Abstract
In neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in Parkinson's disease (PD), antinociceptive centers are often implicated in neurodegeneration, leading to persistent pain unresponsive to narcotic substances. This study investigated the periaqueductal gray matter (PAG) and the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM), components of the brain's antinociceptive system. In conditions of rotenone intoxication (an experimental PD model), morphological changes in intracellular structures were observed in PAG and NRM neurons, indicating metabolic disorders characteristic of PD (alterations in the shape and size of neuronal bodies and processes, disruption of acid phosphatase activity in neuron cytoplasm). Under the influence of bacterial melanin and in combination with synoestrol, positive changes in structural properties were observed in PAG and NRM neurons compared to the rotenone model of PD. This included the preservation of the morphological characteristics typical of these brain regions, with cells exhibiting shapes and sizes close to normal. Furthermore, under the influence of these therapeutic agents, an increase in phosphatase activity in cell cytoplasm was detected, indicating an acceleration of metabolic processes (metabolic activation) disrupted by rotenone intoxication. The data obtained suggests that bacterial melanin and synoestrol may act as potential neuroprotective agents against PAG and NRM neurons in the rat brain in the rotenone model of PD. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of action of therapeutic doses and propose their use in the treatment of PD, either in isolation or combination therapy.

Abstract
This work describes the isolation and quantification of rotenoids from crude organic extracts of different parts of Clitoria fairchildiana R. A. Howard (Leguminosae) by HPLC-DAD. The lipid composition and the Artemia salina cytotoxic activities of the isolates were also conducted. Clitoriacetal (1), 6-deoxyclitoriacetal (2), stemonal and stemonone were isolated by chromatographic procedures and identified by usual spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. Clitoriacetal and 6-deoxyclitoriacetal were not found in all parts of the plant, such as leaves and petals, but in the roots they occur in higher concentration. The activity against brine shrimp revealed that the root extract (LD50 = 158 ppm) was the more active.

Using gamma distribution to determine half-life of rotenone, applied in freshwater. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2015; 527-528:246-51.

Abstract
Following the use of rotenone to eradicate invasive pest fish, a dynamic first-order kinetic model is usually used to determine the half-life and rate at which rotenone dissipated from the treated waterbody. In this study, we investigate the use of a stochastic gamma model for determining the half-life and rate at which rotenone dissipates from waterbodies. The first-order kinetic and gamma models produced similar values for the half-life (4.45 days and 5.33 days respectively) and days to complete dissipation (51.2 days and 52.48 days respectively). However, the gamma model fitted the data better and was more flexible than the first-order kinetic model, allowing us to use covariates and to predict a possible range for the half-life of rotenone. These benefits are particularly important when examining the influence that different environmental factors have on rotenone dissipation and when trying to predict the rate at which rotenone will dissipate during future operations. We therefore recommend that in future the gamma distribution model is used when calculating the half-life of rotenone in preference to the dynamic first-order kinetics model.

Fate and behavior of rotenone in Diamond Lake, Oregon, USA following invasive tui chub eradication. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY 2014; 33:1650-1655. [PMID: 24733691 DOI: 10.1002/etc.2608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2013] [Revised: 09/15/2013] [Accepted: 04/07/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
In September 2006, Diamond Lake (OR, USA) was treated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife with a mixture of powdered and liquid rotenone in the successful eradication of invasive tui chub Gila bicolor. During treatment, the lake was in the middle of a phytoplankton (including cyanobacteria Anabaena sp.) bloom, resulting in an elevated pH of 9.7. Dissipation of rotenone and its major metabolite rotenolone from water, sediment, and macrophytes was monitored. Rotenone dissipated quickly from Diamond Lake water; approximately 75% was gone within 2 d, and the average half-life (t½) value, estimated by using first-order kinetics, was 4.5 d. Rotenolone persisted longer (>46 d) with a short-term t½ value of 16.2 d. Neither compound was found in groundwater, sediments, or macrophytes. The dissipation of rotenone and rotenolone appeared to occur in 2 stages, which was possibly the result of a release of both compounds from decaying phytoplankton following their initial dissipation. Fisheries managers applying rotenone for fish eradication in lentic environments should consider the following to maximize efficacy and regulatory compliance: 1) treat at a minimum of twice the minimum dose demonstrated for complete mortality of the target species and possibly higher depending on the site's water pH and algae abundance, and 2) implement a program that closely monitors rotenone concentrations in the posttreatment management of a treated water body.

