A simple and rapid method using high-performance Liquid chromatography
(HPLC) for the simultaneous determination of five macrolides (josamyc
in, kitasamycin, mirosamicin, spiramycin and tylosin) in meat has been
developed. The drugs were extracted with 0.3% metaphosphoric acid-met
hanol (7.3, v/v), and the extracts were cleaned up on a Bond Elut SCX
(500 mg) cartridge. The HPLC separation was performed on a Puresil 5C(
18) column (150X4.6 mm I.D.) with a gradient system of 0.025 M phospha
te buffer (pH 2.5)-acetonitrile as the mobile phase at a flow-rate of
1.0 ml/min. The drugs were detected at 232 nm for josamycin, kitasamyc
in, mirosamicin and spiramycin, and 287 nm for tylosin. The calibratio
n graphs were rectilinear from 2.5 to 100 ng for each drug. The recove
ries at the level of 1.0 mu g/g were 70.8-90.4%, and detection limits
were 0.05 mu g/g for each drug. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig
