A capillary electrophoresis (CE) method coupled with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection for the analysis of glyphosate (GLY) and its major metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is presented. Complete separation of GLY and AMPA was achieved in 8 min using a background electrolyte of 20 mM sodium phosphate (pH 9.0) and a separation voltage of 21 kV. ECL detection was performed with an indium tin oxide (ITO) working electrode bias at 1.6 V (vs. a Pt-wire reference) in a 30 0mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) containing 3.5mM Ru(bpy)3 2+ (where bpy=2.2'-bipyridyl). Linear correlation (r>or=0.997) between ECL intensity and analyte concentration was obtained in the ranges 0.169-16.9 and 5.55-111 microg ml(-1) for GLY and AMPA, respectively. The limits of detection (LODs) for GLY and AMPA in water were 0.06 microg ml(-1) and 4.04 microg ml(-1), respectively. The developed method was applied to the analysis of GLY in soybeans. The LOD of GLY in soybean was 0.6 microg g(-1). Total analysis time including sample pretreatment was less than 1h.

Background And Purpose: Glyphosate-based herbicides, extensively utilized worldwide, raise concerns regarding potential human risks due to the detection of glyphosate (GLY) in human body fluids. This study aims to address critical knowledge gaps regarding whether GLY undergoes metabolism in humans, particularly considering the limited information available on human metabolism.

Experimental Approach: The study investigated GLY and its metabolites in eight amenity horticultural workers using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) data analysis.

To analyze the correlation between changes in the concentration of glyphosate (GLY) and its metabolites (AMPA) in patients with acute glyphosate poisoning and clinical symptoms, and to provide reference for the study of glyphosate toxicity. Urine samples from 5 patients with oral glyphosate poisoning admitted to the Emergency Department of Yangzhou Third Class A General Hospital from February to July 2021 were collected. Urine concentrations of GLY and AMPA were measured using derivatization gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and analyzed based on the patient's clinical manifestations and treatment process.

Tailoring Defects in B, N-Codoped Carbon Nanowalls for Direct Electrochemical Oxidation of Glyphosate and its Metabolites.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Tailoring the defects in graphene and its related carbon allotropes has great potential to exploit their enhanced electrochemical properties for energy applications, environmental remediation, and sensing. Vertical graphene, also known as carbon nanowalls (CNWs), exhibits a large surface area, enhanced charge transfer capability, and high defect density, making it suitable for a wide range of emerging applications. However, precise control and tuning of the defect size, position, and density remain challenging; moreover, due to their characteristic labyrinthine morphology, conventional characterization techniques and widely accepted quality indicators fail or need to be reformulated.

Article Synopsis
  • - Glyphosate (GLY), a pesticide, significantly increases dopamine release in the rat dorsal striatum, potentially affecting dopamine neurotransmission despite the exact mechanisms remaining unclear.
  • - The study found that the effects of GLY on dopamine release are primarily mediated by NMDA receptors, as blocking these receptors with MK-801 reduced the effect by up to 74%, while other receptor antagonists showed little to no impact.
  • - Additionally, nicotinic receptors also play a role, with mecamylamine (a nicotinic antagonist) decreasing the dopamine release effect of GLY by 49%, indicating that further investigation is needed at environmentally relevant concentrations of the pesticide.