Effect of two formulations on the decline curves and residue levels of rotenone in cabbage and soil under field conditions. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2014; 104:23-27.

Abstract
The dissipation and residue levels of rotenone with suspension concentrate (SC) as well as water dispersible granule (WDG) formulations in cabbage and soil were investigated under field conditions. The decline curves of rotenone residues in cabbage and soil corresponded with first-order kinetics. The dissipation rate of rotenone in cabbage was faster than that in soil. The half-lives of the SC formulations in cabbage and soil were 1.14d to 1.85d and 2.26d to 3.98d, respectively. For the WDG formulation, the values were 1.33d to 1.96d and 2.41d to 3.38d. Less spraying, lower dosage, and longer pre-harvest intervals could reduce terminal residue levels. Terminal residues below the MRL (0.5mg kg(-1)) were achieved after pre-harvest intervals of 3d at either once (45g a.i. ha(-1)) or twice (90g a.i. ha(-1)) the recommended dosage. The different dissipation processes of rotenone in cabbage and soil under field conditions could be attributed to the different climate and soil properties, and the types of formulation had no apparent effect on half-life. Formulation type affected the initial concentrations and finally led to different terminal residues. Prolonged pre-harvest intervals are necessary to ensure that the products are sufficiently safe for consumption.

Comparison of several supervised pattern recognition techniques for detecting additive methamidophos in rotenone preparation by near-infrared spectroscopy. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2013; 121:678-684.

Abstract
In this paper, different supervised pattern recognition methods have been applied to detect the manually additive methamidophos in rotenone preparation. The aim of this paper was to examine the performances of different supervised pattern recognition techniques: soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), artificial neutral networks (ANN), and support vector machine (SVM). The results obtained show that SVM is the most effective techniques with 100.0% classification accuracy followed by ANN, PLS-DA and with the accuracy of 97.5% and 93.3% respectively while SIMCA yields the poorest result of 85.8%. We hope that the results obtained in this study will help both further chemometric investigations and investigations in the sphere of applied vibrational spectroscopy of sophisticated multicomponent systems. Furthermore, the use of portable instrument and satisfactory classification also indicated the possibility of detecting illicit-addition at scene by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy which makes a great sense in pesticide quality control.

Abstract
Rotenone dissipation and terminal residue in cabbage and soil under field conditions were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The dissipation rates of rotenone were described using first-order kinetics. The half-lives ranged from 0.89 to 1.55 days in cabbage and 1.98 to 2.76 days in soil. Prolonged pre-harvest interval times ensure that the cabbage is safe for consumption. Temperature and the physico-chemical properties of the soil were identified as the key factors affecting rotenone degradation in cabbage and soil under field conditions.

Abstract
Tephrosia vogelii has been used for generations as a pest control material in Africa. Recently, two chemotypes have been reported based on the occurrence (chemotype 1) or absence (chemotype 2) of rotenoids. This could have an impact on the efficacy and reliability of this material for pest control. We report that chemotype 2 has no pesticidal activity against Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricius (family Chrysomelidae) and that this is associated with the absence of rotenoids. We present a first report of the comparative biological activity of deguelin, tephrosin, α-toxicarol, and sarcolobine and show that not all rotenoids are equally effective. Tephrosin was less toxic than deguelin which was less active than rotenone, while obovatin 5-methyl ether, the major flavonoid in chemotype 2 was inactive. We also report that in chemotype 1 the occurrence of rotenoids shows substantial seasonal variation.

Abstract
A new approach for the assay of rotenone (1) by isotope dilution mass spectrometry is presented. The extreme toxicity of rotenone, a natural phytodrug with insecticidal and piscicidal activity, recently banned by national and international environmental protection agencies, calls for the development of sensitive and accurate methods of analyses. Accordingly, the proposed protocol is based on the availability of the labeled internal standard rotenone-d3 (3) which can be conveniently prepared by consecutive and specific mono-O-demethylation, and remethylation with methyl iodide-d3. The sensitivity of the method is confirmed by the very low limit of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) values achieved in the assay of 1 in two distinct fortified matrices, and is further supported by the observed accuracy values.

