THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 943:173761. [PMID: 38851355 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Acephate is commonly used as a seed treatment (ST) in precision agriculture, but its impact on pollinators, earthworms, and soil microorganisms remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the fate of acephate seed dressing (SD) and seed coating (SC) treatments and assess potential risks to bees, earthworms, and soil microorganisms. Additionally, a follow-up study on maize seeds treated with acephate in a greenhouse was conducted to evaluate the maize growth process and the dissipation dynamics of the insecticide. The results indicated that acephate SC led to greater uptake and translocation in maize plants, resulting in lower residue levels in the soil. However, high concentrations of acephate metabolites in the soil had a negative impact on the body weight of earthworms, whereas acephate itself did not. The potential risk to bees from exposure to acephate ST was determined to be low, but dose-dependent effects were observed. Furthermore, acephate ST had no significant effect on soil bacterial community diversity and abundance compared to a control. This study provides valuable insights into the uptake and translocation of acephate SD and SC, and indicates that SC is safer than SD in terms of adverse effects on bees and nontarget soil organisms.

A scientometric review. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:117034.

Abstract
Acephate is a pesticide classified as moderately toxic, and its metabolite methamidophos is highly toxic for mammals and birds; even so, it is one of the most used insecticides in pest control for agricultural and domestic use. Acephate toxicity affects both target and non-target organisms and causes serious damage to the environment. There are several studies on different perspectives of acephate, such as monitoring, toxicity, and modeling. In this sense, this research aims to identify the structure of intellectual production on acephate and analyze the gaps and trends of scientific production on acephate through a scientometric analysis. The data was obtained from the Web of Science database, and after the refinement, 1.085 documents were used. A temporal pattern of the main research objectives is displayed. Most selected studies evaluated acephate efficiency, followed by toxicity and residue detection methods. The USA, China, India, Brazil, and Japan had the highest number of publications on acephate. The keywords most utilized were pesticides, toxicity, insecticide resistance, and residue. Research involving acephate requires greater attention from areas such as ecotoxicology, biochemistry, genetics, and biotechnology. There needed to be more discussions on chronic toxicity, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity. Moreover, few studies about metabolic and biochemical pathways and genes related to acephate action and biodegradation were scarce.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:2029-2039.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hormesis is a common phenomenon in toxicology described as low-dose stimulation due to a toxin which causes inhibition at a high dose. Pesticide hormesis in plants has attracted considerable research interest in recent years; however, the specific mechanism has not yet been clarified. Acephate is an organophosphorus insecticide that is used worldwide. Here, hormesis in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plant growth and photosynthesis after acephate exposure is confirmed, as stimulation occurred at low stress levels, whereas inhibition occurred after exposure to high concentrations. RESULTS We found that low acephate concentration (5-fold lower than recommended application dosage) could enhance chlorophyll biosynthesis and stimulate photosynthesis effects, and thus improve S. lycopersicum growth. A high level of acephate (5-fold higher than recommended application dosage) stress inhibited chlorophyll accumulation, decreased photosystem II efficiency and blocked antioxidant reactions in leaves, increasing reactive oxygen species levels and damaging plant growth. Transcriptomic analysis and quantitative real-time PCR results revealed that the photosynthesis - antenna proteins pathway played a crucial role in the hormesis effect, and that LHCB7 as well as LHCP from the pathway were the most sensitive to acephate hormesis. CONCLUSION Our results showed that acephate could induce hormesis in tomato plant growth and photosynthesis, and that photosystem II and the photosynthesis - antenna proteins pathway played important roles in hormesis. These results provide novel insights into the scientific and safe application of chemical pesticides, and new guidance for investigation into utilizing pesticide hormesis in agriculture. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Oxathiapiprolin is an efficient and chiral fungicide for peronosporomycetes. The enantioselective environmental behavior and ecotoxicity of oxathiapiprolin are still unclear. The enantioselectivity of oxathiapiprolin enantiomers was explored, including their acute toxicity toward aquatic plants (Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa and Soirodela polyrhiza) along with their influence on photosynthetic pigment production, the acute toxicity and morphological differences for the embryos, larvae and adult stages of zebrafish (Danio rerio), and the degradation in four typical soils (aerobic, anaerobic and sterilized conditions). The enantioselective toxicity of oxathiapiprolin showed that the toxicity of R-oxathiapiprolin was 1.8-2.1 times higher than that of S-oxathiapiprolin toward the two aquatic plants. In particular, the content of photosynthetic pigments decreased significantly stronger after exposure to R-oxathiapiprolin compared with S-oxathiapiprolin. The LC50 values of R-oxathiapiprolin in zebrafish in the different life stages were 1.6-2.1 times higher than those of S-oxathiapiprolin. The zebrafish embryos were most sensitive to the oxathiapiprolin enantiomers. After exposure to R-oxathiapiprolin, zebrafish embryos showed noticeable hatching delays, inhibition or deformation. R-oxathiapiprolin degraded preferentially in all four soils, with an enantiomeric fraction (EF) ranging from 0.28 to 0.42 under aerobic conditions. Enantioselective degradation was not found under anaerobic and sterilized conditions. The enantioselectivity of new chiral pesticides should be fully considered in risk assessments to provide a basis for the development and preparation of pure optical enantiomers.

