文摘

The residue kinetics of bacitracin in animals has rarely been quantitatively described due to inadequate sensitivity of analytical methods. A sensitive and selective quantitative liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed to determine the residue depletion kinetics of zinc bacitracin in pigs. The tissues samples were extracted with acidified methanol/water solution (v/v, 1:1, 1 % formic acid) and followed by liquid-liquid extraction with saturated solution of 0.1 mmol dithizone in chloroform. The extracts were subjected to Phenomenex Strata-X cartridges for further cleanup with 0.1 % formic acid in methanol. Analysis was performed on a C₁₈ column with positive-ion electrospray mass spectrometry and multiple-reaction monitoring mode. The product ions at m/z 199 and 227 were selected for bacitracin A confirmation and at 199 for quantification. The developed method was linear in the concentration ranges of 150–4000 μg/L for bacitracin with limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 25 and 50 μg/kg for kidney and 20 and 50 μg/kg for skin with fat, liver, and muscle. The recoveries from different tissues were higher than 82.1 % at three different spiking levels with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 8.8 %. The residue depletion study showed that higher concentration and longer residue time were detected in kidney than in other three tissues. The elimination half-life in kidney was 0.45 days, and the recommended withdrawal period was zero. These results suggest that the established method satisfactorily enables a closer study of residue depletion kinetics of bacitracin in swine.
