Abstract
This study represents the initial examination of the herbicidal efficacy, crop safety, and degradation patterns of 2,4-D ethylhexyl ester (2,4-D EHE) at the enantiomeric level. Baseline separation of 2,4-D EHE enantiomers was achieved using a superchiral R-AD column, with their absolute configurations determined through chemical reaction techniques. Evaluation of weed control efficacy against sensitive species such as sun spurge and flixweed demonstrated significantly higher inhibition rates for S-2,4-D EHE compared to R-2,4-D EHE. Conversely, no stereoselectivity was observed in the fresh-weight inhibition rates of both enantiomers on crops or nonsensitive weeds. A sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method was developed to simultaneously detect two enantiomers and the metabolite 2,4-D in plants. Investigation into degradation kinetics revealed no substantial difference in the half-lives of R- and S-2,4-D EHE in maize and flixweed. Notably, the metabolite 2,4-D exhibited prolonged persistence at elevated levels on flixweed, while it degraded rapidly on maize.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) and pesticides commonly exist in the environment, yet the interactions between them and their subsequent impacts on plants remain poorly understood. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impacts of differently charged polystyrene (PS) MPs, including PS-COO-, PS and PS-NH3+ MPs, on the fate of 14C-labelled new antiviral pesticide Dufulin (DFL) in a hydroponic tomato system. The results showed that MPs greatly reduced the growth of tomato plants, with suppression of 18.4-30.2%. Compared to the control group, PS-COO-, PS and PS-NH3+ MPs also reduced the bioaccumulation of DFL in whole tomato plants by 40.3%, 34.5%, and 26.1%, respectively. Furthermore, MPs influenced the translocation of DFL in plant tissues, and the values decreased at the rates of 38.7%, 26.5% and 15.7% for PS-COO-, PS and PS-NH3+, respectively. Interestingly, compared to the control group, PS-COO- exhibited a profound inhibitory effect on DFL concentrations in tomatoes, potentially resulting in a lower dietary risk in the hydroponic tomato system. This may be due to the strong adsorption between PS-COO- and DFL, and PS-COO- may also inhibit the growth of tomato plants. Overall, our study could provide valuable insights into the risk assessment of DFL in the presence of MPs in plant systems.

Abstract
Dufulin is a promising chiral antiviral agent, but little is known about its fate in soils. In this study, the fate of dufulin enantiomers in aerobic soils was investigated using radioisotope tracing techniques. The result of the four-compartment model showed no significant differences in dissipation, generation of bound residues (BR) and mineralization between S-dufulin and R-dufulin during incubation. Dufulin dissipated most quickly in cinnamon soils, followed by fluvo-aquic and black soils and the half-lives of dufulin in these soils obtained by the modified model were 4.92-5.23, 32.39-33.32 and 60.80-61.34 d, respectively. After 120 d incubation, the percentage of radioactivity of BR increased to 18.2-38.4 % in the three soils. Dufulin formed most bound residues in the black soil, least in the cinnamon soil, and BRs rapidly formed in the cinnamon soil during the early culture period. In these three soils, the cumulative mineralization of 14CO2 ranged from 25.0 to 26.7 %, 42.1 to 43.4 % and 33.8 to 34.4 %, respectively, which indicated that the environmental fate of dufulin was primarily influenced by soil characteristics. The study of microbial community structure revealed that the phyla Ascomycota, Proteobacteria and genus Mortierella might be related to the degradation of dufulin. These findings provide a reference for assessing the environmental impact and ecological safety of dufulin application.

Abstract
Dufulin (DFL), a plant antiviral agent synthesized in China, has been widely used to control viral diseases in rice, tobacco, tomato, and other crops. However, its fate in flooded anaerobic soils, which is essential for environmental risk assessment, remains unknown. Using the 14C tracer technique, the fate of 14C-labeled DFL isomers in flooded anaerobic soils was systematically investigated in this study. Over the 100-day incubation, a small part of 14C-DFL enantiomer was mineralized to 14CO2 (< 10.44 %) or entered the surface water phase (< 6.69 %), with most of the 14C (> 80.40 %) remaining in the subsoil. The residues in all tested soils were gradually converted from extractable residues (ERs) to nonextractable residues (NERs). At the end of incubation, the fraction of 14C-NERs reached 5.38-23.77 %. The half-life (t1/2) of the DFL parent in soil is relatively long under submerged anaerobic conditions, especially in Fluvo-aquic soil, up to 277.26-315.07 days, which exceeds the risk threshold recommended by the Stockholm Convention (< 180 days). Soil type and microbial activity influenced the fate of DFL in flooded soils and microbial analysis showed that 2.0 mg kg-1 DFL had no obvious impact on soil bacterial richness and function. Pseudomonas spp. was estimated to be a potentially efficient degrading genus for DFL. No enantioselective behaviors were detected in this study. This research provides a theoretical basis for evaluating the environmental impact and ecological safety of DFL application.

