toxicity of sulfoxaflor. Sulfoxaflor degraded quickly in artificial soil with a degradation rate of 0.002–0.017 mg/(kg·d) and a half-life of 12.0–15.4 d. At 0.5 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg, the ·OH− content, antioxidant enzyme activeities, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content and 8-OHdG content had significant differences compared to those in the control group. On the 56th day, significant differences were only observed in the Glutathione S-transferase enzyme (GST) activity and 8-OHdG content at 1.0 mg/kg compared to those in the control group due to the degradation of sulfoxaflor. This indicated that the risk of sulfoxaflor to earthworms was reduced because it was easily degraded in soil. However, because sulfoxaflor is a super toxic pollutant to earthworms, high concentrations of sulfoxaflor should not be released into the soil environment.

Abstract
The uptake, distribution, metabolism, and degradation of three neonicotinoid insecticides (NIs)-imidacloprid (IMI), acetamiprid (ACE), and thiamethoxam (THI) in different parts of cotton plants were investigated under field conditions. Insecticides were either applied by foliar spraying or root irrigation. Foliar application resulted in high tissue concentration (average tissue concentration ratio, TCR: 46.78-68.61% for leaves and 12.2-31.40% for flowers). The flowers showed high NI residual. The metabolism and trends of NIs in different parts of cotton were reported here for the first time. Metabolites, toxic to bees, were detected in the flowers. The translocation factor was around 0.004 for the spray treatment and 0.2-0.7 for the root irrigation treatment. The average root concentration factors of IMI, ACE, and THI were 0.838, 8.027, and 1.014, respectively, indicating that the three NIs can be transported from the soil to the plant. The high concentrations of NIs and their metabolites in flowers indicate exposure risk to pollinators, such as bees.

Abstract
Chiral pesticides are often produced and applied without distinguishing the difference of enantiomers, which sometimes leads to overuse and inaccurate risk assessment. Imazalil is a widely used chiral fungicide; its parent and major metabolite R14821 (imazalil-M) are usually detected in environmental and plant samples. The enantioselective bioactivity of imazalil enantiomers to seven typical pathogens (e.g., Fulvia fulva) was explored. S-(+)-Imazalil showed 3.00-6.59 times higher bioactivity than its antipode for selected pathogens. Molecular docking partly explained the mechanism of enantioselectivity in bioactivity. S-(+)-Imazalil had a stronger hydrophobic interaction and lower energy conformation with binding sites than R-(-)-imazalil. The acute toxicity of S-(+)-imazalil was 1.23-fold and 2.25-fold more than R-(-)-imazalil to P. subcapitata and D. magna, respectively. And, S-(+)-imazalil-M had 2.21-fold and 1.70-fold higher toxicity than R-(-)-imazalil-M to P. subcapitata and D. magna, respectively. However, R-(-)-imazalil was 1.21 times more toxic than S-(+)-imazalil to D. rerio. The enantioselective dissipation of imazalil and imazalil-M was explored under greenhouse conditions. High-effective S-(+)-imazalil preferentially enriched in leaf and fruit of tomato and cucumber, and no enantioselective degradation was found in soil. Imazalil-M enantiomers formed in cucumber, leaf of cucumber, and tomato, and the EF values fluctuated between 0.332 and 0.499. The results could provide information for more accurate assessment of imazalil; they implicated that using S-(+)-imazalil could reduce pesticide input and the risk to D. rerio.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Famoxadone is a pesticide that is used to control fungal diseases and its dissipation in vegetables should be monitored. For that purpose, liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry has been used. RESULTS The dissipation of famoxadone has been monitored in cucumber, cherry tomato and courgette under greenhouse conditions at different doses (single and double), using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to Orbitrap mass spectrometry (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany). The concentration of famoxadone increased slightly just after the application of the commercial product and then decreased. The half-lives (DT50 ) of famoxadone are different for each matrix, ranging from 2 days (courgette single dose) to 10 days (cucumber double dose). The main metabolites, 4-phenoxybenzoic acid and 1-acetyl-2-phenylhydrazine, were not detected in vegetable samples. Other metabolites described by the European Food and Safety Authority, such as IN-JS940 [(2RS)-2-hydroxy-2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)propanoic acid], IN-KF015 [(5RS)-5-methyl-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione] and IN-MN467 [(5RS)-5-methyl-3-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione], were detected in the three matrices. Untargeted analysis allowed for the putative elucidation of a new metabolite of famoxadone in cucumber (up to 290 μg kg-1 ) and cherry tomato (up to 900 μg kg-1 ) samples. CONCLUSION The dissipation of famoxadone has been investigated in three vegetables: tomato, cucumber and courgette. The persistence of famoxadone was low in the three matrices (DT50 less than 10 days). Metabolites of famoxadone were monitored, detecting IN-JS940, IN-MN467 and IN-KF015, and the putative elucidation of a new metabolite of famoxadone was performed by applying software tools. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Difenoconazole is a universal chiral fungicide which is widely used in apples. Recently, it is still employed as racemic mixtures without distinction of the enantiomers, which may lead to an incomplete risk assessment. Here, we analyzed the stereoselective degradation of difenoconazole in apple fruits and open-field soil using an HPLC-UV system. Different trends were established in various apple varieties under identical environmental conditions. No significant differences were found in its enantioselectivity of the degradation processes applied in the field soil of an apple orchard. However, preferential dissipation of (2R,4R)-difenoconazole and (2R,4S)-difenoconazole was observed in Hanfu and Fuji apples, resulting in the enrichment of stereoisomers of (2S,4S)-difenoconazole and (2S,4R)-difenoconazole. Meanwhile, no significant enantioselectivity was detected in Huahong apples. The present study will provide additional information that contributes to the comprehensive evaluation of the risks posed by the application of chiral difenoconazole in agricultural production practices.

