Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prochloraz has been widely used as an imidazole fungicide on fruits and vegetables in Korea. Analytical approaches to evaluate prochloraz residues in herbal medicine are required for their safety management. In this study, we developed a GC-ECD method for quantitative determination of prochloraz in Platycodi Radix. The metabolite 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-T) was used as a target compound to evaluate total prochloraz residues as it is categorized to a representative residue definition of prochloraz. All residues containing 2,4,6-T were converted to 2,4,6-T and subjected to GC-ECD. METHODS AND RESULTS: In order to verify the applicability, the method was optimized for determining prochloraz and it metabolite 2,4,6-T in Platycodi Radix. Prochloraz and its metabolite 2,4,6-T residuals were extracted using acetone. The extract was diluted with and partitioned directly into dichloromethane to remove polar co-extractives in the aqueous phase. The extract was decomposed to 2,4,6-T, and then the partitioned ion-associate was finally purified by optimized aminopropyl solid-phase extraction (SPE). The limits of quantitation of the method (MLOQs) were 0.04 mg/kg and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively for prochloraz and 2,4,6-T, considering the maximum residue level (MRL) of prochloraz as 0.05 mg/kg in Platycodi Radix. Recovery tests were carried out at two levels of concentration (MLOQ, 10 MLOQ) and resulted in good recoveries (82.1-89.7%). Good reproducibilities were obtained (coefficient of variation < 2.8%), and the linearities of calibration curves were reasonable (r2 > 0.9986) in the range of 0.005-0.5 ㎍/mL. CONCLUSION(S): The method developed in this study was successfully validated to meet the guidelines required for quantitative determination of pesticides in herbal medicine. Thus, the method could be useful to monitor prochloraz institutionally in herbal medicine.

본 연구는 한약재 길경 중 Imidazole계 살균제 prochloraz 및 그 대사체 2,4,6-T의 잔류분석법을 확립하였다. 한약재 중 길경을 대표 시료로 선정하고 GC-ECD를 이용한 prochloraz 정량 시험법을 개발하였다. 한약재 길경 중 prochloraz 잔류물을 acetone로 추출하고, dichloromethane로 분배하고 pyridine hydoxyde를 이용하여 분해한 뒤, 이온억압 분배과정 후, NH2 cartridge로 정제하였다. 한약재 길경 중 prochloraz의 경우 정량한계는 0.04 mg/kg으로 결정되었으며, MLOQ 수준의 회수율은 89.7%, MLOQ 10배 수준에서는 82.5%의 우수한 회수율을 보였으며, 분석오차는 최대 2.8%로 재현성 역시 양호하였다. 2,4,6-T의 경우 정량한계는 0.02 mg/kg으로 결정되었으며, MLOQ 수준의 회수율은 83.0%, MLOQ 10배 수준에서는 82.1%의 우수한 회수율을 보였으며, 분석오차는 최대 2.8%로 재현성 역시 양호하였다. 본 연구에서 확립한 prochloraz 및 그 대사체 2,4,6-T의 잔류분석법은 국내·외 한약재의 잔류농약 검사 및 분석에 적용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