Abstract
The photochemical behaviors of chiral pollutants in aqueous solutions are rarely studied using chiral monomers, which may hamper their precise risk assessment and lead to suspicious conclusions. In this study, we systematically investigated the phototransformation behavior and toxicity evolution of two widely used chiral pesticides (triadimefon (TF) and triadimenol (TN)) at enantiomer and diastereomer levels, and proposed a calculation method of total photolysis rate constants of chiral mixture. Results show that TF and TN could be photodegraded faster in pure water than in natural waters, and the observed photolysis rate constants (kobs) of TN with two chiral centers exhibit enantioselectivity, i.e., kobs(TN-RS) = kobs(TN-SR) > kobs(TN-RR) = kobs(TN-SS). The photolysis of TF and TN mainly occurs through their excited singlet and triplet states, respectively. Their photodegradation pathways mainly include dechlorination and elimination of triazole ring. TF could also undergo ether bond cleavage. It is also found that, both TF and TN exhibit photo-induced toxicity to V. fischeri, due to the generation of more toxic products than parent compounds. Furthermore, TN exhibits enantioselective photo-induced toxicity after 240-min irradiation, which could be ascribed to the formation of chiral products. These results could benefit the understanding of enantioselective environmental behavior of chiral pollutants.

Abstract
Prothioconazole is a widely used chiral triazole fungicide, and its residue pollution has attracted wide attention in recent years. However, little is known about microbial metabolic processes of prothioconazole enantiomers. In this study, a prothioconazole-degrading strain, Sphingomonas sp. AJ-1, was isolated from activated sludge. The optimal temperature and pH for prothioconazole degradation by strain AJ-1 were 30 °C and 6.0, respectively, and the degradation rate of prothioconazole by strain AJ-1 was negatively correlated with the initial concentration. When supplemented with additional carbon source, the degradation rates of 10 mg/L (Rac)-/(S)-/(R)-prothioconazole by strain AJ-1 were 76.0 %, 100.0 % and 64.8 % within 6 d, respectively. The CS bond of prothioconazole was methylated to produce (S)-/(R)-prothioconazole-S-methyl by strain AJ-1, but the degradation rate of prothioconazole by strain AJ-1 with (S)-enantiomer was 2.54-fold of that with (R)-enantiomer. Moreover, the toxicity of (Rac)-prothioconazole-S-methyl was 5.57 times lower than that of (Rac)-prothioconazole to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The results showed that strain AJ-1 had obvious enantioselective metabolism for prothioconazole, and this metabolism was a detoxification process. This study provides new insights into the enantioselective metabolism of the chiral fungicide prothioconazole in microorganisms.

