PG - 3027-40 LID - 10.1007/s00216-010-3523-0 [doi] AB - Penicillins are used universally in both human and veterinary medicine. The European Union (EU) has established maximum residue levels (MRLs) for most ss-lactam antibiotics in milk and animal tissues and included them in the National Residue Monitoring Programs. In this study, a novel method is described for the determination and confirmation of eight penicillins in porcine tissues, milk and animal feed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). To prevent degradation of penicillin residues during workup, a derivatisation procedure was developed, by which penicillins were converted to stable piperidine derivatives. Deuterated piperidine derivatives were synthesised for all relevant penicillins, enabling the use of isotope dilution for accurate quantification. Penicillin residues were derivatised in the crude extract with piperidine and isolated using solid-phase extraction. The penicillin piperidine derivatives were determined by LC-MS/MS. The method was validated at the current MRLs, which range from 25-300 microg kg(-1) in muscle and kidney to 4-30 microg kg(-1) in milk as well as at the target value of 100 microg kg(-1) chosen for animal feed, according to the EU requirements for a quantitative confirmatory method. Accuracy ranged from 94-113% (muscle), 83-111% (kidney) and 87-103% (milk) to 88-116% (animal feed). Intra-day precision (relative standard deviation (RSD)(r)) ranged from 5-13% (muscle, n = 18), 4-17% (kidney, n = 7) and 5-18% (milk, n = 7) to 11-32% (animal feed, n = 18). Inter-day precision (RSD(RL), n = 18) ranged from 6-23% (muscle) to 11-36% (animal feed). From the results, it was concluded that the method was fit for purpose at the target MRLs in animal tissue and target levels for animal feed.