Abstract
The persistence and degradation of rotenone and its primary degradation product 12a beta-hydroxyrotenone in soils were determined under standardized laboratory conditions in the dark at 20 or 10 degrees C and at 40% of water holding capacity. Degradation experiments were carried out on two types of soil collected in southern Italy, a silt clay loam (SCL) and a loamy soil (L). A kinetic model was developed to describe degradation rates of rotenone, taking into account the production, retention, and degradation of the main metabolites. The DT50 values of rotenone and 12a beta-hydroxyrotenone, were 8 and 52 days in SCL soil, and 5 and 23 days in L soil at 20 degrees C, respectively. However, at 10 degrees C a tendency for slower degradation of rotenone and 12a beta-hydroxyrotenone was observed (25 and 118 days in SCL and 21 and 35 days in L soils, respectively). The differences were significant for most data sets. Temperature had a strong effect on degradation; a 10 degrees C increase in temperature resulted in a decrease in the DT50 value by a factor of 3.1 and 2.2 in SCL and of 4.2 and 1.4 in L soils for both rotenone and 12a beta-hydroxyrotenone, respectively. Results show that the degradation rates of both rotenone and 12a beta-hydroxyrotenone were greatly affected by temperature changes and soil physicochemical properties. The degradation reaction fits the two compartment or the multiple compartment model pathways better, which clearly indicates a rather complex rotenone degradation process in soils. Results provide further insights on the rates and the mechanisms of rotenone degradation in soils, aiming to more clearly describe the degradation pathway of chemical residues in the environment.

Abstract
Three slow release experimental rotenone formulations were tested to evaluate their effectiveness against Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman in colonies with sealed brood and to determine whether they left residues in honey and bees wax: we evaluated cardboard strip containing 1 g rotenone and two types of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) strips containing 1 (high-dose) and 0.5 (low-dose) g of rotenone, respectively. In general, the efficacy of the treatments, expressed as percentage of mite mortality, was highly variable in all treatment groups (range, 0-96.8%). The highest effectiveness was obtained with the high-dose-PVC strips, which caused an average percentage of mortality ranging between 47 and 69% in the adult bees and sealed brood, respectively. At the end of the treatment, rotenone residues ranged between 0.03 and 0.06 and 1.5-144.0 mg/kg in honey and wax, respectively. Rotenone residues in wax were still detectable 4 mo after the treatment period, whereas no residues were found in honey. The higher residues content and persistence recorded in wax samples, was probably due to the lipophilic nature of rotenone. A reduction in the amount of adults was recorded for the group treated with high-dose-PVC strips compared with the untreated colonies. Toxicological risks connected with the use of rotenone and the low maximum level recently fixed by European legislation (0.01 mg/kg) suggest that rotenone is not a good candidate for reducing varroa populations in honey bee colonies.

Abstract
The extraction of active compounds from plants is one of the most critical steps in the commercial development of natural products for medicinal, herbicidal or pesticidal use. The focus of this study was to compare conventional maceration and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) techniques for the efficient extraction of rotenone from the stem and root of Derris elliptica Benth and Derris malaccensis Prain. The effects of experimental variables, such as solvent, temperature and pressure, on PLE efficiency have been studied. Chloroform was determined to be a good extraction solvent (rotenone content 40.6%, w/w) compared to commonly used solvent, 95% ethanol (rotenone content 15.0%, w/w). The optimal conditions for PLE were 50 degrees C and 2000 psi. PLE showed higher extraction efficiency (rotenone content 46.1%, w/w) as compared with conventional maceration method (rotenone content 40.6%, w/w). The order of rotenone content found in crude extract obtained by optimized method from the highest to the lowest was root (46.1%, w/w) and stem (9.4%, w/w) of D. elliptica and stem of D. malaccensis (5.2%, w/w), respectively. Moreover, the results from this study indicated that PLE was considerably less time and solvent consuming (30 min, 3 ml/g of dried sample) than the conventional maceration techniques (72 h, 10 ml/g of dried sample).

