Different agencies that supply validation guidelines worldwide establish almost the same parameters to be evaluated in the validation process of bioanalytical methods. However, they recommend different procedures, as well as establish different acceptance criteria. The present review delineates and discusses the stages involved in the validation procedures of bioanalytical methods designed for determining veterinary residues in food, explaining the main differences in the guidelines established for this purpose by the main regulatory agencies in the world.

Analytical methods were developed and validated to determine residues of veterinary drugs in buffalo milk and meat, using the QuEChERS method and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Both milk and meat, at 2 g of sample, 4 mL of acetonitrile, 0.8 g of MgSO4 and 0.2 g of NaCl, were used in the liquid-liquid partition, whereas 50 mg of C18, 50 mg of PSA and 150 mg of MgSO4 were employed in the dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE). The methods showed sensitivity, precision and accuracy. The quantitation limits were in agreement with the maximum residue limit established by the Codex Alimentarius, FAO and WHO.

The determination of veterinary drug residues in foods of animal origin is an important issue because of the risk these compounds pose to human health in addition to their persistence and tendency to bioaccumulate. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the area and this review presents the state of the art in sample preparation procedures associated with chromatographic techniques coupled to mass spectrometry for multiresidue determination of veterinary drugs in food of animal origin at concentration levels suitable for the control of residues and contaminants in food.

The use of veterinary drugs in food producing animals may result in the presence of residues in foods, including milk and eggs. Immunoassay or microbiological tests are used to screen for residues, but chromatographic methods are needed to confirm positive results. In most methods, the sample is extracted with acetonitrile, submitted to clean up or directly analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Results of the Brazilian governmental monitoring programs from 2006 to 2011 have shown that the antiparasitic ivermectin was the drug most frequently found in milk. Residues in eggs are only monitored by one of the programs, and few studies have reported the incidence of veterinary drugs in this matrix in Brazil.

The objective of this paper was to review data on residues of medical products in aquatic environments and at wastewater treatment plants. Secondarily the paper presents a discussion about the need for a good management of drugs residues and effluents generated by this sector. Bringing the evidences of environmental possible damages reported by ecotoxicity data on the effects of fluoxetine to Vibrio fischeri and H. azteca, aquatic organisms daily exposed to environmental contaminants. From the results we observed that 0.3 mg.l-1 of fluoxetine hidrochloride induced lethality to H. azteca and 30 mg.l-1 reduced the luminescence of Vibrio fischeri. This assay evidenced higher toxicity when we used the generic product.

RESUMO - Durante todo o seu ciclo de vida, o medicamento está sujeito a padrões de qualidade, segurança e eficácia, alicerçados numa atuação conjunta dos responsáveis pela sua colocação no mercado, das autoridades competentes nacionais e comunitárias. Os diferentes intervenientes estão sujeitos a um conjunto de obrigações e procedimentos que englobam também a sua fase final de retirada do mercado, devolução, recolha e valorização ou reciclagem. Neste trabalho é caracterizada a cadeia de distribuição do medicamento assim como o seu fluxo físico no sentido inverso, ou seja, o processo de devolução e de tratamento ambientalmente adequado para os resíduos de medicamentos. A maioria da literatura a respeito das devoluções de medicamentos enfatiza a vertente ecológica do sistema de logística inversa. Neste trabalho, as questões ambientais são discutidas , mas o objectivo primário focaliza questões económicas relacionadas com o processo de devoluções. São apresentadas as possíveis vantagens teóricas da criação de um sistema centralizado de gestão de devoluções, por oposição ao atual sistema de circuitos dispersos. Com a aplicação de um inquérito a armazenistas com larga responsabilidade no processo de devoluções, pretendeu-se avaliar os custos inerentes ao atual modelo. Os resultados obtidos indicam que existe margem potencial para reduzir custos neste processo, para a grande maioria dos armazenistas. Na área específica dos medicamentos fora de prazo de validade, o crescente desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento dos processos de devolução poderá direcionar-se no sentido da criação de centrais de devolução centralizadas.