Abstract
Dufulin is a newly developed plant antiviral agent, which is widely used in the control of many viral crop diseases. Existing research mainly focuses on its antiviral effect, but research in relation to resistance to abiotic stress is unclear. This study was based on the treatment of rice with salt (NaCl), and exogenous application of Dufulin as a stress-resistant agent. The effect of Dufulin on salt stress of rice was revealed. There were 1997 differential genes detected, including 1449 up-regulated and 548 down-regulated. After the application of Dufulin to rice, when salt stress was applied, peroxidase activity was increased and superoxide dismutase activity was reduced; GO and KEGG analyses indicated that the stimulated genes are related to the stress resistance pathway, thus improving the ability of rice to resist salt stress. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis was used to verify the dynamic changes of growth- and stress-resistance-related genes, among which integral membrane protein DUF6 containing protein, OsHKT1;4 (Na+ transporter) and zinc-finger protein were verified to increase by more than three times, and OsIAA1 and OsIAA9 were verified as down-regulated. Measuring the length of root, stem and leaf, and OsIAA1 and OsIAA9 expression showed that Dufulin promoted rice growth. After that, Dufulin could enhance the salt resistance of rice by regulating the expression of integral membrane protein DUF6 containing protein, OsHKT1;4, zinc-finger protein and other related genes under salt stress. The results elucidated the mechanism of Dufulin action during salt stress in rice at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
Dufulin is a biologically derived antiviral agent chemically synthesized by α-phosphoramidate in sheep and is effective against viral diseases in plants such as tobacco, rice, cucumber and tomato. However, the environmental behaviors and fate of Dufulin under different cultivation systems remain unknown. This study investigates the absorption, translocation and accumulation of 14C-Dufulin stereoisomers introduced by pesticide leaf daubing and by mixing the pesticide with soil in different tissues of cherry radish. We particularly focused on whether the behaviors of Dufulin enantiomers in plants were stereoselective. In the leaf uptake experiments, S-Dufulin and R-Dufulin were transported both up and down, while more than 93% of the pesticide remained in the labeled leaves. During the radicular absorption experiments, both enantiomers of Dufulin were taken up by radish roots and moved to the upper part of the plant, while less than 0.2% Dufulin was absorbed from the soil. Hence, it was easier for Dufulin to enter plants through the leaf surface than through the roots. However, we found in this trial that the stereoisomers of Dufulin underwent nonstereoselective absorption and translocation, which implies that rac-Dufulin and its metabolites should be a major research priority. Overall, our results provide a relatively accurate prediction of the risk assessment of Dufulin, which will help guide its rational use in the environment as well as ensure eco-environmental safety and human health.

Abstract
In this work, the stereoselective degradation of prothioconazole in five soils was investigated and the metabolite prothioconazole-desthio was determined. The effects of prothioconazole on soil enzymes activities and microbial community were also studied. The dissipation of prothioconazole fitted with a first-order kinetic equation with half-lives ranging from 3.45 to 9.90 days. In addition, R-prothioconazole degraded preferentially than S-prothioconazole in all soils with EF values >0.5. Prothioconazole-desthio formed rapidly with preference in R-enantiomer, and the concentration kept at a considerable level even at the end of the incubation, indicating it was relatively persistent in soil. Prothioconazole and its metabolite inhibited the activity of dehydrogenase, catalase and urease in soils, and could affect the diversity of the soil microbiota as well. Redundancy analysis (RDA) and Spearman analysis showed the abundance of Proteobacteria, Fusobacteria, Firmicutes, Thaumarchaeota, Saccharibacteria, Chloroflexi, Chlorobi, Actinobacteria and Nitrospirae might be related to the enantioselective degradation. The work was helpful for understanding the environmental behavior of the fungicide prothioconazole and its primary metabolite on an enantiomeric level.

Effects of Dufulin on Oxidative Stress and Metabolomic Profile of Tubifex. Metabolites 2021; 11:metabo11060381. [PMID: 34208357 PMCID: PMC8231163 DOI: 10.3390/metabo11060381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Dufulin is a highly effective antiviral pesticide used in plants. In this study, a seven-day experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of Dufulin at five different concentrations (1 × 10−4, 1 × 10−3, 1 × 10−2, 0.1, and 1 mg/L) on Tubifex. LC-MS-based metabolome analysis detected a total of 5356 features in positive and 9110 features in negative, of which 41 showed significant changes and were identified as differential metabolites. Four metabolic pathways were selected for further study. Detailed analysis revealed that Dufulin exposure affected the urea cycle of Tubifex, probably via argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) inhibition. It also affected the fatty acid metabolism, leading to changes in the concentration of free fatty acids in Tubifex. Furthermore, the changes in metabolites after exposure to Dufulin at 1 × 10−2 mg/L were different from those at the other concentrations.