Abstract
A simple multiresidue method for screening analysis of 12 botanical insecticides used by organic farmers has been developed. The method involves a rapid and small-scale extraction procedure with acetonitrile. For all fruit and vegetable samples, there was no need for clean up. Rotenone, azadirachtin, ryanodines, and pyrethrins can be separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, quantified, and confirmed with a diode array detector (DAD) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) in the select ion-monitoring mode (SIM). The majority of pesticide recoveries for various fruits and vegetables were >70% in the concentration range from 0.01 to 5 mg/kg. The limit of quantitation for most of the pesticides was 0.01 mg/kg, with the majority of relative standard deviations (RSD) mostly below 10%.

Abstract
The high-throughput analytical approach proposed for the assay of rotenone in lake and river waters presented here is based on atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) methodology whereby the analyte and internal standard solutions are directly analyzed, without any previous chromatographic separation. The very good accuracy is obtained by the critical choice of a reference compound that shows gas-phase chemistry similar to that of the analyte, by producing the same product ions selected for the MRM-based assay.

Abstract
A 90-min assay using 24-well plates was developed for screening overall metabolic effects of toxic chemicals by measuring extracellular acidification rate of mammalian cells. During the 90-min test, the pH of each well of a 24-well plate is monitored by measuring the absorbance of phenol red using a spectrophotometric plate reader. The acidification rate is then calculated from the change in pH divided by the time interval and cell density, which is also estimated non-invasively by spectroscopy. The assay was verified by testing the effects of five well-characterized chemical toxins on fibroblast cell cultures. As expected, the responses of the fibroblasts were dependent on the dose and type of toxin. They also corresponded with the established mechanisms of the toxins and with measured lactate production rates. The set-up is simple, inexpensive, and amenable to being automated. The method is easy to perform and rapid. Uses include screening compounds for gross metabolic effects in mammalian cell lines, determining preliminary metabolic dose-response curves for guiding further research, and designing and optimizing media for in vitro systems utilizing cell cultures.

Abstract
Rotenone and rotenoids (deguelin, beta-rotenolone (12a beta-hydroxyrotenone), tephrosin (12a beta-hydroxydeguelin), 12a alpha-hydroxyrotenone, and dehydrorotenone) were determined in cubè resins and formulations. Cubè resins from Lonchocarpus contain large quantities of deguelin (ca. 21.2%) and smaller quantities of tephrosin (ca. 3.5%) and beta-rotenolone (ca. 3.0%). The composition of commercial formulations may present very different rotenoid contents depending on the extracts used to prepare them. Because these rotenoids also present insecticide activity, the efficacy of these formulations may be very different. The storage stability and photodegradation of some rotenone formulations were studied. Rotenone and rotenoids are very sensitive to solar radiation, which degrades them rapidly, with half-lives in the order of a few tens of minutes. Some formulations show greater disappearance rates than that of cubè resin, indicating that not much attention has been paid to protecting the active ingredients from photodegradation in the formulation. A study on the residues on olives was also carried out to assess not only the rotenone content, but also that of the main rotenoids. At harvest, the residues of deguelin, tephrosin, and beta-rotenolone were 0.10, 0.06, and 0.10 mg/kg, respectively, very similar to rotenone (0.08 mg/kg), and though a few data indicate similar acute toxicity values for deguelin, only rotenone is taken into consideration in the legal determination of the residue.

Abstract
Rotenone, a widely used pesticide, causes a syndrome in rats that mimics, both behaviorally and pathologically, the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The present study evaluated the role of nitric oxide in rotenone-induced nigro-striatal injury. After administration of rotenone in rats for 40 days, there was a moderate but significant injury of the nigro-striatal pathway indicated by a 47% decrease in striatal dopamine levels and a 28% loss of substantia nigra tyrosine hydroxylase-immunopositive neurons. Furthermore, a significant (37%) increase in the number of cells positive for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPH-d) in the striatum was observed, accompanied by a 83% increase in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and a significant increase in the production of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT). There was a significant increase (45%) in the optical density of NADPH-d staining and an increase (72%) in NOS activity in the substantia nigra. Moreover, administration of the neuronal NOS inhibitor 7-nitroindazole significantly attenuated the increased NOS activity and 3-NT production, and provided significant protection against rotenone-induced nigro-striatal injury. Our data suggest that chronic rotenone administration can lead to significant injury to the nigro-striatal system, mediated by increased generation of nitric oxide.

