Abstract
Quinolone (QN) antibiotics are a kind of broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used in the treatment of human and animal diseases. They have the characteristics of strong antibacterial activity, stable metabolism, low production cost, and no cross-resistance with other antibacterial drugs. They are widely used in the world. QN antibiotics cannot be completely digested and absorbed in organisms and are often excreted in urine and feces in the form of original drugs or metabolites, which are widely occurring in surface water, groundwater, aquaculture wastewater, sewage treatment plants, sediments, and soil environment, thus causing environmental pollution. In this paper, the pollution status, biological toxicity, and removal methods of QN antibiotics at home and abroad were reviewed. Literature data showed that QNs and its metabolites had serious ecotoxicity. Meanwhile, the spread of drug resistance induced by continuous emission of QNs should not be ignored. In addition, adsorption, chemical oxidation, photocatalysis, and microbial removal of QNs are often affected by a variety of experimental conditions, and the removal is not complete, so it is necessary to combine a variety of processes to efficiently remove QNs in the future.

Fe xN produced in pharmaceutical sludge biochar by endogenous Fe and exogenous N doping to enhance peroxymonosulfate activation for levofloxacin degradation. WATER RESEARCH 2022; 224:119022. [PMID: 36099758 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.119022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
For preparing high performance biochar to be applicated in persulfate-based oxidation treatment of wastewater, the feasibility of deriving Fe-N biochar from pharmaceutical sludge by endogenous Fe and exogenous N doping was investigated. With exogenous urea doping, FexN contained biochar (PZBC800U) was successfully derived from endogenous Fe(OH)3 contained pharmaceutical sludge. PZBC800U effectively activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to remove 80 mg·L-1 levofloxacin (LEV) within 90 min. The main mechanism of PMS activation by PZBC800U for LEV degradation was revealed as non-radical pathways dominated by 1O2 generation and direct electron transfer. The formation of FexN combined with the increase of pyridinic-N in the biochar changed the electronic structure, improved the electron transfer ability, and thus achieved the excellent PMS activation capacity of the biochar. The vital function of endogenous Fe(OH)3 was verified by comparing PZBC800U to Fe leached and extra Fe added controls. A total of 18 intermediates in the degradation of LEV were identified, and degradation pathways were proposed. Combined with the average local ionization energy calculation, the priority of piperazine breakage during LEV degradation was experimentally proved and mechanistically elucidated. This study provides a new insight into FexN biochar preparation from pharmaceutical sludge and the mechanisms of its excellent PMS activation performance for LEV degradation.

Abstract
A novel dual-template magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was synthesized to extract normetanephrine (NMN), metanephrine (MN) and 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) from spot urine samples. As the adsorbent of dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE), the MMIP was prepared using dopamine and MN as dual templates, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinking reagent and magnetic nanoparticles as the magnetic core. NMN, MN, 3-MT and creatinine (Cr) in spot urine samples were selectively enriched by d-SPE and detected by HPLC-fluorescence detection/ultraviolet detection. The peak area (A) ratios of NMN, MN and 3-MT to Cr were used for the diagnosis of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs). The results showed that the adsorption efficiencies of MMIP for target analytes were all higher than 89.0%, and the coefficient variation precisions of intra-assay and inter-assay for the analytes were within 4.9% and 6.3%, respectively. The recoveries of the analytes were from 93.2% to 112.8%. The MMIP was still functional within 14 days and could be reused at least seven times. The d-SPE and recommended solid-phase extraction (SPE) were both used to pretreat spot urine samples from 18 PPGLs patients and 22 healthy controls. The correlation coefficients of ANMN/ACr and AMN/ACr between d-SPE and SPE were both higher than 0.95. In addition, the areas under the receiver operator curves for spot urine ANMN/ACr, AMN/ACr and plasma free NMN and MN were 0.975, 0.773 and 0.990, 0.821, respectively, indicating the two methods had the similar performances. The d-SPE method took only 20 min, which was effective in clinical application.