O descarte de medicamentos envolve dois fluxos: o fluxo institucional, dos resíduos de fármacos, classificados como resíduos de serviços de saúde, utilizados na indústria e nas instituições de saúde; e o fluxo domiciliar, dos medicamentos vencidos/em desuso em poder da população. O descarte dos resíduos de medicamentos de origem domiciliar pode ser promovido pela logística reversa, onde este tipo de resíduo é devolvido ao setor empresarial para destinação final ambientalmente segura. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as estratégias mais viáveis para operacionalização da logística reversa de medicamentos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa. As estratégias foram avaliadas junto a atores da cadeia de valor farmacêutica: representantes do poder público, da indústria e distribuição farmacêutica, e consumidores/potenciais consumidores de medicamentos. Foram elaborados três questionários de avaliação de estratégias segundo seis critérios: mediação (articulação entre atores da cadeia produtiva farmacêutica por meio de políticas públicas); fiscalização (das ações); complexidade (de implantação e operacionalização); custos (de implantação e manutenção); adesão (potencialidade de ser inserida no cotidiano da população) e abrangência (potencialidade de alcançar a população). As estratégias foram hierarquizadas em ordem decrescente de viabilidade: rientações à população por profissionais de saúde, farmácias e internet, sinalização de informações nas embalagens e bulas de medicamentos, campanhas publicitárias e de educação ambiental e a disponibilização de postos de entrega voluntária. Os resultados poderão contribuir para a operacionalização de um sistema de logística reversa de medicamentos, considerando todos os atores envolvidos e buscando conciliar suas necessidades, possibilidades, limitações e interesses

The Benzylpenicillin (PENG) have been as the active ingredient in veterinary medicinal products, to increase productivity, due to its therapeutic properties. However, one of unfortunate quality and used indiscriminately, resulting in residues in foods exposed to human consumption, especially in milk that is essential to the diet of children and the ageing. Thus, it is indispensable to develop new methods able to detect this waste food, at levels that are toxic to human health, in order to contribute to the food security of consumers and collaborate with regulatory agencies in an efficient inspection. In this work, were developed methods for the quality control of veterinary drugs based on Benzylpenicillin (PENG) that are used in livestock production. Additionally, were validated methodologies for identifying and quantifying the antibiotic residues in milk bovine and caprine. For this, the analytical control was performed two steps. At first, the groups of samples of medicinal products I, II, III, IV and V, individually, were characterized by medium infrared spectroscopy (4000 – 600 cm-1). Besides, 37 samples, distributed in these groups, were analyzed by spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and near infrared region (UV VIS NIR) and Ultra Fast Liquid Chromatograph coupled to linear arrangement photodiodes (UFLC-DAD). The results of the characterization indicated similarities, between PENG and reference standard samples, primarily in regions of 1818 to 1724 cm-1 of ν C=O that shows primary amides features of PENG. The method by UFLC-DAD presented R on 0.9991. LOD of 7.384 × 10-4 μg mL-1. LOQ of 2.049 × 10-3 μg mL-1. The analysis shows that 62.16% the samples presented purity ≥ 81.21%. The method by spectroscopy in the UV VIS NIR presented medium error ≤ 8 – 12% between the reference and experimental criteria, indicating is a secure choice for rapid determination of PENG. In the second stage, was acquiring a method for the extraction and isolation of PENG by the addition of buffer McIlvaine, used for precipitation of proteins total, at pH 4.0. The results showed excellent recovery values PENG, being close to 92.05% of samples of bovine milk (method 1). While samples of milk goats (method 2) the recovery of PENG were 95.83%. The methods for UFLC-DAD have been validated in accordance with the maximum residue limit (LMR) of 4 μg Kg-1 standardized by CAC/GL16. Validation of the method 1 indicated R by 0.9975. LOD of 7.246 × 10-4 μg mL-1. LOQ de 2.196 × 10-3 μg mL-1. The application of the method 1 showed that 12% the samples presented concentration of residues of PENG > LMR. The method 2 indicated R by 0.9995. LOD 8.251 × 10-4 μg mL-1. LOQ de 2.5270 × 10-3 μg mL-1. The application of the method showed that 15% of the samples were above the tolerable. The comparative analysis between the methods pointed better validation for LCP samples, because the reduction of the matrix effect, on this account the tcalculs < ttable, caused by the increase of recovery of the PENG. In this mode, all the operations developed to deliver simplicity, speed, selectivity, reduced analysis time and reagent use and toxic solvents, particularly if compared to the established methodologies.

