A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass-spectrometric detection was developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of 13 quinolones (orbifloxacin, sarafloxacin, marbofloxacin, ofloxacin, enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, difloxacin, oxolinic acid, flumequine, nalidixic acid) in pork. The drugs were extracted from homogenized sample using acidic buffer (2% trichloracetic acid) and acetonitrile with ethyl acetate. Analysis was performed by liquid chromatograph with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in positive mode for all quinolones. Mass spectral acquisition was performed in the multi reaction monitoring mode (MRM), selecting two structurally significant transitions per compound. Good linear relationship (R2=0.999) was observed at 6 concentrations of 2.5～100 ng/g. Satisfied recoveries (73.3～105.4%) of all quinolones were demonstrated in spiked pork at three levels from 5 to 20 ng/g. The limits of quantitation (LOQs) for quinolones ranged from 0.25 to 5.0 ng/g.

본 논문에서는 식품 중 퀴놀론계(QNs) 합성항균제(marbofloxacin, norfloxacin, danofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, difloxacin, sarafloxacin, oxolinic acid 그리고 flumequine) 9종을 분석하기 위하여, 액-액 추출 과정을 거쳐서 형광검출기가 장착된 액체크로마토그래피를 이용하여 QNs를 효율적으로 동시분석하는 방법을 확립하였다. 컬럼은 Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8(150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm), 이동상 용매는 200 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5)와 ACN로 기울기 용리를 사용하였으며, 유속은 1.5 ml/min, 그리고, 주입량은 10 μl로 설정하여 분석하였다. 확립 된 분석조건으로, 표준검정 곡선은 10-500 μg/kg의 농도범위에서 상관계수가 0.9989 이상의 양호한 직선성을 나타내었으며, 회수율은 50, 100 그리고 500 μg/kg의 농도에서 89.6-106.5 %로, 향상된 추출효율을 나타내었다. 검출한계는 1-16 μg/kg이었고, 정량한계는 3-47 μg/kg이었으며, 일내(intra-day)와 일간(inter-day) 정밀도(CV%)는 0.2-15.0 %, 0.5-11.7 %이었다. 따라서, 확립된 분석방법은 광어 및 계란 중의 QNs을 효과적으로 분석하는데 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