Abstract
Studies often neglect the differences between enantiomers in soil chiral contaminants, and the molecular ecological mechanisms involved in enantiomer selective degradation behaviors remain elusive. In the present study, we used the stepwise regression analysis to establish the quantitative relationships between degradation rates and genes that determine different degradation patterns and mechanisms among enantiomers; and beta-cypermethrin (BCYM) was chosen as the target analyte. Stepwise regression analysis demonstrated the relationships established for different enantiomers varied even under the same conditions, and results from path analysis showed the same functional gene exhibited different direct and indirect contributions to different enantiomer degradation rates. The genome and primary microbial communities during different enantiomer degradation rates were also analyzed based on Illumina MiSeq next-generation sequencing technology, and the results indicated the soil microbial community structure and abundance varied during different enantiomer degradation rates. Results from this study served to enhance our understanding of the molecular biological mechanisms of chiral contaminant selective degradation behaviors under the context of functional genes and degrading microorganisms.

Abstract
Toxification metabolism of the chiral triazole fungicide prothioconazole in the environment has attracted an increasing amount of attention. To better understand the fate of prothioconazole in aquatic ecosystems and develop a treatment strategy, the stereoselective toxicity, degradation and bioconcentration of prothioconazole were investigated in water with algae at the enantiomer level. There was remarkable enantioselectivity against Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and the highly toxic S-prothioconazole was preferentially degraded with enantiomer fraction values ranging from 0.5 to 0.74. Metabolism experiment results showed that the parent compound was quickly eliminated driven by biodegradation and abiotic degradation (hydrolysis, photolysis). Fourteen phase I and two phase II metabolites involved in the reactions of hydroxylation, methylation, dechlorinating, desulfuration, dehydration and conjugation were identified, where prothioconazole-desthio was the major metabolite. The highly toxic metabolite prothioconazole-desthio persisted in water and hardly degraded with or without C. pyrenoidosa. Furthermore, the reaction system including 1 mg of cobalt coated in nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes and 0.156 g of peroxymonosulfate was used to eliminate prothioconazole-desthio. Approximately 96% prothioconazole-desthio was eliminated and transformed to low toxicity metabolites. This work provides a strategy for the risk evaluation of prothioconazole in aquatic ecosystems and proposes a workable plan for the elimination of pesticide residues in water.