Abstract
4-(methylintrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) are the most prevalent and toxic tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). Due to their carcinogenicity, knowledge of the composition of NNK and NNN in tobacco is necessary. Herein, a sensitive and rapid method, which employs autoclave extraction-supercritical fluid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS), has been developed for the analysis of NNK and NNN in tobacco. Both water-soluble and matrix-bound NNK and NNN were extracted with 100 mM ammonium acetate in an autoclave (130 °C, 4 h), and the aqueous extract was subjected to solvent replacement prior to SFC-MS/MS analysis. NNK and NNN were effectively separated within 5 min by using supercritical CO2 as the main mobile phase coupled with a co-solvent of methanol. Excellent linearity was obtained with coefficients of determination (R2) greater than 0.9997 in the range of 1-160 ng/mL and 5-800 ng/mL for NNK and NNN, respectively. The recoveries were in the range of 92.5-110.0% at different spiked levels of real samples. 12 tobacco samples which include 3 typical tobacco varieties of burley, flue-cured, and oriental tobaccos had been analyzed, and the fraction of matrix-bound NNK was determined as well. In addition, a comparison between the proposed SFC-MS/MS method and a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) internal standard method was conducted. Both techniques exhibit comparable analysis results, but peak splitting of NNN was observed by LC-MSMS due to the existence of E/Z isomers, while SFC-MS/MS offers great improvement through elution condition optimization, demonstrating the applicability of SFC-MS/MS as an alternative tool for NNK and NNN analysis.