[PMID: 33385389 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Penthiopyrad is a chiral carboxamide fungicide with a broad spectrum of fungicidal activity. However, there is no report on the analysis of the enantiomers of penthiopyrad and their environmental behavior. Soil is an important carrier for pesticides to affect the environment. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the absolute configuration, stereoselective degradation, configuration stability and potential metabolites of this agrochemical in soil under different laboratory conditions. R-(-)-penthiopyrad and S-(+)-penthiopyrad were identified by the electronic circular dichroism method. Regarding the racemic analyte, the degradation half-lives of the stereoisomers ranged from 38.9 to 97.6 days, the S-(+)-stereoisomer degraded preferentially in four types of Chinese soil. However, enantiopure R-(-)-penthiopyrad degraded faster than its antipode, a finding that might be related to the microbial activity in soil. The organic matter (OM) content influenced the stereoselective degradation of rac-penthiopyrad. No configuration conversion was observed in both enantiopure analyte degradation processes. One possible metabolite, 753-A-OH, was detected in the treated soil samples, and the degradation pathway might be a hydroxylation reaction. This is the first report of the absolute configuration of penthiopyrad stereoisomers and the first comprehensive evaluation of the stereoselective degradation of penthiopyrad in Chinese soil. Stereoselective degradation of rac-penthiopyrad was observed in the four types of soil. And the stereoselectivity might be inhibited by OM. This study provides more accurate data to investigate the environmental behavior of penthiopyrad at the stereoisomer level.

Abstract
Dufulin is a new type of chiral antiplant virus agent independently developed in China. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of different concentrations of rac-dufulin and dufulin enantiomers (1, 5, and 10 mg/L) on oxidative stress in Tubifex after exposure for 3, 7, and 14 d. Results showed that rac-dufulin and individual enantiomers had no significant effects on total protein content and glutathione reductase activities. Increased superoxide dismutase demonstrated the generation of superoxide anion radical. The increase in glutathione S-transferase may be due to detoxification mechanisms. The different changes in catalase activities could be due to oxidative stress. The increase in malondialdehyde may be due to the accumulation and toxicity of contaminations. The degradation behavior of dufulin enantiomers was studied through spiked-water and spiked-soil tests. The degradation rate of S-(+)-dufulin was faster than that of R-(-)-dufulin. The present study demonstrated the occurrence of enantioselectivity in the degradation and oxidative stress of dufulin to Tubifex. In spiked soil, the concentrations of dufulin enantiomers in underlying soil were significantly higher than those in overlying water; but after 5 d of degradation, the bioturbation of Tubifex could facilitate part of dufulin diffusing from the underlying soil into the overlying water and altered the partitioning of dufulin. The present study provided a basis for conducting environmental safety risk assessments and rationally using dufulin as a chiral pesticide. Environ Toxicol Chem 2020;39:2136-2146. © 2020 SETAC.

Abstract
Understanding the isomeric behavior of active ingredients in the soil and water environment is the first and a major part of deriving an exposure assessment. Whilst a variety of approaches have been taken previously, with the new regulatory framework for the risk assessment of isomeric plant protection compounds recently published by EFSA, (European Food Safety Authority) there will in future be a more consistent approach which has been taken here. For indaziflam (IAF), the alkylazine, cross spectrum residual herbicide which has a cellulose biosynthesis inhibition mode of action, there was no published data on the isomeric degradation behavior in soil and water. The results of measuring the isomeric stability of [14C]-radiolabeled 437-IAF, the major stereoisomer of indaziflam (AE 1170437, [1R,2S,6R] configuration) during its degradation in an aerobic soil metabolism study with four EU soils, an aerobic aquatic metabolism study with two natural water/sediment test systems, as well as an aqueous photolysis study are reported. To sum up, it was shown that in the different environmental conditions under abiotic as well as biotic degradation processes, indaziflam was not subject to isomeric interconversion to diastereoisomers 435-IAF (RRR), 438-IAF (RSS), or 439-IAF (SSR). Thus, all three chiral centers of indaziflam can be considered isomerically stable. In addition, no isomeric interconversion was observed at the 1-fluoroethyl position for the major degradation products IAF-indanone and IAF-carboxylic acid to the RSS-configuration as well as IAF-diaminotriazine from the R- to the S-configuration.

