Isolation and characterization of acetamiprid – A neonicotinoid insecticide using TLC and GC-mass spectrometry
2018
Neonicotinoid is a recently developed class of insecticides with worldwide use that has been increasing. It acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. Acetamiprid belongs to this new class of insecticide which have different effects from other insecticides. The present paper deals with a method of extraction and isolation of Acetamiprid from cadaver tissues in a case of poisoning. TLC method using single solvent system and nine different chromogenic reagents has been suggested for preliminary identification. GC-mass spectrometry has been suggested to ascertain the presence of this neonicotinoid insecticide in the biological material for the use of working forensic toxicologists in the field.
