Abstract This study describes the synthesis and antioxidant activity of new 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. These compounds were generated semi-synthetically using the Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction between ethyl 2-azidoacetate and terminal acetylenes derived from the natural products carvacrol, eugenol, isovanillin, thymol and vanillin. The products were obtained at 50 to 80% yield and characterised through several spectrographic techniques. Antioxidant activity was assayed using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS). The products exhibited moderate antioxidant activity, with ethyl 2-(4-((4-formyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl) acetate showing the highest antioxidant capacity (EC50 = 75.5 µg/mL) among the generated 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. In conclusion, the generation of these compounds opens new possibilities for the development of new antioxidant agents.

Um método para determinação de resíduos de oxitetraciclina, tetraciclina e clortetraciclina em leite por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência foi otimizado e validado. Ensaios intralaboratoriais empregando soluções padrão, brancos de amostras e amostras adicionadas de soluções padrão dos antimicrobianos foram realizados para avaliação da linearidade, seletividade, exatidão, precisão, limites de detecção e de quantificação do método. As amostras foram homogeneizadas, tratadas com solução tampão de succinato de sódio pH 4,0 e centrifugadas, descartando-se o precipitado. As tetraciclinas foram removidas do sobrenadante por quelação com íons cobre reversivelmente ligados à resina quelante e eluídas com tampão McIlvaine-EDTA pH 4,0. As médias de recuperação para as tetraciclinas foram de 76,2 a 104,9% com coeficiente de variação na faixa de 1,4 a 18,9%. Limites de detecção de 10, 15 e 40ng/mL e limites de quantificação de 10, 20 e 50ng/mL foram determinados para oxitetraciclina, tetraciclina e clortetraciclina, respectivamente.

A method for determination of oxytetracycline, tetracycline and chlortetracycline residues in milk by high performance liquid chromatography was optimized and validated. Linearity, selectivity, trueness, precision, limits of detection and quantitation were evaluated by in-house validation procedures employing reference materials, sample blanks and spiked samples. Milk samples were homogenized, treated with sodium succinate pH 4.0 buffer and centrifuged, discarding the precipitate. Tetracyclines were removed from the supernatant by chelating with metal ions bound to a chelating resin and eluted with McIlvaine-EDTA pH 4.0 buffer. Mean recoveries for tetracyclines ranged from 76.2 to 104.9% with coefficients of variation from 1.4 to 18.9%. Detection limits of 10, 15 and 40ng/mL and quantitation limits of 10, 20 and 50ng/mL were determined for oxytetracycline, tetracycline and chlortetracycline, respectively.

Foi padronizado e validado um método analítico para determinação de resíduos de abamectin, doramectin e ivermectin em fígado bovino empregando extração com acetonitrila, purificação com cartucho de C18 , derivatização, detecção e quantificação por CLAE/FL. Nos ensaios com amostras adicionadas de solução padrão em níveis entre 5 e 100mg/kg as recuperações médias obtidas variaram de 69,0 a 101,4% com valores de coeficiente de variação entre 5,5 e 28,1%. O limite de detecção e quantificação do método, para os três resíduos estudados, foi 5µg/kg.