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
Kudzu (Pueraria thunbergiana) plant extract impregnated sediments were used for abiotic and biotic uptakes and biodegradation. The optimized conditions were 25 μg L-1 concentration, 7 days for abiotic uptake and 56 days for biotic uptake and biodegradation, dose 2 g L-1 , 7 pH, and 35°C temperature. The amount removed of dufulin was 32.6% in abiotic conditions while these were 90% in the case of biotic uptake and biodegradation. Enantioselective biodegradation indicated that S-(+)-enantiomer degraded faster (90%) than R-(-)-enantiomer (87%). The data for abiotic and biotic uptakes and biodegradation followed well Langmuir, thermodynamics, and kinetics models. All these processes followed pseudo first-order kinetics. It was observed that biodegradation was three times responsible for dufulin removal than simple sorption uptake (abiotic and biotic). The abiotic and biotic uptakes and biodegradation were quite fast and endothermic nature. The developed method may be used to remove the racemic and enantiomeric dufulin in water.

Abstract
A simple and eco-friendly dispersive solid-phase extraction method coupled with ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the determination of the chiral pesticide tefluthrin in food and environmental samples. The response surface methodology was applied to optimize separation conditions. The elution order of tefluthrin enantiomers was Z-cis-(1S,3S)-(-)-tefluthrin and Z-cis-(1R,3R)-(+)-tefluthrin on a Lux Cellulose-1 chiral column was identified via a polarimeter and vibrating circular dichroism. The average recoveries in five matrices ranged from 76.9 to 107.6%, with intraday relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 15.6% and interday RSDs less than 12.5% for two enantiomers. The enantioselective degradation was investigated via laboratory incubation experiments. Slightly enantioselective degradation was observed under aerobic conditions; (1S,3S)-tefluthrin degraded preferentially with the enantiomer fraction value of 0.57 at 120 days of incubation. No remarkable enantioselective degradation was observed under anaerobic and sterile conditions. It was the first time that pyrethroid pesticides were determined at the enantiomer levels via UPLC-MS/MS. This novel method was successfully applied for the enantioselective analysis of tefluthrin enantiomers in authentic samples, indicating its efficacy in investigating the environmental stereochemistry of tefluthrin in the food web and environment. It is of crucial importance to improve risk assessment and regulation of chiral pesticides in an agricultural system.

Abstract
Two enantiomers of glufosinate were separated under reverse-phase conditions on a chiral crown stationary phase (CROWNPAK CR(+)). An efficient and reliable chiral analytical method was developed to determine the glufosinate enantiomers and two metabolites in soil and water samples using high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS). The linearities of the matrix-matched calibration curves in five water and four soil samples were good with a correlation coefficient R2 > 0.998, and the mean recoveries were 85.2-100.4%, with relative standard deviations of 1.0-7.1%. l-Glufosinate was degraded faster than d-glufosinate in four nonsterile natural soil and two nonsterile natural water samples. The degradation half-lives of the enantiomers ranged from 3.4 to 33.0 days in the soil samples, but glufosinate was stable in the five water samples, less than 22% of the applied substance degraded at the end of the experiment (100 days). Degradation in sterile soil was not enantioselective. The two enantiomers were configurationally stable in the four soil and five water samples. In most cases of glufosinate degradation in soils, the percentage of 3-methylphosphinicopropionic in relation to the parent was higher than that of N-acetyl-glufosinate. l-Glufosinate was preferentially degraded in the four soils, and formation of 3-methylphosphinicopropionic acid and N-acetyl-glufosinate was enantiomer dependent.

Abstract
The degradation dynamics and terminal residues of dufulin enantiomers were investigated in two typical corn plants. A convenient and precise chiral method by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) using a Chiralpak IC column was developed and validated for measuring dufulin enantiomers in corn plants and corn. The two enantiomers of dufulin quickly dissipated in the corn plant, and no noticeable stereoselectivity was observed during degradation or in the final residues. After 30% rac-dufulin wettable powder with a 1- to 1.5-fold dose of the recommended value was sprayed two to three times on corn plants, the residue levels of S-(+)-dufulin and R-(-)-dufulin in corn from both sites were lower than or equal to 0.0520 mg kg-1 on days 7, 14 and 21 after the last application. The dietary risk assessment indicated that dufulin did not exhibit obvious dietary health risks in corn samples when good agricultural practices were implemented. The findings from this study may be used to better understand the chiral profiles of dufulin in the environment and the effect of dufulin residues in corn on health.

