Enhanced adsorption of target branched compounds including antibiotic norfloxacin frameworks on mild steel surface for efficient protection: An experimental and molecular modelling study

In this study, an approach was proposed to employ new target branched compounds(TBCs) including multiple antibiotic norfloxacin frameworks for intensified adsorption films to achieve super protection of mild steel in HCl medium. Thus, the TBCs containing bis/tri norfloxacin skeletons were synthesized by multi-step preparation route. In addition, the reference linear compound(RLC) including a single norfloxacin part was also synthesized. The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by various means. It was demonstrated that the TBCs could form the tough adsorption films on the surface of mild steel, which could be processed mainly through chemisorption effect. The electrochemical analysis suggested that the TBCs displayed superior corrosion inhibition performance for low carbon steel in1.0 mol·L^(-1) HCl solution over the RLC(RLC, 87.80%;TBC1, 97.63%;TBC2, 98.35%), which was further understood by the molecular modelling. The isotherm adsorption plots were employed to analyze the spontaneous adsorption process of the TBCs on low carbon steel surface, and a prominent chemisorption could be inferred by the standard Gibbs free energy changes of the adsorption.

诺氟沙星(Norfloxacin)对蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响

以蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)为实验材料,研究了喹诺酮类药物诺氟沙星(Norfloxacin,NFLX)对小球藻生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响.结果表明,NFLX对小球藻的96hEC50为30.78mg·L-1,属于低毒.NFLX暴露对小球藻谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GST)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)具有显著影响,当NFLX浓度高于30mg·L-1时,小球藻GST活性受到显著诱导,并随NFLX浓度增加而显著升高,而小球藻CAT活性随NFLX暴露浓度的升高表现出先诱导后抑制现象.NFLX对谷胱甘肽(GSH)和7-乙氧基-异吩唑酮-脱乙基酶(EROD)的影响较弱.在低浓度NFLX暴露下,GST和CAT可作为NFLX暴露的生物标记物.

Impacts of soil organic matter, pH and exogenous copper on sorption behavior of norfloxacin in three soils

Norfloxacin sorption and the factors （soil organic matter （SOM）, pH, and exogenous copper （Cu） influencing the sorption were investigated in a black soil （soil B）, a fluvo-aquic soil （soil F）, and a red soil （soil R）. With increasing norfloxacin concentrations, sorption amount of norfloxacin increased in both the bulk soils and their SOM-removed soils, but the sorption capacity of SOM-removed soils was higher than that of their corresponding bulk soils, indicating that the process of norfloxacin sorption in soil was influenced by the soil properties including SOM. The sorption data in all bulk soils and SOM-removed soils were fitted to Freundlich and Langmuir models. The correlation coefficients suggested that the experimental data fitted better to Freundlich equation than to Langmuir equation. Furthermore, the data from soil F and SOM-removed F could not be described by Langmuir equation. The norfloxacin sorption amount decreased in soil B and soil F, whereas it increased in soil R as solution pH increased. The maximum KD and Koc were achieved in soil R when the equilibrium solution pH was 6. The norfloxacin sorption was also influenced by the exogenous Cu^2＋, which depended on the soil types and Cu^2＋ concentrations. With increasing Cu^2＋ concentrations in solution, generally, sorption amount, KD and Koc for norfloxacin in soils increased and were up to a peak at 100 mg/L Cu^2＋, and then the sorption amount decreased regardless of norfloxacin levels.

Exploring a broadened operating pH range for norfloxacin removal via simulated solar-light-mediated Bi_2WO_6 process

Semiconductor photocatalysis can be operated over a narrow pH range for wastewater treatment. In this study, a simulated solar-light-mediated bismuth tungstate (SSL/Bi2WO6) process is found to be effective for norfloxacin degradation over a narrow pH range. To broaden the operating pH range of the SSL/Bi2WO6 process, an NH4+ buffer system and an Fe3+ salt were introduced under extremely basic and acidic pH conditions, respectively. The NH4+ buffer system continuously supplied hydroxyl ions to generate ·OH radicals and prevented acidification of the solution, resulting in improved norfloxacin removal and mineralization removal under alkaline conditions. In contrast, the Fe3+ salt offered an additional homogeneous photo-sensitization pathway. The former treatment assisted in norfloxacin decay and the latter increased the collision frequency between the photo-generated hole and hydroxyl ions. Moreover, the effect of parameters such as pH and Fe3+ dosage was optimized.