Abstract
Acephate is widely used in crops as racemate. However, the enantioselective dissipation of acephate enantiomers has not been investigated in pakchoi. A sensitive and effective approach was established for determining residues of acephate and its highly toxic metabolite methamidophos enantiomers by supercritical fluid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Baseline separations for their enantiomers were achieved by using a Chiralcel OD-H column. The optimal chromatographic conditions were obtained as follows: CO2 /ethanol (95/5) as mobile phase; flow rate, 3.0 mL/min; column temperature, 40°C. The mean recoveries (RSDs) of analytes were in the range of 77%-83.1% (6.1%-9.9%), 75.4%-87.5% (9.3%-13.2%), and 81.5%-84.2% (7.1%-13.4%) at three fortification levels (0.005, 0.05, and 0.5 mg/kg for each enantiomer) for interday assay (n = 18). The method was used to evaluate the enantioselective dissipation of acephate and methamidophos in pakchoi. S-acephate dissipated faster than R-acephate, while the concentration of R-methamidophos was higher than that of S-methamidophos during the entire study period. The results indicated that the R-enantiomer of acephate and methamidophos was preferentially enriched in pakchoi. The established analysis approach and the study data provided useful information for the rational use of acephate in agriculture. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
90 groundwater samples and 14 surface water samples were collected in wet season (summer) and dry season (winter) in the North China Plain (NCP), and analyzed for 11 organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). The results showed that the main types of OPPs in surface water and groundwater were dimethoate, dichlorvos, methyl-parathion, malathion in both summer and winter. The OPP concentrations in groundwater and surface water were higher in summer than in winter. In the vertical direction, the distribution characteristics of different four types of groundwater sampling points are different. In the horizontal direction: farmland adjacent to a river (FAR) > central farmland (CF) > nonfarm area adjacent to a river (NFAR) > central nonfarm area (CNF). The OPPs concentrations in surface water adjacent to farmland were higher than that in surface water adjacent to nonfarm area. The main factors influencing the distribution of OPPs in the groundwater and surface water were the interaction process between them, the groundwater flow field and the OPPs used in agricultural activities. The ecological risk of OPPs to surface water was greater in summer than in winter. Water Flea was at medium risk, and malathion had the greatest influence on Water Flea in both summer and winter. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks of the four main OPPs in surface water were higher than in groundwater, and were higher in summer than in winter, but they would not lead to adverse health effects on local residents.

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.

Analysis of imidacloprid residues in mango, cowpea and water samples based on portable molecular imprinting sensors. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0257042. [PMID: 34473806 PMCID: PMC8412333 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0257042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide widely used in the production and cultivation of crops. In recent years, the extensive use of imidacloprid in agricultural production has resulted in large amounts of pesticide residues in agricultural products and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a rapid, accurate, sensitive and convenient method for detecting imidacloprid pesticide residues to ensure the safety of agricultural products and the environment. To clarify how to use the molecular imprinting method for the electrochemical rapid residue detection of imidacloprid. This paper selected reduced graphene oxide and gold nanoparticles as modifiers modified on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) chitosan as a functional monomer, and imidacloprid as template molecule to prepare molecularly imprinted polymer, and applied this sensor to the residue detection of imidacloprid. The results showed that the concentration of imidacloprid showed a good linear relationship with the peak response current, and the detection limit of imidacloprid was 0.5 μM, while the sensor had good repeatability and interference resistance. The recoveries of imidacloprid spiked on three samples, mango, cowpea and water, were in the range of 90-110% (relative standard deviation, RSD<5%), which proved the practicality and feasibility of the assay established in this paper. The results of this paper can be used as a basis for the research on the detection of imidacloprid pesticide residues in food or environment.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 281:111874. [PMID: 33385909 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Surface-water irrigation is one of the most important irrigation methods in areas with abundant surface water. Although this method of irrigation is both economical and convenient, many contaminants are also introduced into the soil-water systems such as organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). To study the influence of surface-water irrigation on the distribution of OPPs in soil-water systems, 42 water samples (38 groundwater and four surface water) and 85 soil samples (78 profile soil samples and seven topsoil samples) were taken from Shahu in the Jianghan Plain, China. Shahu is a typical Chinese surface-water irrigation district. During sampling, three types of areas were considered: surface-water irrigated areas, groundwater-irrigated areas away from rivers, and non-irrigated areas adjacent to rivers. The results showed that the concentrations of OPPs in the groundwater and soil in the surface-water irrigated farmland were higher than those in groundwater-irrigated farmland. The groundwater flow field and surface-water irrigation were responsible for the OPPs. Thus, it is clear that the surface-water irrigation had a strong influence on the distribution of OPPs in soil-water systems. Principal component analysis for OPPs content in groundwater showed that the key influencing factors on the distribution of OPPs in groundwater were the groundwater flow field and current pesticide use.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a series of cyclic oligosaccharides formed by amylose under the action of CD glucosyltransferase that is produced by Bacillus. After being modified by polymerization, substitution and grafting, high molecular weight cyclodextrin polymers (pCDs) containing multiple CD units can be obtained. pCDs retain the internal hydrophobic-external hydrophilic cavity structure characteristic of CDs, while also possessing the stability of polymer. They are a class of functional polymer materials with strong development potential and have been applied in many fields. This review introduces the research progress of pCDs, including the synthesis of pCDs and their applications in analytical separation science, materials science, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Bitertanol is a widely used chiral triazole fungicide. The stereoselective environmental behavior and biological effects of bitertanol are not clear. The present study evaluated the stereoselectivity of bitertanol, including its degradation in five typical soils (under laboratory controlled aerobic, anaerobic and sterilization conditions), metabolism in rat liver microsomes (RLM; in vitro), and the endocrine disruption effects on the estrogen receptor (ER) and thyroid hormone receptor (TR) using reporter gene assays. The results indicated that (1S,2R)-bitertanol and (1R,2S)-bitertanol had faster degradation rates in soil than the other stereoisomers. The half-lives of four bitertanol stereoisomers ranged from 9.1 d to 86.6 d in different soils under different conditions. (1S,2R)-bitertanol was preferentially metabolized in RLM. The molecular docking results confirmed the in vitro experiments that (1S,2R)-bitertanol had shortest binding distances and lowest energies with cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs). Four bitertanol stereoisomers showed stereoselective antagonistic effects on ER. Additionally, (1S,2R)-bitertanol and (1R,2S)-bitertanol exhibited antagonistic effects on TR. These results suggest that the use of pure (1S,2R)-bitertanol instead of the commercial stereoisomer mix, may help reduce environmental pollution and biological toxicity.

