Pesticides Curbing Soil Fertility: Effect of Complexation of Free Metal Ions.

ABSTRACT: Researchers have suggested that the reason behind infertility is pernicious effect of broad spectrum pesticides on non target, beneficial microorganism of soil. Here, studying the chelating effect of selective organophosphate and carbamate pesticides with essential metal ions, at all possible combinations of three different pH (4 ± 0.05, 7 ± 0.05 and 9 ± 0.05) and three different temperatures (15 ± 0.5°C, 30 ± 0.5°C and 45 ± 0.5°C), shows very fast rate of reaction which further increases with increase of pH and temperature. Carbonyl oxygen of carbamate and phosphate oxygen of organophosphate were found to be common ligating sites among all the complexes. Formed metal complexes were found to be highly stable and water insoluble on interaction with essential metal ions in solvent medium as well as over silica. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations not only reinforced the experimental observations, but, after a wide computational conformational analysis, unraveled the nature of the high stable undesired species that consist of pesticides complexed by metal ions from the soil. All in all, apart from the direct toxicity of pesticides, the indirect effect by means of complexation of free metal ions impoverishes the soil.

Project description:Drug adulteration and contamination are serious threats to human health therefore, their accurate monitoring is very important. Allopurinol (Alp) and theophylline (Thp) are commonly used drugs for the treatment of gout and bronchitis, while their isomers hypoxanthine (Hyt) and theobromine (Thm) have no effect and affect the efficacy of the drug. In this work, the drug isomers of Alp/Hyt and Thp/Thm are simply mixed with α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrin (CD) and metal ions and separated using trapped ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (TIMS-MS). TIMS-MS results showed that Alp/Hyt and Thp/Thm isomers could interact with CD and metal ions and form corresponding binary or ternary complexes to achieve their TIMS separation. Different metal ions and CDs showed different separation effect for the isomers, among which Alp and Hyt could be successfully distinguished from the complexes of [Alp/Hyt+γ-CD + Cu–H]+ with separation resolution (RP–P) of 1.51; whereas Thp and Thm could be baseline separated by [Thp/Thm+γ-CD + Ca–H]+ with RP–P of 1.96. Besides, chemical calculations revealed that the complexes were in the inclusion forms, and microscopic interactions were somewhat different, making their mobility separation. Moreover, relative and absolute quantification was investigated with an internal standard to determine the precise isomers content, and good linearity (R2 > 0.99) was obtained. Finally, the method was applied for the adulteration detection where different drugs and urine were analyzed. In addition, due to the advantages of fast speed, simple operation, high sensitivity, and no chromatographic separation required, the proposed method provides an effective strategy for the drug adulteration detection of isomers. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • Alp/Thp and Hyt/Thm isomers were analyzed by ion mobility.• Alp/Hyt were distinguished by [Alp/Hyt+γ-CD + Cu–H]+ with Rp-p of 1.51.• Thp/Thm was baseline separated by [Thp/Thm+γ-CD + Ca–H]+ with Rp-p of 1.96.• Quantification for the isomers was measured with internal standard.• Alp/Hyt and Thp/Thm drugs were adulteration analysis in drugs and urine.