Abstract
This is the first systemic assessment of the stereoselectivity of etoxazole enantiomers. Etoxazole's stereoselective bioactivity was assessed against target organisms ( Tetranychus urticae eggs and Tetranychus cinnabarinus eggs), and its acute toxicity was assessed toward nontarget aquatic organisms ( Daphnia magna and Danio rerio). Additionally, stereoselective elimination was investigated in three species of fruits (grape and strawberry grown in a greenhouse and apple grown in an open field) and in field soil. The ovicidal activity of (+)-( S)-etoxazole against Tetranychus urticae and Tetranychus cinnabarinus eggs was about 16 and 24 times higher, respectively, than that of (-)-( R)-etoxazole. Inconsistent order of etoxazole isomer toxicity was found toward different aquatic organisms: (+)-( S)-etoxazole showed nearly 8.7 times higher acute toxicity than (-)-( R)-etoxazole toward Daphnia magna, whereas (-)-( R)-etoxazole was ∼4.5 times more toxic to Danio rerio than (+)-( S)-etoxazole. Stereoselective degradation of etoxazole enantiomers showed significant variation in various fruits and field soil. The (+)-( S)-etoxazole was preferentially dissipated in grape and strawberry fruits grown under greenhouse condition, whereas (-)-( R)-etoxazole degraded faster than its antipode in apple fruits and soils under open-field condition. Overall, the stereoselectivity of etoxazole enantiomers should be fully considered in comprehensive environmental health risk in future work.

Abstract
We developed and validated a liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analytical method for quantitatively measuring pesticide concentrations in small-body avian tissue samples using homogenized 1-2-d-old chicken carcasses as the test matrix. We quantified the following key insecticides: sulfoxaflor (sulfoximine class) and the neonicotinoids dinotefuran, nitenpyram, thiamethoxam, acetamiprid, thiacloprid, clothianidin, and imidacloprid. We used fortified chick carcass samples to validate method accuracy (80-125% recoveries), precision (<20% relative standard deviation), and sensitivity (≤1.2 ppb) for these targeted analytes. This method also uses full-scan, high-resolution MS to screen for the presence of a wide variety of other xenobiotics in bird carcasses. The utility of our screening process was demonstrated by the detection of carbaryl in some samples. This sensitive LC-HRMS analytical method for insecticide detection in a matrix of homogenized carcass is ideal for evaluating small birds for insecticide exposure. This novel whole-carcass method may allow for research studies of small-bodied, free-ranging avian species, and could provide insight regarding their exposure to multiple classes of environmental contaminants.

Abstract
Ultra-performance convergence chromatography is an environmentally-friendly analytical method that uses dramatically reduced amounts of organic solvents. In addition, a robust and highly sensitive chiral separation method was developed for the novel chiral acaricide cyflumetofen by using ultra-performance convergence chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, which shows that stereoisomer recoveries determined for various apple parts ranged from 78.3% to 119.9%, with the relative standard deviations being lower than 14.0%. The half-lives of (−)-cyflumetofen and (+)-cyflumetofen obtained under 5-fold applied dosage equal to 22.13 and 22.23 days, respectively. For 1.5-fold applied dosage, the respective values were determined as 22.42 and 23.64 days, i.e., the degradation of (−)-cyflumetofen was insignificantly favored over that of its enantiomer. Importantly, cyflumetofen was unevenly distributed in apples, with its relative contents in apple peel, peduncle, and pomace equal to 50%, 22%, and 16%, respectively. The proposed method can be used to efficiently separate and quantify chiral pesticide with advantages of a shorter analysis time, greater sensitivity, and better environmental compatibility. Additionally, the consumption of apples with residue of cyflumetofen did not pose a health risk to the population if the cyflumetofen applied under satisfactory agricultural practices after the long-term dietary risk assessment.

Abstract
Nornicotine, an alkaloid constituent of tobacco, is a precursor to the carcinogen N-nitrosonornicotine that is produced during the curing and processing of tobacco. Accumulating evidence reveals that nornicotine enantiomers have different neurochemical and behavioral effects. In the present study, an accurate and rapid method was developed for the enantioseparation of (R)-(+)-nornicotine and (S)-(-)-nornicotine enantiomers in tobacco by ultra-performance convergence chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Chromatographic conditions were investigated to achieve the optimal resolution of two enantiomers. Results indicated that (R)-(+)-nornicotine and (S)-(-)-nornicotine could be separated within 5 min when ammonium hydroxide was added into the cosolvent, and the best resolution (Rs = 4.76) was achieved on a immobilized cellulose tris-(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase. The proposed method was validated and was finally applied to analyze the compositions of (R)-(+)-nornicotine and (S)-(-)-nornicotine in three typical types of tobaccos (flue-cured, burley, and oriental). It was found that, enantiomer fraction of nornicotine (the proportion of (S)-(-)-nornicotine in the nornicotine pool) in burley tobacco samples was relatively high and constant compared with flue-cured and oriental tobaccos. The effective and rapid enantioseparation of nornicotine may help the understanding of alkaloid metabolites in different tobacco varieties and may also benefit pharmacological studies of alkaloid enantiomers.