Abstract
Organophosphorus insecticides account for approximately 28% of the global commercial insecticide market, while 40% of them are chiral enantiomers. Chiral enantiomers differ largely in their toxicities. Enantiomers that are less active or inactive do not offer the needed efficacy but pollute the environment and cause toxicities to non-target species. Cupriavidus nantongensis X1T, a recently isolated bacterial strain, could degrade S-profenofos 2.3-fold faster than R-profenofos, while the latter is the active enantiomer potently against pest insects and has greater mammalian safety. The degradation enzyme encoded by opdB was expressed via Escherichia coli and purified. The degradation kinetics of R- and S-profenofos showed that both the purified OpdB and crude enzyme extracts had no enantiomer degradation selectivity, which strongly indicated that the degradation selectivity occurred in the uptake process. Metabolite analyses suggested a novel dealkylation pathway. This is the first report of bacterial selective uptake of organophosphates. Selective degradation of S-profenofos over R-profenofos by the strain X1T suggests a concept of co-application of racemic pesticides and degradation-selective bacteria to minimize contamination and non-target toxicity problems.

Abstract
A benzylureido-β-cyclodextrin was synthesized by the reaction of 6-amino-β-cyclodextrin with an active benzyl isocyanate. Then, it was bonded to silica gel by a thiol-ene addition reaction, obtaining a new benzylureido-β-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phase (BzCDP). Its chemical structure was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The BzCDP was successfully used to separate phenylmercapturic acid (PMA) and benzylmercapturic acid (BMA) enantiomers, which were confirmed as biomarkers of exposure to benzene and toluene in human urine. The enantiomeric separations were also optimized through the investigation of related factors. The resolutions of PMA and BMA enantiomers could be up to 2.25 and 2.14, respectively, within 30 min under reversed-phase chromatography. Based on the optimal chromatographic and mass spectrometry conditions, a new LC-MS/MS quantitative method for the PMA and BMA enantiomers was established by negative ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and an isotope-labeled PMA (d2-PMA) as an internal standard. The limits of detection (LODs) of enantiomers were less than 0.17 μg/L for PMA and 0.14 μg/L for BMA, and the averaged recoveries of enantiomers were in the range of 86~100% for PMA and 86~113% for BMA. The method had good reproducibility levels with the RSDs (3.5~11.3% for intra-day and 3.9~13.1% for inter-day). The method was successfully applied to urine testing of 60 painting and printing workers. The results showed that only L-PMA was detected in the urine of the Printers, while a high content of L-PMA (27.5~106 μg/L) and D-PMA (19.9~82.8 μg/L) can be detected simultaneously in the urine of the Painters, indicating that benzene pollution was more serious in this group. The positive rate of BMA was rather higher, indicating that toluene pollution was more common than benzene. BMA also existed in the form of two enantiomers (L-BMA and D-BMA), but the difference between the two types of occupational groups was small. It is a meaningful work to deeply study the existence and content of chiral markers in human urine, which will help to better understand and evaluate the harmful effects of benzene series on human beings.

