§ 556.1   General considerations; tolerances for residues of new animal drugs in food.
top

(a) Tolerances established in this part are based upon residues of drugs in edible products of food-producing animals treated with such drugs. Consideration of an appropriate tolerance for a drug shall result in a conclusion either that:

(1) Finite residues will be present in the edible products—in which case a finite tolerance is required; or

(2) It is not possible to determine whether finite residues will be incurred but there is reasonable expectation that they may be present—in which case a tolerance for negligible residue is required; or

(3) The drug induces cancer when ingested by man or animal or, after tests which are appropriate for the evaluation of the safety of such drug, has been shown to induce cancer in man or animal; however, such drug will not adversely affect the animals for which it is intended, and no residue of such drug will be found by prescribed methods of analysis in any edible portion of such animals after slaughter or in any food yielded by or derived from the living animal—in which case the accepted method of analysis shall be published or cited, if previously published and available elsewhere, in this part; or

(4) It may or may not be possible to determine whether finite residues will be incurred but there is no reasonable expectation that they may be present—in which case the establishment of a tolerance is not required; or

(5) The drug is such that it may be metabolized and/or assimilated in such form that any possible residue would be indistinguishable from normal tissue constituents—in which case the establishment of a tolerance is not required.

(b) No tolerance established pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of this section will be set at any level higher than that reflected by the permitted use of the drug.

(c) Any tolerance required pursuant to this section will, in addition to the toxicological considerations, be conditioned on the availability of a practicable analytical method to determine the quantity of residue. Such method must be sensitive to and reliable at the established tolerance level or, in certain instances, may be sensitive at a higher level where such level is also deemed satisfactory and safe in light of the toxicity of the drug residue and of the unlikelihood of such residue's exceeding the tolerance.

§ 556.220   3,5-Dinitrobenzamide.
top

No residues of 3,5-dinitrobenzamide may be found in the uncooked edible tissues of chickens as determined by the following method of analysis:

I. Method of analysis—3,5-dinitrobenzamide. A method for 3,5-dinitrobenzamide (3,5-DNBA) in chicken tissues is described with a cleanup step that removes most of the interfering materials, thus allowing uncompensated measurements to be read. The 3,5-DNBA is extracted from the sample with acetone and chloroform and prepared for chromatography by removing the aqueous phase in a separatory funnel and the solvents in a flash evaporator. The extract residue is chromatographed on alumina to remove several lipid components and residues of other drugs. The benzamide eluate is passed through a column of Dowex-50 resin, or equivalent, to remove arylamines; for example, 3-amino-5-nitrobenzamide. The 3,5-DNBA fraction is reduced, after removal of alcohol, with TiCl3 in basic solution to an arylamine, presumably 3,5-diaminobenzamide. The reduced fraction is placed on another Dowex-50 column, most of the interfering substances are removed with washings of alcohol and water, and the arylamine residue is eluted with 4N HCl. Colorimetric measurement is made in a 100-millimeter cell at 530 millimicrons after reacting the residue with Bratton-Marshall reagents.

II. Reagents. A. Acetone.

B. Acetyl-(p- nitrophenyl)-sulfanilamide (APNPS) standard—melting point range 264 °C.–267 °C. Weigh and transfer 10 milligrams of APNPS to a 100-milliliter flask, dissolve and dilute to volume with acetone.

C. Alumina—activated F–20, 80–200 mesh, Aluminum Co. of America, or equivalent substance.

D. Ammonium sulfamate.

E. Ammonium sulfamate solution 1.25 grams of ammonium sulfamate per 100 milliliters of water. Refrigerate when not in use. Prepare fresh weekly.

F. Cation-exchange resin—Dowex 50W–X8, 200–400 mesh, Baker Analyzed Reagent, or equivalent, prepared as follows:

1. Place 500 grams of resin into a 3-liter beaker.

2. Add 2,000 milligrams of 6N HCl.

3. Heat and stir while on a bath at 80 °C. for 6 hours. Discontinue heating and continue stirring overnight.

4. Filter the resin on a Buchner funnel (24 cm.) fitted with Whatman No. 1 paper.

5. Wash the resin bed with four 500-milliliter portions of 6N HCl.

6. Wash the resin bed with 500-milliliter portions of deionized water until the effluent has a pH of 5 or higher.

7. Wash the resin bed with three 400-milliliter portions of specially denatured alcohol 3A. Drain thoroughly.

8. Make a slurry of resin in 1,250 milliliters of specially denatured alcohol 3A.

G. Chloroform.

H. Coupling reagent—0.25 gram of N-1-naphthyl-ethylenediamine dihydrochloride per 100 milliliters of water. Refrigerate when not in use. Prepare fresh weekly.

