Development of molecularly imprinted polymer based solid phase extraction in combination with simultaneous derivatization and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction of 3-phenoxybenzoic acid in urine followed by GC-MS analysis
Biodiversity & Sustainable Energy Development-2012
An analytical method based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) in combination with simultaneous derivatization and
dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) of 3-phenoxy benzoic acid (3-PBA) in a single step has been developed
followed by its analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). 3-PBA is a metabolite of cypermethrin normally
found in urine, and it is said to be a biomarker for cypermethrin exposure. The method involves the selective extraction of
3-PBA using MIP-solid phase extraction, further preconcentration by using DLLME and simultaneous derivatization by ethyl
chloroformate in order to carry out its analysis in GC-MS. Factors affecting the synthesis of MIP for 3-PBA were evaluated and
the best monomer and cross linker were selected for the synthesis of MIP. Various parameters of MIP-solid phase extraction,
derivatization and DLLME were optimized in order to achieve selective preconcentration of 3-PBA in urine. The developed
method offers a good linearity with a R2 value of 0.9971 in the calibration range of 0.08-1.28 �?¼g/ml in urine. Under optimized
conditions, the recovery of 3-PBA in the urine sample was found to be in the range of 83-91%. Limit of detection and limit of
quantification was found to be 0.025 �?¼g/ml and 0.076 �?¼g/ml. Intra and inter-day precision for five replicates in a day, and for
five successive days was found to be <8%. The validated method successfully applied for the quantitative evaluation of 3-PBA
in the urine of cypermethrin treated rats. The developed method was found to be simple, rapid, efficient and inexpensive and
found wide application for the routine analysis of 3-PBA in urine or other biological samples by any clinical and toxicological
laboratories involved in this type of studies