Abstract
We synthesized nine pyriproxyfen (PYR) metabolites and developed a chiral residual analysis method for PYR with its metabolites in five soils using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Soil degradation research showed that higher organic matter content and bigger soil particle size were conducive to the degradation of PYR and metabolites. Metabolite A 4'-OH-PYR was mainly found in five soils. PYR and metabolite A performed enantioselective degradation in soil with half-lives ranging from 2.11 d to 9.69 d and 2.80 d to 13.30 d, respectively. The activity of dehydrogenase, sucrase was inhibited and catalase activity was promoted under the disturbance of PYR. Urease was more sensitive to PYR with uncertain influences. Most soil enzymes were not restored to their initial active state after 120 d. The toxicity of metabolites to earthworms was greater than that of the parent compound PYR. This study provides the basic degradation and toxicity data of chiral pesticide PYR and its main metabolites in soil ecosystem, which is of great significance for guiding safe use and comprehensive evaluation of PYR on environmental risk.

Abstract
The enantiomeric environmental behaviors, bioactivities and toxicities of isofenphos‑methyl enantiomers were characterized systematically in this study. (R)‑Isofenphos‑methyl was degraded preferentially in Yangtze River water and different types of vegetables with an enantiomeric fraction (EF) of 0.6 to 0.96. However, (R)‑isofenphos‑methyl was amplified in both Nanjing (EF = 0.32) and Nanchang (EF = 0.27) soil. Our investigations found that there no bidirectional chiral inversion occurred in either Yangtze River water or soils. The bioactivity of (S)‑isofenphos‑methyl was higher than that of its (R)‑enantiomer against different insect targets, such as Meloidogyne incognita, Nilaparvata lugens, Plutella xylostella and Macrosiphum pisi (3.7 to 149 times). (S)‑Isofenphos‑methyl showed higher toxicity for the nontarget organism (1.1 to 32 times). However, (R)‑isofenphos‑methyl possesses 4.0 times more potency than the (S)-form for the nontarget soil organism Eisenia foetida. This study generally could provide more scientific guidance for the corresponding risk assessments of pesticides in addition to providing a new theoretical basis for scientifically and rationally using isofenphos‑methyl.

Abstract
Prothioconazole is a widely used chiral triazole fungicide. In this work, the enantioselective degradation and transformation of prothioconazole and its chiral metabolite prothioconazole-desthio in five kinds of soils were investigated under native and sterile conditions using reversed phase liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry with a Lux-cellulose-1 column. The results showed that an enantioselective degradation was observed with R-prothioconazole preferentially degraded in the five soils and enantiomeric fraction values that ranged from 0.32 to 0.41 under native conditions. Furthermore, the major metabolite prothioconazole-desthio was formed rapidly during prothioconazole dissipation. The prothioconazole-desthio enantiomers were degraded slowly, and there was a slight enantioselectivity with enantiomeric fraction values that ranged from 0.45 to 0.51 in the Nanjing and Jilin soils. Under sterile conditions, prothioconazole and its metabolite enantiomers were more slowly degraded with no enantioselectivity. The result of the incubation experiment with single enantiomers verified that R- and S-prothioconazole were transformed to R- and S-prothioconazole-desthio, respectively. No enantiomerization for prothioconazole and its chiral metabolite was observed. In addition, the excellent correlation between organic matter content and degradation rate indicated that organic matter could promote the degradation of prothioconazole and its metabolite enantiomers. The data in this study provide the experimental evidence of the stereoselective degradation and metabolism of both prothioconazole and its chiral metabolite in the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 25:18772-18780. [PMID: 29713973 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-1707-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2017] [Accepted: 03/07/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The enantioselective degradation of isofenphos-methyl in cowpea, cucumber, and pepper under field conditions was investigated to elucidate the enantioselective environmental behaviors of this pesticide. The concentrations of the enantiomers were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The degradation rates of isofenphos-methyl enantiomers were the fastest in cowpea, followed by cucumber and pepper, with half-lives ranging from 1.48 to 8.06 days. The enantioselective degradation of isofenphos-methyl was characterized by calculating and comparing the values of enantiomer fraction (EF) and enantiomeric selectivity (ES). The degradation rates and enantioselectivities of isofenphos-methyl were different for the three vegetables. (R)-(-)-isofenphos-methyl was degraded faster than (S)-(+)-isofenphos-methyl in cowpea and cucumber, whereas (S)-(+)-isofenphos-methyl underwent preferential degradation in pepper. These results could serve as a reference for the study of enantioselective behavior of isofenphos-methyl in plants and further food safety evaluation, where the enantiomeric differences should be considered in the risk assessment.

