RESUMO
Enrichment for the detection of quinolone residues is usually cumbersome and requires large amounts of toxic organic reagents. Therefore, this study synthesized a low-toxicity hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (DES) with DL-menthol and p-cresol, which was then characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermal analysis. A simple and rapid vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction method was developed based on this DES for the extraction of eight quinolones from cattle urine. The optimal extraction conditions were screened by examining the DES volume, extraction temperature, vortex time, and salt concentration. Under the optimal conditions, the linear ranges of the eight quinolones were 1 ~ 100 µg/L with good linearity (r2 was 0.998 ~ 0.999), and the limits of detection and quantification were 0.08 ~ 0.30 µg/L and 0.27 ~ 0.98 µg/L, respectively. The average extraction recoveries of spiked cattle urine samples were 70.13 ~ 98.50% with relative standard deviations below 13.97%. This method can provide a reference for the pre-treatment of quinolone residue detection.

Low-dose methotrexate is the first-line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis. In vivo, methotrexate is converted into a series of methotrexate polyglutamates whose intracellular levels contribute significantly to its efficacy and toxicity. In this study, a novel high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated to simultaneously determine erythrocyte methotrexate polyglutamates using stable isotope-labeled internal standards. Erythrocyte samples were precipitated by perchloric acid and then determined on an XBridge BEH C18 column with an XP vanguard precolumn in 12 min. The mobile phase consisted of 10 nM ammonium acetate (pH 10) and methanol under gradient elution. The detection was carried out in multiple reaction monitoring mode via an electrospray ionization source in positive ionization mode. The calibration curve for each metabolite was linear from 2.0 to 500.0 nmol/L (r2 > 0.99). The intraday and interday accuracies were between 93.0 and 107.0%, and the corresponding precisions were between 0.8 and 5.2%. The relative recovery ranged from 82.7 to 105.1%, and the relative matrix effect varied from 96.5 to 104.4%. The erythrocyte metabolites were stable for 30 days at -80°C. This simple and accurate method is applicable to routine monitoring of the concentration of erythrocyte methotrexate polyglutamates in patients to achieve individualized treatment.
