Pesticide residues pose a great threat to human health. Biomonitoring with urine samples has often been used to assess pesticide exposure to humans, and identifying appropriate biomarkers is a premise of success. Current-use pesticides (CUPs) including neonicotinoids tend to be transformed in an organism, and thus the biomonitoring studies focusing on parent compounds alone may underestimate their risk. It is imperative to develop effective methods to analyze CUPs and their metabolites simultaneously and to identify viable metabolites as urinary biomarkers. For analyzing xenobiotics in urine, we optimized CH3COCH3-MgSO4 extraction coupled with a high-performance liquid chromatog.-tandem mass spectrometry detection method. The method had sensitive method detection limits (0.11-1.39 ng/mL), low matrix effects, and satisfactory recovery and precision (49.4% ± 7.2%-99.8% ± 17.8%) for neonicotinoids and their metabolites. Application of the method for real samples showed that children living in rural areas in South China were ubiquitously exposed to CUPs, including neonicotinoids, fipronil, and chlorpyrifos, and urinary residues were mainly in the form of metabolites. Suitable biomarkers were identified for individual neonicotinoids, including imidacloprid-olefin and imidacloprid-guanidine for imidacloprid, acetamiprid-N-desmethyl for acetamiprid, thiacloprid-amide for thiacloprid, and N-desmethyl-thiamethoxam and thiamethoxam for thiamethoxam. Three metabolites were mainly reported in urine samples, including imidacloprid-urea, thiacloprid-amide, and N-desmethyl-thiamethoxam. In addition, the method was also applied for suspect screening, and an addnl. metabolite (clothianidin-desmethyl-nitrosoguanidine) was identified, showing its potential application in suspect anal. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,2-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ol (cas: 1563-38-8Reference of 1563-38-8).
2,2-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ol (cas: 1563-38-8) belongs to benzofurans derivatives.Benzofuran is one of the most significant oxygen-containing heterocycles consisting of fused benzene and furan ring, which are widely presented in various naturally occurring and synthetically active compounds. As benzofurans are prone to undergo ring opening of the heterocycle, examples of reduction of this type of aromatics by using dissolving metals are rather scarce.Reference of 1563-38-8