Abstract
Fast and sensitive packed capillary column switching liquid chromatography methodology has been developed for the determination of the pesticide rotenone in river water. Sample volumes of up to 1 ml are loaded onto a 23 x 0.25 mm, 5 microm Kromasil C18 packed capillary precolumn using a noneluting solvent composition of water-acetonitrile (99:1, v/v) at flow-rates up to 100 microl/min prior to solute backflushing onto a 200 x 0.32 mm, 3.5 microm Kromasil C18 packed capillary analytical column using a mobile phase of water-acetonitrile (30:70, v/v) at a flow-rate of 5 microl/min. The method was evaluated using river water samples spiked with rotenone in the concentration range 0.5-50 ng/ml using UV detection. The within-assay precision was between 5.0 and 7.7% relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 6) and the between assay precision was between 7.5 and 8.9% RSD (n = 6). The method was linear within the investigated mass range displaying a calibration curve correlation factor of 0.997. The mass limit of detection was 10 pg corresponding to a concentration limit of detection of 10 pg/ml, using time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Rotenone and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) mixtures, so-called "synergized" rotenone, are invaluable in fisheries management where they are used to protect the habitat of endangered, native species and promote desirable gamefish populations. Continued use of synergized rotenone is threatened by inadequate control of persistence in surface water, especially where drinking water supplies are impacted. The photochemical kinetics of these chemicals were studied in the laboratory with a goal to better understand their fate in natural water. Disappearance quantum yields (phi) were determined in polychromatic light from fluorescent lamps emitting maximally at 350 nm. Rotenone, PBO and trifluralin, an actinometer, were irradiated as aqueous solutions at 25 or 50 microg L(-1) and the piscicides were determined by electrospray-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (ESI-LC-MS). In the photoreactor rotenone and PBO photodegraded with first-order half-lives of 500 and 220 min, respectively, and corresponding quantum yields of 0.00015 and 0.034. Rotenone absorbs sunlight strongly, while PRO does not. Differences in spectal overlap tended to counteract the disparities in phi and, in general, mathematical modeling indicates moderately rapid direct photolysis rates for both substances in surface water.

Rotenone residues on olives and in olive oil. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2002; 50:2576-2580.

Abstract
The disappearance of rotenone on olives under field conditions was studied. The field data showed that rotenone residues on olives decreased with a half-life (t(1/2)) of 4.0 days. After pre-harvest time (10 days) the residues were higher than the maximum residue level fixed in Italy (0.04 mg/kg). Experiments with model systems showed that the mechanism of disappearance of rotenone is not related to evaporation, thermodegradation, or co-distillation, but only to photodegradation. When the olives were processed for oil, the residues in the oil were higher than the residues on the olives by a factor of 2.4-4.8.

Abstract
Rotenoids are the active ingredients of some botanical insecticides and prospective candidates as anticancer agents. The proper isolation and determination of rotenoids in plants is of great importance for their further research and development. However, the HPLC method available for this purpose was developed particularly for the detection and determination of rotenone, so it appears to be unsuitable for the analysis of other rotenoids such as deguelin, elliptone and their analogues. By checking the UV spectra, it has been found that four types of UV absorption patterns occurred among the major rotenoids isolated from the roots of Derris elliptica and leaves of Tephrosia vogelii, and that the detection wavelength at 240 nm is more adequate for the analysis of a complex of rotenoids than at 280 nm-300 nm, which is used for rotenone detection. The extraction of rotenoids from plants is conveniently carried out by CHCl3-MeOH(9:1, V/V) and the purification can be accomplished by filtration of the crude residue through a C18 reversed-phase cartridge. Rotenoids can be isocratically eluted by MeOH-H2O(66:34, V/V). The results showed that rotenone, deguelin, elliptone, and their 12a-hydroxy- and 6a,12a-dehydro-analogs can be easily detected by the modified method, along with a satisfactory peak separation. The rotenoid components might be characterized by their retention times and relative retention times based on rotenone, which were at a range of 3.26 min-39.42 min and 40.4%-489.1% respectively.

