Research Progress on Nitrofurazone and Its Metabolite ofSemicarbazide in Animal-derived Food
Nitrofurazone,as anitrofuran antibiotic,had been widely used inaquaculture. However,the semicarbazide(SEM),a kind of metabolite generated bynitrofurazone within animal's body,could closelyincorporate with cell membrane protein to form bound residues which wouldexisted in animal's body for a long time with carcinogenicity andteratogenicity. In this paper,the pharmacologicaleffects and application of nitrofurazone were briefly introduced. Besides,the research progress,advantages anddisadvantages of the main methods for SEM detection,includinghigh performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)and its combined technology and immunoassay were summarized,the sources of SEM in food was also summarized,hoping to comprehensively recognize the nitrofurazone and itsmetabolite of semicarbazide,and to provide theoreticalfoundation for further research.