Abstract
An analytical method has been developed to quantify the residual levels of sulfoxaflor and its metabolites (X11719474 and X11721061) in/on cultivated lettuce grown under greenhouse conditions. Samples were extracted and purified using a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe 'QuEChERS' method (original version) following systematic method optimization and were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Good linearity with coefficient of determination ≥0.9930 was obtained and the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were in the ranges of 0.003-0.006 and 0.01-0.02 mg/kg, respectively. The recovery rates of both the parent compound and its metabolites (fortified at 10 and 50× the LOQ) estimated from six replicates ranged between 81.9 and 115.5% with a relative standard deviation <12%. The validated method was applied to field-incurred samples (collected over 7 days) sprayed once or twice with a water-dispersible granule formulation. Notably, a substantial reduction in rate was observed after 3 days and the half-life was short, only 1.5 days. The developed method is simple and versatile and can be used for various leafy vegetables.

Abstract
Imazalil is a widely used systemic chiral fungicide that is still being employed as a racemic mixture without distinguishing the difference between enantiomers, which often leads to its inaccurate risk assessment. In this study, a robust and highly sensitive chiral separation method was developed for imazalil enantiomers by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and was further applied to study the degradation dynamics of imazalil enantiomers in apples and field soils at three sites in China. The baseline enantioseparation for imazalil was achieved within 3.5 min on a Lux Cellulose-2 (CCMPC) column with acetonitrile (ACN)/water (65:35, v/v) with a mobile phase at 0.5 mL/min flow rate and a column temperature of 20 °C. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for each enantiomer was <0.60 μg/kg, with a baseline resolution of approximately 1.75. The research showed that (S)-(+)-imazalil degraded more rapidly than (R)-(-)-imazalil in Gala apples, whereas (R)-(-)-imazalil preferentially degraded in Golden Delicious apples. No significant enantioselectivity was observed in OBIR-2T-47 apples and field soils from the three sites. Results of this study provide useful references for risk assessment and the rational use of imazalil in further agricultural produce practice.

Abstract
Various new chiral pesticides have been registered and used in crop yields. However, few studies have focused on the environmental behavior of such new registered chiral compounds on the stereoisomer level. In this study, an effective and sensitive chiral analytical method was first developed to detect pyrisoxazole stereoisomers and then further applied to investigate the stereoselective dissipation in vegetables and soil using supercritical fluid chromatography/tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Optimal separation condition was achieved with IA column using CO2/MeOH (75:25) as mobile phase at 2.0 mL/min in 5 min, 35 °C and 2400 psi. The average recoveries in all of the matrices at four spiking levels ranged from 84.0% to 105.6%. Significant stereoselective dissipation was observed in cucumber and tomato under both application modes. (-) Pyrisoxazole A and (-) pyrisoxazole B were preferentially degraded in cucumber under foliar spraying mode. In contrast, (+) pyrisoxazole A and (-) pyrisoxazole B were preferentially degraded in cucumber under soil irrigation mode. (-) Pyrisoxazole A and (-) pyrisoxazole B were degraded faster than their antipodes in tomato under both application modes. However, no significant stereoselectivity was observed in soil. The results of this study could help facilitate more accurate risk assessments of pyrisoxazole.

