Diazepam (DZP) was routinely prescribed to a large population troubled with anxiety disorders. However, due to the overuse and misuse, DZP and its chlorination disinfection byproduct 2-methylamino-5-chlorobenzophenone (MACB) caused environmental pollution and can be detected ubiquitously in drinking water in Beijing, China. However, little information is known about the metabolic dynamics of MACB. Here, we established desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) imaging method to visually and quantitatively assess the distribution and metabolism of MACB in zebrafish. The results showed that MACB specifically accumulated in spinal cord particularly in female zebrafish. Meanwhile, the accumulation of MACB could pass through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and induced microglial phagocytosis of neurons. Therefore, the intervention strategies should be explored to restrict the release of such substances, eliminating the potential risks for both human beings and the eco-environment.
