RESUMEN
Sulfoxaflor is a widely used fourth-generation neonicotinoid pesticide, which has been detected in biological and environmental samples. Sulfoxaflor can potentially be exposed to humans via the food chain, thus understanding its toxic effects and enantioselective bioaccumulation is crucial. In this study, toxicokinetics, bioaccumulation, tissue distribution and enantiomeric profiles of sulfoxaflor in rats were investigated through single oral exposure and 28-days continuous exposure experiment. Sulfoxaflor mainly accumulated in liver and kidney, and the (-)-2R,3R-sulfoxaflor and (-)-2S,3R-sulfoxaflor had higher enrichment than their enantiomers in rats. The toxicological effects were evaluated after 28-days exposure. Slight inflammation in liver and kidney were observed by histopathology. Sphingolipid, amino acid, and vitamin B6 metabolism pathways were significantly disturbed in metabonomics analysis. These toxicities were in compliance with dose-dependent effects. These results improve understanding of enantioselective bioaccumulation and the potential health risk of sulfoxaflor.

A simple and effective pretreatment method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion was developed for the determination of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) and their metabolites in fish by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The type and amount of dispersant, adsorbent, and eluting solvent were optimized by a single-factor experiment and Box-Behnken design. Under the optimal conditions with 2.5 g of Florisil as a dispersant, 500 mg of C18 as an adsorbent, and 5 mL of acetonitrile as an eluting solvent, the recoveries ranged from 70.4 to 99.9% with relative standard deviations less than 10.5%, and the limits of quantitation ranged from 0.13 to 1.01 µg/kg. The developed method was successfully applied to detect PPCPs in marketed fish, and five PPCPs, including triclocarban, sulfadiazine, sulfadimidine, sulfamethoxazole, and carbamazepine, were detected at trace levels. The proposed method, which has the advantages of short analysis time, less solvent consumption, and high sensitivity, can be used for the determination of trace PPCPs in fish.
