Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of antibiotic detection, and in particular to a method for synchronously detecting 42 kinds of antibiotics in multiple environmental media of an estuary. Background Art

[0002] Antibiotics are a class of secondary metabolites produced by certain microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes) or higher animals and plants during their life activities. They have anti-pathogen or other activities and are chemical substances that can interfere with the developmental functions of other cells. Antibiotics are widely used. In addition to being used to treat bacterial infections, they can also be used for anti-fungal, anti-tumor, and immunosuppression. Since their advent, they have played an important role in human health and animal husbandry. However, due to the irrational use of antibiotics by humans, antibiotic pollution problems have emerged in an endless stream. Studies have shown that 40% to 90% of antibiotics are discharged directly or indirectly into the environment through original drugs or active ingredients. At present, antibiotics have been widely detected in various environmental media such as the global atmosphere, water bodies, sediments, and organisms. These antibiotics entering the environment may pose a threat to the ecosystem, leading to changes in the structure and diversity of biological communities, and even the production of drug-resistant bacteria, which has attracted widespread attention from the international community.

[0003] With the progress of pollution control actions, higher requirements have been put forward for the rapid, accurate, sensitive and reliable monitoring and analysis of antibiotic content in various sources and multiple environmental matrices. Only by accurately monitoring the content of antibiotics can we accurately assess their potential ecological and health risks, trace the source of pollution, and explore the migration and transformation mechanism. Some antibiotics have been included in the priority control list in many countries and regions due to their high persistence and use history, high frequency of detection and potential ecological and health risks. For example, the top five priority controlled antibiotics in global rivers include amoxicillin, sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin dehydrate, trimethoprim and sulfapyridine. However, at present, my country has only established standard methods for the detection of a certain type of antibiotics for cosmetics, food and water bodies. Existing literature and patents have increased the types of antibiotics detected in environmental media such as soil and sludge, but there are many types of antibiotics and their physical and chemical properties vary greatly. Existing methods are difficult to achieve simultaneous and efficient detection of different antibiotics, and there are limitations in practical applications. Compared with water bodies and the atmosphere, solid matrices such as soil, sediment (including sludge) and dust are relatively complex and more likely to accumulate antibiotics, especially in the complex ecosystem of estuaries, which are severely affected by the interaction between salt and fresh water and human activities. How to separate and detect trace amounts of antibiotics from the complex environmental media in the estuary area and ensure the precision and accuracy of the measurement is one of the problems that urgently need to be solved.

[0004] At present, highly sensitive liquid chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry is widely used to detect antibiotics, but it is necessary to enrich and concentrate the antibiotics in environmental samples in advance to reduce the interference of impurities. However, the pretreatment conditions for the extraction and purification of antibiotics in complex environmental media vary greatly, and most studies use solid phase extraction pretreatment that requires a large amount of solvent and nitrogen blowing, which is time-consuming. It is urgent to establish an efficient, rapid, highly sensitive, and low-detection limit antibiotic simultaneous extraction and analysis method for complex environmental matrices, which is of great significance for the comprehensive evaluation of the pollution status of antibiotics in estuarine environmental media. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for the simultaneous detection of 42 antibiotics in multiple environmental media in estuaries, so as to solve the problem that existing detection methods are difficult to achieve simultaneous and efficient detection of many different antibiotics, especially for trace detection in complex environmental media in estuary areas; and the problem that the pretreatment conditions for the extraction and purification of antibiotics in existing complex environmental media vary greatly, are difficult to unify, and the pretreatment process is complicated.

[0063] Example 1

[0064] (1) Sample pretreatment: The sediments from the Yangtze River Estuary were freeze-dried, ground, and passed through a 100-mesh sieve. The sieved samples were then stored at -20°C.

[0065] (2) Extraction of organic matter: 2 g of the pretreated sediment sample was placed in a 50-mL polypropylene centrifuge tube, and 5 mL of phosphate buffer (containing phosphoric acid and sodium dihydrogen phosphate, pH 3) and 5 mL of a methanol-acetonitrile mixture with a volume concentration of 5% formic acid (1:1, v:v) were added. The tube was vortexed and mixed at 1000 rpm for 1 min. Ultrasonic extraction was performed at a power of 40 kHz for 15 min in a water bath at room temperature, and then centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 6 min. The ultrasonic extraction and centrifugation were repeated three times, and the supernatants were combined.

[0066] (3) Concentration of organic matter: The combined supernatant was aspirated with a glass needle filter and filtered through a 0.45 μm organic phase nylon filter to remove particulate matter. The filtrate was poured into a parallel quantitative concentrator and ammonia water was added to adjust the pH to 5.

The concentrated solution was diluted with 20 mL of ultrapure water, and the volume content of the organic solvent in the diluted solution was 4.8%.

