PG - 130-8 LID - 10.1002/dta.1356 [doi] AB - A new and sensitive multi-residue method (MRM) with detection by LC-MS/MS was developed and validated for the screening, determination, and confirmation of residues of 7 nitroimidazoles and 3 of their metabolites in turkey muscle tissues at concentrations >/= 0.05 ng/g. The compounds were extracted into a solvent with an alkali salt. Sample clean-up and concentration was then done by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and the compounds were quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The characteristic parameters including repeatability, selectivity, ruggedness, stability, level of quantification, and level of confirmation for the new method were determined. Method validation was achieved by independent verification of the parameters measured during method characterization. The seven nitroimidazoles included are metronidazole (MTZ), ronidazole (RNZ), dimetridazole (DMZ), tinidazole (TNZ), ornidazole (ONZ), ipronidazole (IPR), and carnidazole (CNZ). It was discovered during the single laboratory validation of the method that five of the seven nitroimidazoles (i.e. metronidazole, dimetridazole, tinidazole, ornidazole and ipronidazole) and the 3 metabolites (1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-hydroxymethyl-5-nitroimidazole (MTZ-OH), 2-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (HMMNI, the common metabolite of ronidazole and dimetridazole), and 1-methyl-2-(2'-hydroxyisopropyl)-5-nitroimidazole (IPR-OH) included in this study could be detected, confirmed, and quantified accurately whereas RNZ and CNZ could only be detected and confirmed but not accurately quantified.