Abstract
The brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) is an introduced pest in Guam, responsible for extensive agricultural damage, the extinction of several bird species, and severe and frequent electrical power outages. Rotenone, a naturally occurring pesticide, has been investigated as a possible chemical control agent. An analytical method was developed to assess whole body rotenone residues ranging in concentration from 0.035 to 250 microg g(-)(1) in snakes. The method employed ethyl acetate extraction of 2 g samples of cryogenically frozen, pulverized snakes, followed by silica and Florisil solid-phase extraction cleanup. Extract analysis was performed using a high-performance liquid chromatography system employing a cyanopropyl analytical column. Tissues fortified to concentrations of 0.035, 4.82, and 250 microg g(-)(1) yielded analyte recoveries of 85.1, 85.6, and 83.5%, respectively. The linear response of rotenone standard solutions was assessed from 0. 025 to 0.25 microg mL(-)(1) (r(2) = 0.9968) and from 0.250 to 125 microg mL(-)(1) (r(2) = 0.9999). The method was simple, rugged, and reliable.

Abstract
A glass capillary column coated with PS-086 (15% phenyl-80% methylpolysiloxane, 15 m x 0.30-mm i.d., 0.1-microm film thickness) is used to analyze extracts from Lonchocarpus urucu (Derris urucu). Several secondary metabolites (8 flavonoids, 10 rotenoids) are characterized without derivatization, and the rotenoids are quantitated by high-temperature high-resolution gas chromatography (HTHRGC) and HTHRGC coupled with mass spectrometry (HTHRGC-MS). The limit of detection in flame ionization detection of rotenone is approximately 0.5 microg/mL, and the limit of quantitation was 2 microg/mL. Derris urucu bark is an excellent source of rotenone isomers (80 mg/g), deguelin (30 mg/g), and rotenolone (26 mg/g). Single solvent extractions (hexane, methylene dichloride, acetone, or methanol) are not able to fully extract the flavonoids and rotenoids. Complete extraction is achieved using a mixture of methanol-methylene dichloride (1:1), indicating a complex association of these compounds with the plant tissue. HTHRGC and HTHRGC-MS are shown to be quick and informative tools for the rapid analysis of crude extracts without the need for prior derivatization and fractionation.

Abstract
A method for determining residues of the insecticide rotenone in raw-honey by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. To extract the residues, organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, n-hexane/dichloromethane and solid-phase extraction with octadecylsilane cartridges or Florisil packed columns were tested. Determination was carried out by reversed-phase HPLC using acetonitrile-buffer phosphate (pH 7) (60:40, v/v) as mobile phase and detection at 210 nm. Although the data showed that the two extraction methods were able to isolate the pesticide residues, the extraction on octadecylsilane cartridges was preferred due to its simplicity and higher recovery. Recoveries depended strongly on the fortification level for the two extraction procedures. Practical determination limits of 0.015 mg/kg were obtained. In the analysis of honeys, from beehives treated with rotenone at therapeutical doses for 1 month, residual amounts below 0.2 mg/kg were found.

Abstract
Rotenone is a naturally occurring insecticide and piscicide (fish poison) found in many leguminous plants. This paper describes high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods for the quantitative analysis of rotenone's principal biologically active components (rotenone, tephrosin, rotenolone, deguelin) and the synergist piperonyl butoxide (PBO) in various media. Compounds were separated on a C18 reversed phase column with an acetonitrile-0.025 M phosphoric acid mobile phase and detected by UV absorbance or fluorescence (PBO only). Solid phase extraction (SPE) was used in either coupled (on-line) mode with a C18 concentrator column or automated off-line mode using Empore C18 disks. The on-line extraction efficiency was improved significantly by adding small amounts of methanol to water. Method detection limits (MDLs) for rotenoids and PBO in reagent water were 0.3 and 2 micrograms L-1, respectively, with optimal recoveries ranging from 90% to 99%. Aquatic sediments were extracted with methanol and the extracts were diluted in water prior to analysis by coupled SPE-HPLC. In wet sediments, detection limits were approximately 20-100 micrograms kg-1 with recoveries of 71% to 87%. Sonication in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) followed by dilution in acetonitrile and filtration allowed determination of the active ingredients in powdered rotenone formulations. Details of sample preparation, cartridge column cleanup and analyte confirmation are provided.

