Published: January 2002

Methodology has been developed for the determination of lasalocid in analytically 'difficult' matrices such as processed and spiced foods. The procedure was based on an existing silica-based solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean-up to which was added a novel NH2 SPE step before HPLC with fluorescence detection. Use of the additional step enabled the determination of lasalocid in matrices such as baby food, meat pies ('pasties'), etc. Analysis of these matrices was not possible using the standard clean-up on its own. Chromatography showed a massive reduction in the amount of co-extractives and interferences. Validation data were obtained down to the 10-40 mg kg(-1) level for a range of products. Recoveries ranged from 74% at 10 microg kg(-1) for pork sausages to 96% at 40 microg kg(-1) for meat pies.

Melanoma poses a significant challenge to patients due to its aggressive nature and limited treatment options. Recent studies have suggested that lasalocid, a feed additive ionophore antibiotic, may have potential as an anticancer agent. However, the mechanism of lasalocid in melanoma is unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • - Lasalocid sodium is an ionophore agent used in poultry as a coccidiostat, but it poses risks for drug residue in eggs, mainly affecting laying hens due to feed contamination.
  • - Different breeds of hens, like Isa Brown and Green-legged Partridge, show significant differences in egg production and may also impact how lasalocid is absorbed and eliminated in their bodies.
  • - The study aimed to establish pharmacokinetic parameters for lasalocid in laying hens, using a crossover design, and found that the absorption rate is low (36%) and varies based on the hen breed.

A series of five esters of lasalocid with neopentyl alcohol (LasNeo), geraniol (LasGeran), 2-ethylhexanol (LasEtHex), eicosanol (LasEico) and vanillyl alcohol (LasVanil) were synthesized and studied by NMR, FT-IR and ESI-MS. Then, their complexes with lithium, sodium and potassium cations were obtained and examined using FT-IR. The analysis of the products confirmed the synthesis of new esters with good yields.

Non-judicious and indiscriminate use of veterinary drugs in animal husbandry may result in accumulation of residues in animal tissues, and consequently in food for human consumption. The abuse of veterinary drugs presents a potential risk to consumer health, especially if the residue level is higher than the health-based guidance value (HBGV) such as the acceptable daily intake (ADI). Contamination of drug residues in food also promotes the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) which poses a serious threat to public health globally.

Analyte stability is more commonly a confounding factor in analytical chemistry than many analysts recognize. In this study, we assessed the stability of 31 common veterinary drugs in water and final extracts of bovine (milk and kidney/liver) and chicken (muscle and egg) matrices. Two different sample preparation methods were evaluated for one-month storage of the final extracts at typical room, refrigerator, and freezer temperatures.