Abstract
Dufulin is a plant antiviral agent with a novel molecular structure and has been used widely to prevent and control tobacco and rice viral diseases. In this study, an UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed for rapid determination of dufulin racemate ( rac-DFL) and its R ( S)-enantiomers in rat plasma, tissues, urine, and feces. A MALDI-MSI method was further used for visual research on tissue distribution after intragastric administration of the three analytes. Toxicokinetic study showed that both ( R)-enantiomer of dufulin (( R)-DFL) and ( S)-enantiomer of dufulin (( S)-DFL) had a faster ability to reach Cmax than that of rac-DFL. ( R)-DFL and ( S)-DFL had a similar T1/2, though both were significantly lower than rac-DFL. Cmax of rac-DFL was obviously higher than ( R)-DFL or ( S)-DFL. Meanwhile, Cmax of ( S)-DFL was only about 60% of ( R)-DFL. Rac-DFL and its R ( S)-enantiomers had a dose-dependent toxicokinetic profile. Tissue distribution results revealed rac-DFL, ( R)-DFL, and ( S)-DFL mainly distributed in the liver and kidney, but the maximum concentration was only ng/g grade and could significantly degrade within 3 h. This indicates that dufulin does not cause liver and kidney toxicity in animals. In addition, rac-DFL and its R ( S)-enantiomers have not been detected in brain tissue. Cumulative excretion of rac-DFL and its R ( S)-enantiomers within 24 h in urine and feces were less than 22.85% indicating that they mainly excreted as metabolites. These results could provide evidence for the in-depth toxicity evaluation of dufulin pesticide. In addition, its metabolic selectivity information in vivo has also been obtained.

Abstract
A simple and rapid method for enantioselective determination of dufulin in cucumber and soil was developed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The enantiomers were separated on a Superchiral S-OD chiral cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) column at 20°C, with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (0.1% formic acid; 52:48, v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.65 mL/min. The pretreatment conditions were optimized using an orthogonal test, and the optimized method showed good linearity and sensitivity. The limits of detection and limits of quantification of two dufulin enantiomers were 0.006 and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively. The average recoveries of S-enantiomer and R-enantiomer in cucumber and soil were 80.61-99.83% and 80.97-102.96%, respectively, with relative standard deviations of 1.30-9.72%. The method was successfully applied to determine dufulin in real cucumber and soil samples. The results demonstrate that the method could facilitate further research on the differences between individual dufulin enantiomers with respect to metabolites and environmental fate and finally help reveal the complex interactions that exist between dufulin, humans and the environment.

Abstract
In this study, the stereoselective bioaccumulation of rac-dufulin, pure S-(+)-dufulin, and pure R-(-)-dufulin in Tubifex (Oligochaeta, Tubificida) were analyzed in spiked-water and spiked-soil systems at low and high dose levels. In the bioaccumulation experiments treated with rac-dufulin, the enantioselective behaviors of the enantiomers show that the concentrations of R-(-)-dufulin are higher than those of S-(+)-dufulin at two dose levels. However, when treated with solely pure S-(+)-dufulin and R-(-)-dufulin, no significant difference of concentrations was detected in Tubifex. Furthermore, the calculated accumulation factors in Tubifex indicated that dufulin (racemic or the pure enantiomers) in the spiked-soil treatments had higher bioaccumulation potential than in the spiked-water treatments. The spiked-soil experiments revealed that the dissipation of dufulin in soil was not enantioselective at the enantiomer levels and Tubifex could reduce the concentrations of dufulin in the underlying solid matrix and accelerate its repair and detoxification process.

