Outline of Final Research Achievements

Seven neonicotinoids were separately administered to female NZ white rabbits; and the urine samples were collected after 12-48 hours. More than 20 metabolites, such as hydroxy-imidacloprid, N-desmethyl-acetamiprid, N-desmethyl-colthianidin, N-desmetyl-nitenpyram, and N-desmetyl-dinotefuran, were qualitatively detected from the urine samples by LC-TOFMS.
We synthesized 13 metabolites, which were not commercially available, as standards substances and developed quantitative bioanalytical methods using LC-MS/MS.
Then we collected urine samples from the general population, e.g. 46 from three- to six-year-old children in Nagano; 102 from Sri Lankan people, some with chronic kidney disease; and 78 from people in Ghana. The following compounds, imidacloprid, acetamiprid, thiacloporid, nitenpyram, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, dinotefuran, hydroxy-imidacloprid, N-desmethyl-acetamiprid, N-desmethyl-colthianidin, and N-desmethyl-nitenpyram were quantitatively detected from those urine samples.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年のネオニコチノイド系殺虫剤の使用増加に伴い、食品や飲料、空気を介したネオニコチノイド系殺虫剤の慢性環境暴露による健康影響、例えば発達障害、記憶障害、振戦、辺縁性脳炎、慢性腎臓病、不整脈、免疫不全、不妊、不育、肥満、乳がんへの懸念が高まっている。
暴露の指標としての、ネオニコチノイドの代謝物を抽出し、標準物質を合成し、定量できるようにしたことで、フィールドレベルで、随時尿を用いたネオニコチノイド系殺虫剤7種の暴露評価が可能となった。
さらにネオニコチノイド系殺虫剤の全血や組織での定量法も確立することができたので、今後、ネオニコチノイド系殺虫剤の薬物動態や病態生理の研究への貢献が期待できる。
