Insights

A novel polymer adsorbent, TPM-CMP, effectively extracts sulfonamide antibiotics from milk using solid-phase extraction. This method offers sensitive and reliable detection of these crucial antimicrobial drugs.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Sulfonamide antibiotics are widely used but their overuse raises health concerns.
  • Developing efficient methods for sulfonamide detection is crucial for food safety and public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize a novel adsorbent material for sulfonamide extraction.
  • To develop a sensitive solid-phase extraction (SPE) method coupled with liquid chromatography for sulfonamide detection in milk.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a three-dimensional conjugated microporous polymer (TPM-CMP) via Friedel-Crafts reaction.
  • Application of TPM-CMP as an adsorbent in SPE for sulfonamides.
  • Detection of sulfonamides using liquid chromatography.

Main Results:

  • TPM-CMP exhibited high extraction efficiency for sulfonamides through π-stacking, hydrophobic interactions, and pore-filling.
  • The developed SPE-LC method showed a good linear response (3.3-300.0 ng g⁻¹).
  • Low detection limits (1.0-1.5 ng g⁻¹) and high recoveries (83.4%-117%) with low relative standard deviations (<10%) were achieved for sulfonamides in milk.

Conclusions:

  • TPM-CMP is a promising adsorbent for sulfonamide solid-phase extraction.
  • The developed SPE-LC method provides a sensitive and reliable approach for monitoring sulfonamides in milk samples.
  • This advancement aids in ensuring food safety and mitigating risks associated with antibiotic overuse.