Abstract
Pyrisoxazole is a chiral fungicide with high sterilizing activity to the plant pathogenic bacteria and thus can be used for protecting the vegetables from gray mold, powdery mildew, and brown rot. The present work aimed to explore its stereoselective degradation in cabbage, pakchoi, and pepper samples. The enantioseparation and analysis on chiral column Lux Cellulose-3 based on liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was developed coupled to the QuEChERS method. The recoveries of the stereoisomers in various vegetables ranged from 72.6 to 124% with RSD lower than 5.0%. Enantioselective dissipation of pyrisoxazole in vegetables displayed that (-)-A-pyrisoxazole was preferentially degraded versus (+)-A-pyrisoxazole in all the vegetables. (+)-B-pyrisoxazole was preferentially degraded in cabbage, while there was no obvious enantioselectivity in pakchoi and pepper. Meanwhile, stereoselectivity analysis demonstrated that (±)-A-pyrisoxazole was degraded faster than (±)-B-pyrisoxazole in pakchoi and pepper, while there was no stereoselective degradation in cabbages.

Abstract
The enantioselective dissipation of acephate and its metabolite, methamidophos, was investigated during tea cultivation, manufacturing, and infusion, using QuEChERS sample preparation technique and gas chromatography coupled with a BGB-176 chiral column. Results showed that (+)-acephate and (-)-acephate dissipated following first-order kinetics in fresh tea leaves with half-lives of 1.8 and 1.9 days, respectively. Acephate was degraded into a more toxic metabolite, methamidophos. Preferential dissipation and translocation of (+)-acephate may exist in tea shoots, and (-)-methamidophos was degraded more rapidly than (+)-methamidophos. During tea manufacturing, drying and spreading (or withering) played important roles in the dissipation of acephate enantiomers. The enantiometic fractions of acephate changed from 0.495-0.496 to 0.479-0.486 (P ≤ 0.0081), whereas those of methamidophos changed from 0.576-0.630 to 0.568-0.645 (P ≤ 0.0366 except for green tea manufacturing on day 1), from fresh tea leaves to made tea. In addition, high transfer rates (>80%) and significant enantioselectivity (P ≤ 0.0042) of both acephate and its metabolite occurred during tea brewing.

Abstract
This article reports optically active microspheres consisting of chiral helical substituted polyacetylene and β-cyclodextrin-derivative (β-CD-A). The microspheres showed remarkable adsorption toward various organic compounds in water. To prepare the microspheres, an acetylenic-derived helical macro-monomer was synthesized and then underwent aqueous suspension copolymerization with octadecyl acrylate and butyl acrylate by using azobis(isobutyronitrile) as initiator and β-CD-A simultaneously as comonomer and cross-linking agent. The helical macro-monomer chains enabled the microspheres to exhibit desirable enantio-differentiating adsorption capacity toward chiral compounds respectively dissolved in organic solvent, dispersed in water, and dissolved in water. The saturated absorbency toward (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-1-phenylethylamine was 29 and 12 mg · g(-1), respectively. The microspheres also showed large oil absorbency (e.g., 22 g · g(-1) CCl4) and a large adsorption toward methyl red (as a model for organic dyes) dispersed in water. The presence of β-CD-A moieties improved the adsorption performance of the microspheres. The present optically active microspheres open a new approach for preparing adsorbents particularly chiral adsorbents with potentials for wastewater treatment.