I. 3,5-Dinitrobenzamide (3,5-DNBA standard). Add to boiling specially denatured alcohol 3A until a saturated solution is obtained and treat with activated carbon, filtered and crystallize by cooling to room temperature. The 3,5-DNBA therefrom is treated a second time with activated carbon and then recrystallized three more times from specially denatured alcohol 3A. The third crystallization is washed with diethyl ether and dried in a vacuum desiccator, melting point range 185 °C.–186 °C.

J. Ethyl alcohol—absolute, A.C.S.

K. Eluting reagent A. The formula and volume required in procedure step V-D is dependent on the adsorptive strength of the Al2 O3. For each lot Al2 O3, make the following test:

1. Prepare a column (see procedure step V-D for determining formula and volume to eluting reagent A).

2. Transfer 1 milliliter of APNPS standard (100 micrograms per milliliter) in 75 milliliters of chloroform to the column.

3. Wash the column with 100 milliliters of chloroform and discard the eluate.

4. Pass through 100 milliliters of solution consisting of specially denatured alcohol 3A and ethyl alcohol 1:1 (volume to volume). Collect one 50-milliliter and five 10-milliliter portions; these make up the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth portions of eluate.

5. Place in beakers under a stream of air on a water bath (90 °C.) until the solvents are evaporated.

6. Add 10 milliliters of 4N HCl to each, cover with watch glasses and heat (90 °C.) for 30 minutes; cool to room temperature.

7. Add the Bratton-Marshall reagents.

8. All fractions show a slight color. Note the portion containing the first significant increase in pink color.

a. If the color increases in the second, third, or fourth portions of eluate, the formula in procedure step V-D is suitable and, depending on the portion, 45, 55, or 65 milliliters, respectively, should be used in procedure step V-D4. Thereby, the APNPS is retained on the column and the benzamides are eluted.

b. If the color increases in the first portion, the eluting strength of the reagent is too strong. Return the test, substituting 1:4 (volume to volume) in procedure step V-D4. If 1:4 (volume to volume) is too strong, rerun with ethyl alcohol in procedure step V-D. If none of these are suitable, another lot of Al2 O3 should be used.

c. If the color increases in the fifth or sixth portion, the eluting strength of the reagent is too weak. Rerun the test, substituting in procedure step V-D4, respectively, 4:1 (volume to volume), specially denatured alcohol 3A: methyl alcohol, 4:1 (volume to volume), until a suitable formula is found. If none of these are suitable, another lot of Al2 O3 should be used.

L. Hydrochloric acid, 4N. Add two volumes of water to one volume of HCl.

M. Diatomaceous earth—Hyflo Super Cel, Johns-Manville Co., or equivalent substance.

N. N-1-Naphthylethylenediamine dihydrochloride.

O. Sodium hydroxide solution, 10N. Dissolve 100 grams of sodium hydroxide in water and dilute to 25 milliliters.

P. Sodium nitrite solution—0.25 grams of sodium nitrite per 100 milliliters of water. Refrigerate when not in use. Prepare fresh weekly.

Q. Specially denatured alcohol, formula 3A–100 parts of 190-proof ethyl alcohol plus 5 parts of commercial methyl alcohol.

R. Titanium(ous) chloride–20 percent solution.

III. Special apparatus. A. Absorption cells—Beckman No. 75195 matched set of two cylindrical silica cells with 100 millimeter optical length, or equivalent cells.

B. Autotransformer—type 500B, or equivalent. To regulate speed of mixer.

C. Centrifuge.

D. Centrifuge tubes—50-milliliter size with glass stopper.

No color from sample should be seen in sodium sulfate layer after final rinse.

3. Wash column with 100 milliliters of chloroform. Discard eluate.
