TY - JOUR A1 - Mekonnen, Tessema Fenta A1 - Panne, Ulrich A1 - Koch, Matthias T1 - Electrochemistry coupled online to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for fast simulation of biotransformation reactions of the insecticide chlorpyrifos N2 - An automated method is presented for fast simulation of (bio)transformation products (TPs) of the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos CPF)based on electrochemistry coupled online to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (EC-LC-MS). Oxidative TPs were produced by a boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode, separated by reversed phase HPLC and online detected by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Furthermore, EC oxidative TPs were investigated by HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and FT-ICR high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and compared to in-vitro assay metabolites (rat and human liver microsomes). Main phase I metabolites of CPF: chlorpyrifos oxon (CPF oxon), trichloropyridinol (TCP), diethylthiophosphate (DETP), diethylphosphate (DEP), desethyl chlorpyrifos (De-CPF), and desethyl chlorpyrifos oxon (De-CPF oxon), were successfully identified by the developed EC-LC-MS method. The EC-LC-MS method showed similar metabolites compared to the in-vitro assay with possibilities of determining reactive species. Our results reveal that online EC-(LC)-MS brings an advantage on time of analysis by eliminating sample preparation steps and Matrix complexity compared to conventional in-vivo or in-vitro methods.

We report here new photodegradation products (PPs) of the fungicide fluopyram. The PPs were produced by irradiating a fluopyram standard in 0.1% acetonitrile aqueous media by a 150-W medium pressure Hg-lamp that emits wavelengths between 200–280 nm. The structural elucidation of PPs was achieved by combining the retention time, isotopic pattern, targeted fragmentation, and accurate mass measurements using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and high resolution-MS (HRMS). In addition to previously known PPs, seven new PPs of fluopyram were identified in this work: mainly dihydroxyl and hydroxylimide fluopyram as well as mono, di, and trihydroxyl lactam. Additionally, two PPs were found to be formed by rearrangement after the loss of H2C=CH2. Hence, the results of the work contribute to extending the current knowledge regarding the photoinduced fate of agrochemicals, and fluopyram in particular.