Abstract
We investigate the role of black-headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus), an omnivorous species that is among the most likely wild bird candidates for transmission of zoonotic agents, as a potential reservoir of Campylobacter spp. Colonies with different anthropogenic pressures were studied to examine differences in exposure to sources of Campylobacter between rural and urban birds. We recorded Campylobacter spp. in 4.87% of adult black-headed gulls and 2.22% of their chicks after analysing 1036 cloacal swabs collected over two breeding seasons in three colonies in northern Poland. Campylobacter jejuni was found most frequently (85.72%), and Campylobacter lari and Campylobacter coli were much scarcer. Prevalence of Campylobacter did not differ significantly between black-headed gulls breeding in urban (4.27%) and rural (3.80%) habitats. Almost all isolates from chicks and adults were susceptible to azithromycin (97.62%) and erythromycin (95.24%), but fewer to tetracycline (50.00%) and ciprofloxacin (47.62%). Campylobacter prevalence was unrelated to the date of sampling. Our study indicates that black-headed gulls are carriers of resistant to antibiotics Campylobacter and they can contaminate natural waterbodies with their faeces, which poses a threat to human and farm animal health.

Water-soluble manganese porphyrins as good catalysts for cipro- and levofloxacin degradation: Solvent effect, degradation products and DFT insights. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 268:129334.

Abstract
Synthetic manganese porphyrins (MnPs), in the presence of oxidants, were employed for the degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and levofloxacin (LEV) degradation by iodosylbenzene, iodobenzene diacetate, H2O2 and meta-chloroperbenzoic acid using water-soluble MnP catalysts yielded thirteen and nine products, respectively, seven of which have been proposed for the first time. The MnP catalysts have demonstrated the ability to degrade these antibiotics to a high degree (up to 100% degradation). The structures of the degradation products were proposed based on mass spectrometry analysis, and density functional theory calculations could confirm how the substituent moieties attached to the basic chemical structure of the fluoroquinolones influence the degradation reactions. CIP has been shown to be a more reactive substrate towards the porphyrinic catalysts tested because of its three-membered ring. However, the catalysts could almost completely degrade LEV, highlighting the ability of these porphyrins to act as catalysts to degrade environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Quinolones, such as oxolinic acid (OXA), are antimicrobials commonly used in aquaculture. Thus, its presence in the aquatic environment surrounding aquaculture facilities is quite easy to understand. When present in aquatic environment, pharmaceuticals may be subjected to several attenuation processes that can influence their persistence. Photodegradation, particularly for antibiotics, can have significant importance since these compounds may be resistant to microbial degradation. OXA photodegradation studies reported in literature are very scarce, especially using aquaculture waters, but are markedly important for an appropriate risk assessment. Results hereby presented showed a decrease on photodegradation rate constant from 0.70 ± 0.02 h-1 in ultrapure water to 0.42 ± 0.01 h-1 in freshwater. The decrease on photodegradation rate constant was even more pronounced when brackish water was used (0.172 ± 0.003 h-1). In order to understand which factors contributed to the observed behaviour, environmental factors, such as natural organic matter and salinity, were studied. Results demonstrated that dissolved organic matter (DOM) may explain the decrease of OXA photodegradation observed in freshwater. However, a very sharp decrease of OXA photodegradation was observed in solutions containing NaCl and in synthetic sea salts, which explained the higher decrease observed in brackish water. Moreover, under solar radiation, the use of an 1O2 scavenger allowed us to verify a pronounced retardation of OXA decay, suggesting that 1O2 plays an important role in OXA photodegradation process.

TiO 2 and N-TiO 2 Sepiolite and Zeolite Composites for Photocatalytic Removal of Ofloxacin from Polluted Water. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13030537.

Abstract
TiO2 sepiolite and zeolite composites, as well the corresponding N-doped composites, synthesized through a sol–gel method, were tested for the photocatalytic degradation of a widespread fluoroquinolone antibiotic (ofloxacin) under environmental conditions. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) analyses. A complete drug degradation occurred in 10–15 min in the presence of both TiO2 sepiolite and zeolite catalysts, and in 20–30 min with the N-doped ones. Sepiolite proved to be a better TiO2 support compared to the most common zeolite both in terms of adsorption capacity and photocatalytic efficiency in pollutants degradation. The influence of nitrogen doping (red shift from 3.2 to 3.0 eV) was also investigated. Although it was blurred by a marked increase of the particle dimension and thus a decrease of the specific surface area of the doped catalysts, it allowed a faster drug removal than direct photolysis. The photochemical paths and photoproducts were investigated, too.