Nalguns países, sendo Portugal um desses casos, o sistema de comercialização dos medicamentos, através das farmácias de comunidade, é baseado em embalagens, com diferentes quantidades, e não por sistema de dispensa individual. Aquele sistema conduz a um número significativo de medicamentos que são adquiridos em quantidades superiores às necessárias e, mesmo nos casos de antibióticos, nem sempre consumidos integralmente. Não pretendemos debater especificamente este tema, mas sim o facto de sabermos que, entre outras razões, temos aqui uma causa para que existam medicamentos fora de prazo, em número significativo, nas casas das famílias portuguesas. Trata-se de uma importante questão de âmbito económico e social, que pressupomos ter uma forte ligação com a atitude de cidadania e responsabilidade social que num país como o nosso se espera dos seus cidadãos.É que o tratamento dos resíduos medicamentosos é de grande acuidade para a saúde pública. Em Portugal existe uma empresa licenciada pelo Estado, que apresentamos, e cuja estrutura societária é integrada por entidades ligadas ao mercado do medicamento nas diversas vertentes do mesmo. Esta empresa, sem fins lucrativos, visa alertar a comunidade para a importância da recolha dos resíduos medicamentosos através das farmácias, de forma a utilizar o sistema de distribuição já existente no sentido inverso e preocupa-se em explicar a relevância de não se utilizarem os depósitos normais de outros tipos de lixo. Enquadrando o nosso estudo com referências ao desenvolvimento económico, cidadania e política ambiental, procuramos encontrar variáveis económicas e sociais que possam explicar a motivação dos cidadãos devolverem nas farmácias aqueles resíduos, bem como as Eventuais diferenças de comportamento entre munícipes de vários distritos.Ahipótese que pomos é a de estes comportamentos estarem directamente relacionados com desenvolvimento económico e social, sendo naturalmente expectável que tal possa ser considerado lógico. Este trabalho vem na sequência de um primeiro passo que deu início à investigação em causa.

The present study utilized the thermogravimetry (TG) and optical emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma - ICP / OES to determine the calcium content in tablets of carbonate, citrate and calcium lactate used in the treatment of osteoporosis. The samples were characterized by IR, SEM, TG / DTG, DTA, DSC and XRD. The thermal analysis evaluated the thermal stability and physical-chemical events and showed that the excipients influence the decomposition of active ingredients. The results of thermogravimetry indicated that the decomposition temperature of the active CaCO3 (T = 630.2 °C) is lower compared to that obtained in samples of the tablets (633.4 to 655.2 °C) except for sample AM 2 (Ti = 613.8 oC). In 500.0 °C in the samples of citrate and calcium lactate, as well as their respective active principles had already been formed calcium carbonate. The use of N2 atmosphere resulted in shifting the initial and final temperature related to the decomposition of CaCO3. In the DTA and DSC curves were observed endo and exothermic events for the samples of tablets and active ingredients studied. The infrared spectra identified the main functional groups in all samples of active ingredients, excipients and tablets studied, such as symmetric and asymmetric stretches of the groups OH, CH, C = O. Analysis by X-ray diffraction showed that all samples are crystalline and that the final residue showed peaks indicative of the presence of calcium hydroxide by the reaction of calcium oxide with moisture of the air. Although the samples AM 1, AM 2, AM 3 and AM 6 in their formulations have TiO2 and SiO2 peaks were not observed in X-ray diffractograms of these compounds. The results obtained by TGA to determine the calcium content of the drugs studied were satisfactory when compared with those obtained by ICP-OES. In the AM 1 tablet was obtained the content of 35.37% and 32.62% for TG by ICP-OES, at 6 AM a percentage of 17.77% and 16.82% and for AM 7 results obtained were 8.93% for both techniques, showing that the thermogravimetry can be used to determine the percentage of calcium in tablets. The technique offers speed, economy in the use of samples and procedures eliminating the use of acid reagents in the process of the sample and efficiency results.