Effect of bismuth tungstate with different hierarchical architectures on photocatalytic degradation of norfloxacin under visible light

The photocatalytic degradation of norfloxacin by bismuth tungstate(Bi2WO6)with different hierarchical architectures wasinvestigated under visible light irradiation.Bi2WO6was prepared by hydrothermal method with the reaction solution pH rangingfrom4to11.The relatively ultrathin Bi2WO6nanoflakes prepared at pH4showed excellent adsorption and photodegradationefficiency towards norfloxacin.The characterization results showed that Bi2WO6prepared at pH4had a larger specific area andfaster photo-generated carrier separation rate.The decay rate reached the maximum in weak alkaline reaction solution,which couldbe attributed to the presence of moderate OH-anions.The present study demonstrated that the smaller size of Bi2WO6could be anefficient photocatalyst on the degradation of norfloxacin in the aquatic environment.

Enhancement of norfloxacin solubility via inclusion complexation with β-cyclodextrin and its derivative hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin

The objectives of the study were to investigate the effects of β-cyclodextrin(βCD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin(HPβCD) on the solubility and dissolution rate of norfloxacin prepared using three different methods, at drug to cyclodextrin weight ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8. All the methods increased the solubility and dissolution rate of norfloxacin via inclusion complexation with βCD and HPβCD. Norfloxacin was converted from crystalline to amorphous form through inclusion complexation. Solvent evaporation method was the most effective method in terms of norfloxacin solubilisation, while inclusion complex of HPβCD has higher solubility than βCD complex when prepared using the same procedure.

Adsorption and degradation of norfloxacin by a novel molecular imprinting magnetic Fenton-like catalyst

In this study,a novel magnetically separable adsorbent,molecular imprinting magnetic γ-Fe_2O_3/crosslinked chitosan composites(MIPs),were prepared by a microemulsion process.Adsorption and Fenton-like oxidative degradation of a model pharmaceutical pollutant norfloxacin(NOR) by using MIPs were investigated.Various characterization methods were used to study the properties of MIPs,and it is suggested that the hydroxyl groups are the main adsorption sites for NOR.MIPs present better selective adsorption for NOR than its reference antibiotic sulfadiazine.The NOR adsorption data can be well fitted by Langmuir isotherm model and pseudosecond-order kinetic model.The optimum pH range for NOR adsorption is 7-10.In addition,the MIP-catalyzed Fenton-like system(MIPs/H_2O_2) exhibits remarkably faster removal rate for NOR than the case of γ-Fe_2O_3/H_2O_2.The result indicates that MIPs will be a good functional material in decontamination of pharmaceutical wastewaters since MIPs can be magnetically recycled after the treatment.

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Ni(Ⅱ)Complex with Norfloxacin

The thermal decomposition of the 2H2O (NFA=C16H18FN3O3, norfloxacin) and its kinetics were studied under the nonisothermal condition in nitrogen by TGDTG and DTA methods. The intermediate and residue for each decomposition were identified from TG curve. The Achar method and the MadhusudananKrishnanNinan (MKN) method were used to analyze the nonisothermal kinetic data. The possible reaction mechanisms were investigated by comparing the kinetic parameters. The kinetic equation for the third stage and the mathematical expressions for the kinetic compensation effects of the third stage were obtained.