Abstract
Stereoselectivity is of vital importance in our environment and needs to be taken into account for comprehensive risk assessment and regulatory decisions of chiral neonicotinoid sulfoxaflor. However, little is known about the dissipation of sulfoxaflor stereoisomers with respect to stereoselectivity in plants under greenhouse cultivation. To bridge the knowledge gap, the current study was initiated to investigate the stereoselective degradation of sulfoxaflor in solar greenhouse cucumber and tomato from foliage and root uptake pathways. The stereoselective dissipation of sulfoxaflor was not statistically different between enantiomer pairs from foliage and root pathways of vegetables (P < 0.05). The persistence of sulfoxaflor stereoisomers was consistently prolonged under the foliage uptake pathway (t1/2, 3.38-14.09 days) compared to the root uptake pathway (t1/2, 2.65-5.07 days) in both vegetable fruits. Nevertheless, the concentrations of (+)-sulfoxaflor A and (-)-sulfoxaflor B were both slightly higher than that of their antipode. The tiny difference should be emphasized because it might be magnified to a significant difference by the high-potential bioaccumulation of sulfoxaflor in the food chain.

Enantioselective separation and pharmacokinetic dissipation of cyflumetofen in field soil by ultra-performance convergence chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. J Sep Sci 2016; 39:1363-70.

Abstract
Little data on the enantioselective separation of cyflumetofen exists, despite the fact that such data are essential to the assessment of the fate and potential toxic effects of cyflumetofen enantiomers. To address this issue, a simple and sensitive method for the enantioselective determination of cyflumetofen enantiomers in soil has been established using ultra performance convergence chromatography tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The effects of the chiral stationary phases, mobile phase, auto backpressure regulator pressure, column temperature, flow rate of the mobile phase, and compensation pump solvent were evaluated. The proposed method was applied to the study of the pharmacokinetic dissipation of cyflumetofen stereoisomers in soil under greenhouse conditions. The estimated half-life of cyflumetofen isomers ranged from 12.2 to 13.6 days, and statistically significant enantioselective degradation was observed. This study not only demonstrates that there is an efficient and sensitive method for cyflumetofen enantioseparation, but also provides the first experimental evidence of the pharmacokinetic dissipation of cyflumetofen stereoisomers in the environment.

Response surface methodology for the enantioseparation of dinotefuran and its chiral metabolite in bee products and environmental samples by supercritical fluid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2015; 1410:181-9. [PMID: 26243706 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2015.07.067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2015] [Revised: 07/14/2015] [Accepted: 07/15/2015] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Tracing the enantiomers of dinotefuran and its metabolite in bee products and relevant environmental matrices is vital because of the high toxicity of their racemates to bees. In this study, a statistical optimization strategy using three-dimensional response surface methodology for the enantioseparation of dinotefuran and its metabolite UF was developed by a novel supercritical fluid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS) technique. After direct evaluation of the chromatographic variables - co-solvent content, mobile phase flow rate, automated backpressure regulator pressure (ABPR), and column temperature - involved in the separation mechanism and assessment of the interactions among these variables, the optimal SFC-MS/MS working conditions were selected as a CO2/2% formic acid-methanol mobile phase, 1.9mL/min flow rate, 2009.8psi ABPR, and 26.0°C column temperature using an amylose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase under electrospray ionization positive mode. Baseline resolution, favorable retention, and high sensitivity of the two pairs of enantiomers were achieved in pollen, honey, water, and soil matrices within 4.5min. Additionally, the parameters affecting the dispersive solid-phase extraction procedure, such as the type and content of extractant or purification sorbents, were systematically screened to obtain better extraction yields of the enantiomers. Mean recoveries were between 78.3% and 100.2% with relative standard deviations lower than 8.0% in all matrices. The limits of quantification ranged from 1.0μg/kg to 12.5μg/kg for the dinotefuran and UF enantiomers. Furthermore, the developed method was effectively applied to authentic samples from a market, an irrigation canal, and a trial field, and the enantioselective dissipation of dinotefuran and UF in soil was demonstrated.
