AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explored NMR assignments of hydrolyzed products from human blood plasma to understand toxic pesticides.
  • Researchers found that toxic pesticides had higher molecular weights and more hydrogen bond donors/acceptors compared to less toxic ones.
  • The (1)H-NMR analysis revealed specific methyl and methylene resonance patterns in different classes of pesticides, correlating several parameters with their toxicity levels.

Article Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) assignments of hydrolyzed products extracted from human blood plasma. The correlations between chemical, functional and structural properties of highly toxic pesticides were investigated using the PreADME analysis. We observed that toxic pesticides possessed higher molecular weight and, more hydrogen bond donors and acceptors when compared with less toxic pesticides. The occurrence of functional groups and structural properties was analyzed using (1)H-NMR. The (1)H-NMR spectra of the phosphomethoxy class of pesticides were characterized by methyl resonances at 3.7-3.9 ppm (δ) with the coupling constants of 11-16 Hz (JP-CH3 ). In phosphoethoxy pesticides, the methyl resonance was about 1.4 ppm (δ) with the coupling constant of 10 Hz (JP-CH2 ) and the methylene resonances was 4.2-4.4 ppm (δ) with the coupling constant of 0.8 Hz (JP-CH3 ), respectively. Our study shows that the values of four parameters such as chemical shift, coupling constant, integration and relaxation time correlated with the concentration of toxic pesticides, and can be used to characterise the proton groups in the molecular structures of toxic pesticides.