Abstract
An analytical procedure is described for determining residues of rotenone in fish muscle, fish offal, crayfish, freshwater mussels, and bottom sediments. Tissue samples were extracted with ethyl ether and extracts were cleaned up by gel permeation chromatography and silica gel chromatography. Sediment samples were extracted with methanol, acidified, partitioned into hexane, and cleaned up on a silica gel column. Rotenone residues were quantitated by liquid chromatography, using ultraviolet (295 nm) detection. Recoveries from sediment samples fortified with rotenone at 0.3 microgram/g were 80.8%, whereas recoveries from tissue samples fortified with 0.1 microgram/g ranged from 87.7 to 96.8%. Samples fortified with 0.3 microgram/g and stored at -10 degrees C for 6 months before analysis had recoveries ranging from 83.2 to 90.5%. Limits of detection were 0.025 microgram/g for sediments and 0.005 microgram/g for tissue samples.

Abstract
The high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) behavior of parent rotenoids (type I) and the hydroxy-analogues (type II) on three different chiral stationary phases (CSPs) was studied. Separations of optical isomers were achieved in various degrees depending largely upon the rotenoidal structures and the CSP types employed. Enantiomers of all but elliptone compounds were separable on beta-cyclodextrin-bonded silica (CDS). Without exception, the 12a-hydroxyrotenoid antipodes were resolved on Pirkle's phenylglycine-bonded silica (PGS) despite unsuccessful attempts to resolve the type I rotenoidal racemates. Conversely, optical resolution of the latter rotenoids was accomplished by using a helical polytriphenylmethylacrylate-coated silica (TPS) column and the observed separation factors (alpha values) ranged from 1.14 to 1.90. The results from HPLC of type II rotenoids on TPS (alpha = 1.00-1.63) suggested that variations in E-ring structures had profound influence on the resolution outcome. Conjugated double bonds on the E-ring and the desisopropylation of the five-membered E-ring of type II rotenoids appeared to be important structural features for chiral recognition involving the TPS substrate. In both reversed-phase (CDS) and normal-phase (PGS and TPS) HPLC modes, the less polar enantiomers were the 6a beta,12a beta-rotenoids as observed in most cases, though this relationship was reversed in the cases of deguelin and hydroxyelliptone probably due to conformational effects of rotenoidal ring systems.

Abstract
Studies at Midwest Research Institute for the National Toxicology Program show that rotenone/animal feed mixtures prepared by dry-mixing are more stable than mixtures produced by dosing the feed with alcoholic solutions of rotenone and then stripping the solvent. Also, recoveries of rotenone from the dry mix feeds are higher than those from feeds dosed by the solution method. A simplified analytical method from one previously reported for rotenone in feed is described.

Abstract
An analytical procedure is described for determining residues of rotenone, rotenolone, dehydrotenone, and rotenone in admixture in animal chow and tissues. The methanol or ethyl ether extracts from samples of chow and tissues, respectively, are subjected to a liquid-liquid partitioning cleanup with hexane-acetonitrile, further cleanup on a column of silica gel, and subsequent analysis by high pressure liquid chromatography using an ultraviolet absorption detector set at 295 nm. Animal chow, mouse fetuses, and gastrointestinal tracts spiked with 0.5 ppm of each compound in admixture yielded average recoveries of 92, 51, and 79%, respectively; minimum quantities of the 4 compounds detectable in the 3 substrates averaged 0.12, 0.04, ajd 0.14 ppm, respectively. Stability studies indicate that rotenone reacts with animal chow with a half-life of 7--8 days and is photodegraded in incandescent light with a half-life of 0.65 day. No transplacental transfer of rotenone or its products was observed in fetuses from mice receiving 7 consecutive daily doses of rotenone at levels up to 25 mg/kg.

Abstract
The rotenoids deguelin, B-dihydrorotenone, dehydrorotenone, rotenone, 6alpha beta, 12alpha beta-rotenolone, and tephrosin were chromatographed on 8-12 mum silica. A mobile phase of chloroform-isooctane (35+65) pumped at a flow rate of 1 ml/min through a 30 cm column was used and the absorbance of the eluate was monitored at 294 nm. Rotenone, B-dihydrorotenone, deguelin, and dehydrorotenone are completely resolved while 6alpha beta, 12alpha beta-rotenolone and tephrosin chromatograph as one peak. This method has potential as a preparative separation technique for rotenoids. Also described is a procedure to quantitatively measure rotenone in pesticide formulations. Samples were extracted with chloroform and chromatographed at a flow of 2.5 ml/min. The method is rapid (rotenone is eluted in 12 min) and reproducible.
