Multi-Residue Determination of Organic Arsenical Drugs in Feeds by LC-MS/MS
Multi-Residue Determination of Organic Arsenical Drugs in Feeds by LC-MS/MS Geneviève Grenier, Melanie Titley & Lise-Anne Prescott AAFCO Laboratory Methods and Services Committee meeting 2016-01-18 Background • Animal Feed Division of CFIA identified a high priority need for the determination of three organic arsenicals (arsanilic acid, roxarsone and nitarsone) at residue levels in animal feed • These are withdrawal drugs and are priority food contaminants • Current test methods are at guarantee levels greater than 10% minimum use rate • Therefore, current methods not well suited for residue or traceback testing • Requested feed residue LOQ of 1 mg/kg for all three organic arsenicals 2 Background • UHPLC-PDA Challenges • Extract were very dirty • Tried sample clean-up using Oasis MAX SPE • Still very dirty • HPLC Challenges • Compounds elute too easily • Analytical column must : retain and separate compounds, and give good peak shape • Analytical column : Phenomenex Onyx Monolithic C18 100 X 3.0mm 3 Background • LC/MS/MS method (positive mode) • Column: Phenomenex Onyx Monolithic C18 100 X 3.0mm • Linearity problems with Internal Standard (IS) • Internal standard – 4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid • Peak area of the internal standard increased with increasing analyte concentration • Cause • 4-hydroxyphenyl arsanic acid co-elute with Arsanilic acid and have similar m/z 4 New method - summary • Liquid chromatography combined with atomic and molecular mass spectrometry for speciation of arsenic in chicken liver.

Arsenical Timeline Final Proofed
Backgrounder: FDA and Pfizer’s Collusion to Downplay Effects of Arsenicals in the U.S. Chicken Supply This document summarizes the FDA’s actions after learning that inorganic arsenic, a human carcinogen, was potentially present in the U.S. chicken supply and the FDA’s eventual decision to conduct its own study. It then discusses FDA’s relationship with Pfizer throughout this process and after the study results were made available. It details how the extremely close working relationship led to considerable collusion between the FDA and Pfizer in delaying the public release of the FDA’s study and in creating a coordinated media strategy, which included Pfizer supplying the actual content of the FDA’s media statements in order to minimize the impact of the announcement. The FDA has approved arsenical drugs for use in chickens, turkeys and pigs. These drugs have been approved for multiple purposes, including growth promotion, improved pigmentation and to treat, control and prevent animal diseases, such as coccidiosis, a parasitic infection of the intestinal track in poultry that can lead to death.1 The FDA has recognized organic arsenic as safe, while inorganic arsenic is considered a carcinogen. Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic may lead to the development of lung, bladder or skin cancer, and is also associated with 1 Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Questions and Answers Regarding 3-Nitro (Roxarsone) (2011). Available at http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/ProductSafetyInformation/ucm2583 13.htm. cardiovascular disease.2 Inorganic arsenic exposure may also lead to diabetes, neurological problems in children and adverse pregnancy outcomes.3 Because there are a variety of sources of inorganic arsenic in food (including rice and apple juice), the FDA attempts to monitor these sources.4 Alpharma Inc. -

1 Study 318.41 Executive Summary Organic-Based Arsenical
Study 318.41 Executive Summary Organic-based arsenical compounds have been used in chickens since March 21, 1944, when the drug 3-Nitro® was approved. The active ingredient in 3-Nitro® is a chemical called roxarsone. Roxarsone and other organic arsenicals (nitarsone, arsanilic acid, and carbarsone) were approved for use in chickens for growth promotion, feed efficiency and improved pigmentation. The organic arsenicals, especially roxarsone, were approved in combination with other drugs such as narasin or salinomycin to prevent coccidiosis, a parasitic disease infecting the intestinal tracts in chickens which can lead to death. When 3-Nitro® (roxarsone) and the other organic arsenicals were approved, it was assumed that only organic arsenic and not inorganic arsenic would be excreted from the chickens. Organic arsenic compounds are much less toxic than inorganic arsenic, which is a known human carcinogen. Inorganic arsenic exists in two forms, arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) (pronounced arsenic-3, or trivalent arsenic, and arsenic 5, or pentavalent arsenic, respectively). The number refers to the number of electrons that elemental arsenic can donate to form other compounds. Humans (and other animals) can convert arsenic (V) to arsenic (III), which increases arsenic’s toxicity and retention by the body. In response to scientific reports that organic arsenicals could be transformed by the body into inorganic arsenic, scientists in FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, in collaboration with scientists from FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition undertook a study to address this question; can an approved organic arsenical (3-Nitro®; roxarsone) when incorporated into chicken feed and fed to chickens according to approved label directions, result in the presence of inorganic arsenic in edible tissues? Using state-of-the art technology, FDA scientists were able to develop and validate a new analytical method that had the necessary sensitivity and specificity to detect and quantify the low levels of inorganic arsenic that were expected to be in edible tissues.
