Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of analytical detection technology, specifically to a method for detecting arecoline residues in biological samples and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Areca catechu (Areca catechum μ L.) is an evergreen tree belonging to the Areca genus of the palm family. Medicinal areca catechu (Arecae Semen, AS) refers to the dried, mature seeds of the Areca catechu plant. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia describes it as the mature fruit from late summer to early autumn, dried, with the pericarp removed, and the seeds extracted. Areca catechu is one of the "Four Great Southern Chinese Medicines," and it enters the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine meridians, possessing insecticidal, digestive, diuretic, and antimalarial effects. Jujube areca catechu (also known as areca kernel, tender areca catechu, areca seed, green areca catechu, etc.) is the immature seed of the Areca catechu plant, sharing the same source and matrix as the medicinal areca catechu in the Pharmacopoeia, differing only in maturity. Areca catechu and / or jujube areca catechu contain various chemical components such as alkaloids, polyphenols, and flavonoids. Characteristic alkaloids, such as arecoline and arecaine, are among the main active substances in areca catechu.
[0003] Bioresidue detection is a scientific method that analyzes residual microorganisms, antibiotics, pesticides, and other substances in samples to assess their impact on food safety, environmental health, or pharmaceutical quality.

[0066] 5. Test Results
[0067] 5.1 Specificity
[0068] from Figures 1-4 It can be seen that arecoline and internal standard were not detected in the blank tissue sample. The chromatographic peak responses of the standard at the limit of quantitation concentration added to the blank tissue, as well as the target compound and internal standard in the drug sample, were good. The results indicate that the endogenous substances in the blank tissue did not significantly interfere with the chromatographic peak responses of arecoline and internal standard. No interfering peaks were present in the MRM monitoring mode. The chromatographic mass spectrometry conditions are suitable for the analysis of the analytes.
[0069] 5.2 Lower limit of quantification
[0070] Muscle: The signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of the arecoline muscle matrix standard solution at 2 ng / mL is 12.3, and that at 1 ng / mL is 5.0. Therefore, the limit of quantification is 2 ng / mL. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 5 .
[0071] Sebum: The signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of the arecoline sebum matrix standard solution at 4 ng / mL is 30.3, and that at 2 ng / mL is 7.7. Therefore, the limit of quantification is 4 ng / mL. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 6 .
[0072] Liver: The signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of the arecoline liver matrix standard solution at 4 ng / mL was 50.8, and that at 2 ng / mL was 10.1. However, the peak difference significantly interfered with quantification; therefore, the lower limit of quantification was set at 4 ng / mL. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 7 .
[0073] Kidney: The signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of the arecoline kidney matrix standard solution at 4 ng / mL is 45.4, and that at 2 ng / mL is 9.4. Therefore, the limit of quantification is 4 ng / mL. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 8 .
[0074] 5.3 Standard Curve
[0075] Arecoline exhibits good linearity in different tissues, R 2 ≥0.999, the regression equation and other parameters are shown in Table 1.
[0076]
[0077] 5.4 Accuracy and Precision
[0078] Table 2 shows the intra-batch and inter-batch accuracy and precision results of arecoline in different tissues. The data shows that arecoline has good accuracy and precision. The accuracy meets the requirements at all four concentration levels, and the precision RSD is less than 15%.
[0079]
[0080] 5.5 Matrix effect
[0081] The matrix effect verification results are shown in Table 3. The results show that the average matrix effect of arecoline at high and low quality control concentrations is between 88.6% and 106.26% (the matrix effect coefficient of variation satisfies RSD ≤15%), and the matrix effect has little impact on the response of arecoline.
[0082]
[0083] 5.6 Stability
[0084] The stability results of arecoline in different tissues under different environments are shown in Table 4. As can be seen from the table, after being placed in the injector environment (8℃) and room temperature (22℃) for 24 hours, the mean of each concentration level deviated from the labeled concentration within ±15%. The sample still showed good stability after repeated freeze-thaw cycles at -40℃ and after being stored at -40℃ for 30 days.
[0085]
[0086] VI. Conclusion
[0087] The assay method was systematically validated with reference to the "Guiding Principles for Validation of Quantitative Analysis Methods for Biological Samples" under the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the "Guiding Principles for Veterinary Drug Residue Elimination Tests". The results showed that all indicators met the requirements and the method was feasible.
[0088] Example 2: Detection of arecoline residue in edible tissues of broiler chickens
[0089] I. Animal grouping and administration
[0090] The experiment used 480 healthy 1-day-old Kobo broiler roosters, randomly divided into 4 treatments, with 8 replicates per treatment and 15 chickens per replicate. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The 4 treatment groups were supplemented with 0, 1000, 5000, and 10000 mg / kg ASE in their basal diet, respectively, and were designated A0, A1, A2, and A3.
[0091] II. Sample Collection
[0092] 2.1 Sampling time point setting and number of animals
[0093] According to the relevant provisions of the "Guidelines for Veterinary Drug Residue Elimination Tests", the experimental group should have a sampling point on the day of drug withdrawal (2-6 hours after withdrawal in poultry tissue), and the residue level at the last sampling point should be below the limit. Four sampling points were set up, namely 0 (6 h), 1, 2 and 5 days after drug withdrawal, with at least 6 chickens at each point. The control group only sampled on day 0.
[0094] 2.2 Sample Collection
[0095] Collect 100g-200g of broiler muscle (breast muscle) and 20g of skin fat at each sampling point. Collect whole liver and whole kidney. Do not wash or process the collected samples. Immediately divide the collected samples into several equal portions, package and label them, and store them on dry ice immediately. Transfer them to a freezer at -20℃ or -80℃.

[0098] 3.1 Results of the low-dose group

[0101] 3.2 Results of the medium-dose group
[0102] Table 7 shows the residual arecoline levels in the tissues of the medium-dose group (5000 mg / kg). Experimental data indicate that the residual arecoline level in the muscle of the medium-dose group was 4.79 ± 0.21 μg / kg at day 0 after drug withdrawal. No arecoline residues were detected in the remaining tissues of the medium-dose group in subsequent tests.
[0103]
[0104] 3.3 Results of the high-dose group
[0105] Table 8 shows the residual arecoline levels in tissues of the high-dose group (10000 mg / kg). Experimental data indicate that the residual arecoline level in muscle tissue of the high-dose group was 5.64 ± 0.32 μg / kg at day 0 after drug withdrawal and 4.45 ± 0.27 μg / kg at day 1 after drug withdrawal; the residual arecoline level in subcutaneous fat tissue was 10.50 ± 0.68 μg / kg at day 0 after drug withdrawal; and no arecoline residues were detected in other tissues of the high-dose group.
[0106]