Abstract
The use of fluoroquinolones (FQs) antibiotics as therapeutic agents and growth promoters is increasing worldwide; however their extensive uses are also resulting in antibiotic resistance among world communities. FQs have also become one of the major contaminants in the waste water bodies, which are not even completely removed during the treatment processes. Furthermore, their abundance in agricultural resources, such as the irrigation water, the bio-solids and the livestock manure can also affect the soil micro-environment. These antibiotics in soil tend to interact in several different ways to affect soil flora and fauna. The current review endeavors to highlight the some critical aspects of FQs prevalence in the environment. The review presents a detailed discussion on the pathways and abundance of FQs in soil. The discussion further spans the issue of sorption and FQs transformation into the soil better understand of their behavior and their toxicity to soil flora and fauna.

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the recent applications of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to sample preparation. The review is thought to cover analytical procedures for extraction of contaminants (mainly illegal/noxious organic compounds) from food and environmental matrices, with a particular focus on the various pre-concentration/cleanup techniques, that is offline and online solid-phase extraction (SPE), dispersive SPE (d-SPE), magnetic SPE (MSPE), solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), applied before instrumental quantification. The selectivity and extraction efficiency of MIP-based sorbent phases are critically discussed, also in relation to the physical-chemical properties resulting from the synthetic procedures. A variety of molecularly imprinted sorbents is presented, including hybrid composites embedding carbon nanomaterials and ionic liquids. The analytical performance of MIP materials in sample preparation is commented as function of the complexity of the matrix, and it is compared to that exhibited by (commercial) aspecific and/or immunosorbent phases.

Abstract
Three fluoroquinolone-to-fluoroquinolone antibiotic transformations were monitored during UV-C irradiation processes. In particular, the following reactions were observed: enrofloxacin-to-ciprofloxacin, difloxacin-to-sarafloxacin, and pefloxacin-to-norfloxacin. The apparent molar absorptivity and fluence-based pseudo-first-order rate constants for transformation of the six fluoroquinolones by direct photolysis at 253.7 nm were determined for the pH 2-12 range. These parameters were deconvoluted to calculate specific molar absorptivity and fluence-based rate constants for cationic, zwitterionic, and anionic fluoroquinolone species. For a typical disinfection fluence of 40 mJ/cm(2), the apparent transformation efficiencies were inflated by 2-8% when fluoroquinolone products were not considered; moreover, the overall transformation efficiencies at 400 mJ/cm(2) varied by up to 40% depending on pH. The three product antibiotics, namely ciprofloxacin, sarafloxacin, and norfloxacin, were found to be equally or more potent than the parent fluoroquinolones using an Escherichia coli-based assay. UV treatment of a solution containing difloxacin was found to increase antimicrobial activity due to formation of sarafloxacin. These results highlight the importance of considering antibiotic-to-antibiotic transformations in UV-based processes.

Abstract
The transformation of acetaminophen (APAP) in a soil/water system was systematically investigated by a combination of kinetic studies and a quantitative analysis of the reaction intermediates. Biotransformation was the predominant pathway for the elimination of APAP, whereas hydrolysis or other chemical transformation, and adsorption processes made almost no contribution to the transformation under a dark incubation. Bacillus aryabhattai strain 1-Sj-5-2-5-M, Klebsiella pneumoniae strain S001, and Bacillus subtilis strain HJ5 were the main bacteria identified in the biotransformation of APAP. The soil-to-water ratio and soil preincubation were able to alter the transformation kinetic pattern. Light irradiation promoted the overall transformation kinetics through enhanced biotransformation and extra photosensitized chemical reactions. The transformation pathways were strongly dependent on the initial concentration of APAP. The main primary transformation products were APAP oligomers and p-aminophenol, with the initial addition of 26.5 and 530 μM APAP, respectively. APAP oligomers accounted for more than 95% of transformed APAP, indicating that almost no bound residues were generated through the transformation of APAP in the soil/water system. The potential environmental risks of APAP could increase following the transformation of APAP in the soil/water system because of the higher toxicity of the transformation intermediates.