[0067] (3) Organic separation and purification: Activate the balanced HLB column (500 mg, 6 mL) with 6 mL of methanol and 6 mL of ultrapure water in turn. Keep the column head moist during the addition of solvent for activation to remove the solvent and impurities remaining on the column. Use a glass pipette to repeatedly absorb the above dilution to rinse the inner wall of the concentration cup (to reduce the error), and then use a pipette to transfer the dilution to the HLB column. Let the dilution flow through the HLB column under negative pressure at a rate of 1 drop / s. Elute the solid phase extraction column with 10 mL of ultrapure water. At this time, all the target objects are fixed on the HLB column, and the previous samples and eluents are discarded. Continue to vacuum for 30 minutes to drain the HLB column to allow the impurities and eluent to flow out completely. The HLB column was eluted with 2 mL of 1% formic acid / methanol and 2 mL of 5% ammonia / methanol solution in turn, and the eluate was collected in a 15 mL glass centrifuge tube. The collected eluate was concentrated to 0.5 mL by nitrogen blowing on a parallel quantitative concentrator. The concentrate was aspirated with a glass syringe and passed through a 0.22 μm organic phase filter membrane, then transferred to a 2 mL brown glass injection vial, 20 ng of a mixture of 5 antibiotic internal standards (sulfamethoxazole-d4, tetracycline-d6, roxithromycin-d7, fleroxacin-d3, chloramphenicol-d5) was added, and then the volume was made up to 1 mL with 10% methanol aqueous solution and stored at 4°C for testing.

[0068] (4) Determination of antibiotics: Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect the test solution. The liquid chromatography conditions were as follows: the chromatographic column was an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm × 1.7 μm), the column flow rate was 0.4 mL / min, and the injection volume was 2 μL. The mobile phase A in the positive ion mode was 0.1% formic acid water, the mobile phase B was methanol / acetonitrile (v / v, 3 / 7), and the mobile phase gradient elution conditions were as follows: 0-0.5 min, 10% B phase, 0.5-3 min, B phase increased to 40%, 3-6 min, B phase increased to 70%, 6-8 min, B phase increased to 95%, 8-10 min, B phase decreased to 10%; the mobile phase A in the negative ion mode was ultrapure water, and the mobile phase B was acetonitrile. The mobile phase gradient elution conditions were: 0-0.2 min, 5% phase B, 0.2-4 min, phase B increased to 90%, 4-5 min, phase B maintained at 70%, 5-6.5 min, phase B decreased to 5%.

[0069] Drawing of standard curve: 42 kinds of antibiotics were mixed with standard solutions of 1μg / L, 2μg / L, 5μg / L, 10μg / L, 20μg / L, 50μg / L and 100μg / L respectively using methanol-water solution (the above concentrations represent the concentration of each antibiotic). The same liquid chromatography conditions and mass spectrometry conditions were used for ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry detection, and the standard curve of the target antibiotic concentration and peak area was drawn according to the internal standard method. The correlation coefficient R of the obtained 42 kinds of antibiotics standard curves was 2 All of them are greater than 0.99, which can be used for actual sample testing and accurate quantitative analysis.

[0070] The mass spectrometry parameters and chromatographic peak time of the antibiotics in Example 1 are shown in Table 1.

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] The method of steps (1) to (4) was used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of antibiotics in the sediments of the Yangtze River Estuary. Data quality control was performed using parallel sample detection, matrix spike and other methods, that is, at least one blank sample, one matrix spike and one parallel sample were made for every 10 samples. No sample was added to the blank test, and the other conditions were the same as the detection conditions of the sample to be tested. The blank test was repeated 7 times, and the standard deviation of the target content values ​​of 7 parallel determinations was calculated, and multiplied by the t value (6 degrees of freedom) when the confidence level was 99% to obtain the method detection limit (MDL). The actual sample was randomly selected, 40 ng of 42 kinds of target mixed standard solutions (20 μL, mixed standard concentration was 2000 μg / L) were added, and the matrix spike test was performed. The method for the sample to be tested was repeated 3 times. The actual sample was randomly selected, 2 parallel samples were weighed, and the determination was repeated 3 times according to the above method, and the relative standard deviation of the parallel samples was calculated. The experimental results of each type of sample were analyzed and processed, and the results are shown in Table 2.

The recovery rates of antibiotics by different extraction solutions are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shown.

[0081] Comparative Example 2

[0082] The number of ultrasonic times in the extraction in Example 1 was replaced from 3 times to 1 time, and the other conditions were the same as in Example 1.

[0083] Example 2

[0084] The number of ultrasonic times in the extraction of Example 1 was replaced by 2 times instead of 3 times, and the other conditions were the same as those of Example 1. The recovery rate of antibiotics with different ultrasonic times is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 shown.

[0085] Comparative Example 3

[0086] The ultrasonic time in the extraction of Example 1 was replaced from 15 min to 10 min and 20 min, and the other conditions were the same as those in Example 1. The recovery rate of antibiotics at different ultrasonic times was as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0087] Comparative Example 4

[0088] The elution solvent (reagent for the second elution) of the organic solid phase extraction purification in Example 1 was replaced by 1% formic acid / methanol + 5% ammonia / methanol in equal volumes with 1% formic acid / methanol, 5% ammonia methanol, methanol + 5% ammonia methanol, and methanol / acetonitrile (1:1) (the above concentrations and ratios are all volume concentrations and volume ratios), and other conditions were the same as in Example 1.
