Abstract:

The experiment was conducted to study the residues of altrenogest in swine tissues, preparing for the determination of withdrawal time. The liver and kidney samples were hydrolyzed by β-glucosidase/arysulfatase and extracted by acetonitrile (the muscle and fat samples were extracted by acetonitrile), then the extracting solution were degreased with n-hexane. After being redissolved with ethyl acetate, the supernatant was purified by 10% sodium carbonate solution. Finally, altrenogest was analyzed by LC-MS/MS, and was calibrated by the external method. The results showed that the standard curve was obtained with the correlation coefficients (R2=0.999) in the concentration range of 1-200 ng·mL-1. The limit of quantification for altrenogest was 1.0 μg·kg-1, and the limit of detection for altrenogest was 0.5 μg·kg-1. The recoveries of altrenogest were 68.9%-78.9% at three spiked levels of 1, 100, 200 μg·kg-1 with the relative standard deviations less than 11% (n=6). After the pigs were orally administered altrenogest of 0.4 mg·kg-1 of body weight onetime every day for 18 d, the concentration of in all of the tissues at 6 h was highest; the concentration of altrenogest in fat at 5 d was lower than MRL, while the concentration of altrenogest in muscle and kidney tissues were lower than LOQ; the concentration of altrenogest in all of the tissues at 10 d were lower than LOQ. The order of residue rate was liver > kidney > fat > muscle, and liver was considered as the target organ. The concentration-time dates were analyzed by WT1.4 to get the withdrawal time with 99% upper tolerance limit, the WT advised was 9 d.