CHEMOSPHERE 2016; 150:686-693.

Abstract
Sepiolite is studied as sorbent for removal of Fluoroquinolone (FQ) contaminants from water. Marbofloxacin (MAR) and Enrofloxacin (ENR) were chosen as model FQs since they are the two most commonly employed veterinary FQs in livestock farming in northern Italy. Adsorption experiments on two sepiolites (SP-1 and SSE16) were carried out in tap water at pH 7.5 to better mimic real conditions. The sorption experimental data were fitted by Freundlich, Langmuir and S-Logistic1 models. The latter better described MAR and ENR adsorptions. Adsorption capacities of SP-1 and SSE16, respectively, were 132 mg g(-1) and 121 mg g(-1) for MAR, and 112 mg g(-1) and 93 mg g(-1) for ENR. X-ray powder diffraction, performed on clay samples enriched with each FQ and on the pristine clays, showed no substantial differences between the two sepiolites and evidenced no significant structural changes after FQs uptake, as also verified by infrared spectroscopy. This indicates that adsorption occurs only on the external surface of the mineral and not in the intracrystalline microporosity, likely due to the interaction between the FQ carboxylic group and the sepiolite surface. For the first time solid-state photodegradation of the adsorbed FQs was investigated for regenerating the sorbent. Results showed that the adsorbed drugs are effectively photodegraded by solar light, thus allowing sepiolite to be reused. The efficiency of this material for remediation of contaminated water was proved on ditch water, collected downstream a swine farm, containing some tens of ng L(-1) of MAR and ENR.

New insights into the aquatic photochemistry of fluoroquinolone antibiotics: Direct photodegradation, hydroxyl-radical oxidation, and antibacterial activity changes. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2015; 527-528:12-7. [PMID: 25956144 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.04.099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2014] [Revised: 04/25/2015] [Accepted: 04/26/2015] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
The ubiquity and photoreactivity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) in surface waters urge new insights into their aqueous photochemical behavior. This study concerns the photochemistry of 6 FQs: ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, levofloxacin, sarafloxacin, difloxacin and enrofloxacin. Methods were developed to calculate their solar direct photodegradation half-lives (td,E) and hydroxyl-radical oxidation half-lives (tOH,E) in sunlit surface waters. The td,E values range from 0.56 min to 28.8 min at 45° N latitude, whereas tOH,E ranges from 3.24h to 33.6h, suggesting that most FQs tend to undergo fast direct photolysis rather than hydroxyl-radical oxidation in surface waters. However, a case study for levofloxacin and sarafloxacin indicated that the hydroxyl-radical oxidation induced risky photochlorination and resulted in multi-degradation pathways, such as piperazinyl hydroxylation and clearage. Changes in the antibacterial activity of FQs caused by photodegradation in various waters were further examined using Escherichia coli, and it was found that the activity evolution depended on primary photodegradation pathways and products. Primary intermediates with intact FQ nuclei retained significant antibacterial activity. These results are important for assessing the fate and risk of FQs in surface waters.

Abstract
The photodegradation of Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Enrofloxacin (ENR), Danofloxacin (DAN), Marbofloxacin (MAR) and Levofloxacin (LEV), five widely used fluoroquinolones (FQs), was studied in urban WWTP secondary effluent, under solar light. The degradation profiles and the kinetic constants were determined at the micrograms per litre levels (20-50 μg L(-1)). The photo-generated products were identified by high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). The toxicity of the photoproducts was assessed by Vibrio fischeri light emission inhibition assay performed on irradiated and not-irradiated FQs solutions, at environmentally significant concentrations. Attention was focused on the evaluation of the photoproducts contribution to the overall biotoxic effect of these emerging pollutants. Data from chronic exposure experiments (24-48 h) were primarily considered. Results confirmed the major usefulness of chronic toxicity data with respect to the acute assay ones and proved the not negligible biotoxicity of the FQs photodegradation products.