Abstract
A new method for the isolation and enrichment of ofloxacin enantiomers from fish samples was developed using magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs). These polymers can be easily collected and rapidly separated using an external magnetic field, and also exhibit a high specific recognition for ofloxacin enantiomers. The preparation of amino-functionalized MMIPs was carried out via suspension polymerization and a ring-opening reaction using rac-ofloxacin as a template, ethylenediamine as an active group, glycidyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate as functional monomers, divinylbenzene as a cross-linker, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles as magnetic cores. The characteristics of the MMIPs were assessed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements. Furthermore, the adsorption properties were determined using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The conditions for use of these MMIPs as magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) sorbents, including pH, adsorption time, desorption time, and eluent, were investigated in detail. An extraction method using MMIPs coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for the determination of ofloxacin enantiomers in fish samples. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) for the developed method were 0.059 and 0.067 μg∙mL−1 for levofloxacin and dextrofloxacin, respectively. The recovery of ofloxacin enantiomers ranged from 79.2% ± 5.6% to 84.4% ± 4.6% and ofloxacin enantiomers had good linear relationships within the concentration range of 0.25–5.0 μg∙mL−1 (R2 > 0.999). The obtained results demonstrate that MSPE-HPLC is a promising approach for preconcentration, purification, and simultaneous separation of ofloxacin enantiomers in biomatrix samples.

Abstract
A large number of pesticides are chiral and reach the environment as mixtures of optical isomers or enantiomers. Agricultural practices can affect differently the environmental fate of the individual enantiomers. We investigated how amending an agricultural soil with composted olive-mill waste (OMWc) or its biochar (BC) at 2% (w:w) affected the sorption, degradation, and leaching of each of the two enantiomers of the chiral fungicide metalaxyl. Sorption of metalaxyl enantiomers was higher on BC (Kd ≈ 145 L kg(-1)) than on OMWc (Kd ≈ 22 L kg(-1)) and was not enantioselective in either case, and followed the order BC-amended>OMWc-amended>unamended soil. Both enantiomers showed greater resistance to desorption from BC-amended soil compared to unamended and OMWc-amended soil. Dissipation studies revealed that the degradation of metalaxyl was more enantioselective (R>S) in unamended and OMWc-amended soil than in BC-amended soil. The leaching of both S- and R-metalaxyl from soil columns was almost completely suppressed after amending the soil with BC and metalaxyl residues remaining in the soil columns were more racemic than those in soil column leachates. Our findings show that addition of BC affected the final enantioselective behavior of metalaxyl in soil indirectly by reducing its bioavailability through sorption, and to a greater extent than OMWc. BC showed high sorption capacity to remove metalaxyl enantiomers from water, immobilize metalaxyl enantiomers in soil, and mitigate the groundwater contamination problems particularly associated with the high leaching potential of the more persistent enantiomer.

Abstract
Glyphosate formulations that are used as a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide have been widely applied in agriculture, causing increasing concerns about residues in soils. In this study, the degradation dynamics of glyphosate in different types of citrus orchard soils in China were evaluated under field conditions. Glyphosate soluble powder and aqueous solution were applied at 3000 and 5040 g active ingredient/hm2, respectively, in citrus orchard soils, and periodically drawn soil samples were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that the amount of glyphosate and its degradation product aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in soils was reduced with the increase of time after application of glyphosate formulations. Indeed, the amount of glyphosate in red soil from Hunan and Zhejiang Province, and clay soil from Guangxi Province varied from 0.13 to 0.91 µg/g at 42 days after application of aqueous solution. Furthermore, the amount of glyphosate in medium loam from Zhejiang and Guangdong Province, and brown loam from Guizhou Province varied from less than 0.10 to 0.14 µg/g, while the amount of AMPA varied from less than 0.10 to 0.99 µg/g at 42 days after application of soluble powder. Overall, these findings demonstrated that the degradation dynamics of glyphosate aqueous solution and soluble powder as well as AMPA depend on the physicochemical properties of the applied soils, in particular soil pH, which should be carefully considered in the application of glyphosate herbicide.

Abstract
In this study, selective degradations of the two enantiomers of indoxacarb in the concentrate (2.33S/1R) and racemate (1S/1R) are examined. The absolute configurations of indoxacarb enantiomers were determined using X-ray diffraction. The results showed that in two alkaline soils, the S-(+)-indoxacarb was preferentially degraded in both the concentrate and racemate. In one acid soil, the two enantiomers degraded no-selectivity. In another acid soil and one neutral soil, the R-(-)-indoxacarb was preferentially degraded in both the concentrate and racemate. Indoxacarb enantiomers were configurationally stable in the five soils, and no interconversion was observed during the incubation. Because no significant difference in degradation was observed after samples were sterilized, the observed enantioselectivity may be attributed primarily to microbial activity in soils. The results indicate that the selective degradation behavior was the same for both formulations that were tested.
