Quantitative and confirmatory analysis of veterinary drug residues in food of animal origin by UPLC- MS/MS after QuEChERS clean-up Michelle Whelan 1,2 Martin Danaher 1, Ambrose Furey 2. Ashtown Food Research Centre 1, C ork Institute of Technology 2. Topics Covered • ProSafeBeef • Food Safety – Background – Anti-parasitic • Method Development – Existing method – New method – Sample preparation • Method Validation – Milk, Liver and Muscle • Method Performance • Future Work ProSafeBeef ProSafeBeef • Advancing Beef Safety and Quality through Research and Innovation: European Framework Programme 6 • The ProSafeBeef consortium is multidisciplinary and comprised of 41 participants from research institutes, universities, private companies and industry organizations from 13 European countries, as well as Brazil, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. • ProSafeBeef is divided into 7 separate management/research areas • Piller 1 - Quantitative Risk assessment for microbial and chemical contaminants Aim of Chemical Contaminants section 1.4 of Pillar 1 • Develop assays for anthelmintic residues • Transfer method to project partners, QUB, AFBI, IAEA, and Microbioticos • Inter-laboratory studies • Survey of EU beef (n = 1000 samples) • Exposure assessment • Quantitative risk assessment of chemical residues in beef • Dissemination Europe Climates Sampling Plan ProSafeBeef • Important to identify the key anthelmintic drugs and their usage in different animal species • Also need knowledge of the time of application • Risk based approach is more likely to identify non-compliant results and will give greater consumer protection • Sampling is biased and may portray a negative image of food Food Safety Food Safety • Main concern over benzimidazoles is due to their teratogenic properties (males and females) – Research has shown that OFZ causes birth defects if used in pregnant ewes • Secondary metabolite is generally the most toxic – Oxfendazole more toxic than fenbendazole – Hydroxy-mebendazole more toxic than mebendazole Background • National Reference Laboratory for anthelmintic agents. • Veterinary drug residues are tested for at AFRC as part of the National Monitoring Plan. • Anthelmintics important in Ireland due to the extensive nature of farming • In early 2008: Four separate LC methods for anthelmintics in milk and liver (n=19 residues). • No method for flukicide and levamisole • Desired multi method for anthelmintics in milk, liver and muscle • Developed a multi method mid 2008 and demonstrated it at CRL in May 2009 Anthelmintics Anthelmintics drugs are used for controlling the following worms: Nematodes (roundworms) Cestodes (tapeworms) Trematodes (Flukes) Three main classes of drugs used for the treatment are: Benzimidazoles Avermectins Flukicides Economic losses Weight loss Poor wool growth and quality Reduced milk production Method development List of Analytes Abamectin Mebendazole Levamisole Doramectin Hydroxy Mebendazole Coumaphos Emamectin Amino Mebendazole Coumaphos-Oxon Eprinomectin Flubendazole Rafoxanide Ivermectin Hydroxy Flubendazole Oxyclozanide Moxidectin Amino Flubendazole Niclozamide Cambendazole Fenbendazole Nitroxinil Albendazole Fenbendazole Sulphone Bithionol Albendazole Sulphone Oxfendazole Clorsulon Albendazole Sulphoxide Triclabendazole Closantel Albendazole amino Oxibendazole Triclabendazole sulphone Sulphone 5 Hydroxy- Morantel Triclabendazole Thiabendazole Sulphoxide Thiabendazole Haloxon Existing LC-MS/MS method • Quechers sample preparation was developed in USDA by Brian Kinsella • LC-MS/MS method was developed using Agilent 1100 and an Applied Biosystems API 3000 using a Prodigy C18 column, (150 x 3, 5 µm) • Two injections (pos and neg modes) 24 mins each. • Two internal standards • Only detects TCB and TCB-SO • LOQ 5ppb • Kinsella et al. Current UPLC-MS/MS method • Modified sample preparation developed in USDA to detect lower levels – Scaled up Clean up step – Concentration step using DMSO • LC-MS/MS method was developed using Acquity UPLC and Waters MicroMass Quattro Premier XE using a HSS T3 column, (100 x 2.1 mm; 1.8 µm) • ONE injections (covers both pos and neg modes) 12.5 mins • 21 internal standards, 15 Deuterated • Detects all the TCB metabolites • LOQ < 2ppb UPLC Conditions • Column: HSS T3 (100 x 2.1 Time A% B% Curve mm; 1.8 µm) 0.00 100 0 1 • Column Temp. : 60 °C 0.50 100 0 6 • MPA : 0.01% CH 3COOH in 5.00 50 50 6 H 0 + ACN (90 + 10, v/v) 2 7.00 10 90 6 • MPB : 5 mM Ammon.