A molecularly imprinted polymer was synthesized using 2-（diethylamino）ethylmethacry -late（DEM） and bismethacryloyl-β-cyclodextrin（BMA-β-CD） as bi-functional monomers and norfloxacin（NOF） as a template. The results of equilibrium binding experiments indicated that the polymer has affinity and specificity for NOF in aqueous media, and that its selective recognition ability for the template was higher than that of the imprinted polymers synthesized with a single functional monomer （BMA-β-CD or DEM）.

Minor Groove Binding between Norfloxacin and DNA Duplexes in Solution: A Molecular Dynamics Study

Molecular dynamics were used to investigate the interaction between norfloxacin and DNA duplex. The results showed that norfloxacin was situated in the minor groove of DNA, binding to the TCGA region of d [ATATCGATAT] 2- Specific hydrogen bonds were formed between norfloxacin and guanine base of DNA during the 2 ns MD, which may be the reason for the preferentiality of quinolone antibacterial towards the guanine base of DNA duplex.

Effects of Norfloxacin on the Superoxide Dismutase Activities of 2 Sturgeon Species

[Objective]This study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of Norfloxacin on the superoxide dismutase （ SOD） activities in the blood plasma and liver tissues of Amur sturgeon （ Acipenser schrencki Brandt） and sterlet （ Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus） . [Method] Using pharmaco-toxicological evaluation method,Norfloxacin with the concentrations of 0,20,40,60,80 and 100 mg /kg,was orally delivered to the Amur sturgeon and sterlet for 5 d,respectively. The SOD activities in the blood plasma and liver tissues were measured after drug withdrawal for 2 d to explore the optimal dosing concentration of Norfloxacin during sturgeon culture,as well as the effect of Norfloxacin on liver injury. [Result] SOD existed in both two sturgeons but with different amounts,and the SOD activities were higher in the livers than in the blood plasma no matter in the control and all drug delivered groups. Under different drug delivery concentrations,the SOD activities first increased and then decreased in the 2 tissues of the 2 sturgeon species,and the SOD activities reached the maximum when the drug delivery concentration was 40 mg /kg. The drug de- livery concentration had little effect on the SOD activities in the blood plasma,which showed stable changes. When the drug delivery concentration was 40 mg /kg,the SOD activities in the blood plasma of Amur sturgeon were higher than that of sterlet,while for the other concentrations,the SOD activities in the plasma of sterlet showed higher performance. However,the SOD activities changed significantly through drug delivery in the liver tis- sues,and the SOD activities were higher in the sterlet than in the Amur sturgeon when the drug delivery concentrations were 0,40 and 100 mg /kg. The SOD activity in the sterlet was the highest under 40 mg /kg,presenting a sharp peak value. The optimal drug delivery concentration of Norfloxa- cin was 30 -50 mg /kg,under which the Norfloxacin presented best effect and had no injury effect on livers. [Conclusion]This study provides theo- retical basis for the reasonable application of Norfloxacin in aquaculture.

Synthesis of carbon quantum dots decorating Bi_(2)MoO_(6) microspherical heterostructure and its efficient photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic norfloxacin

In this study,three-dimensional microspherical CQDs/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)heterostructures were synthesized using a simple alcohol-thermal method.It was found that the CQDs/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)had a large specific surface area of 56.0 m^(2)/g,and the introduction of CQDs extended the light absorption spectrum from 480 nm to 496 nm.When utilizing the synthesized CQDs/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)composite for photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic nor-floxacin in a water environment,complete decay of norfloxacin and effective removal of total organic car-bon(TOC)were achieved within 30 min.Through the optimization of material synthesis and experimen-tal conditions,the optimal CQDs loading amount was determined as 200μL,the optimal CQDs/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)dosage was 0.8 g/L.Moreover,the CQDs/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)worked well under a wide pH range of 4.4-10.8.The co-existence of HCO_(3)−enhanced the norfloxacin decay,while the presence of Cl^(−),NO_(3)^(−),and SO_(4)^(2−)slightly retarded it.The synthesized CQDs/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)had the great potential in removing and mineralizing nor-floxacin in real aquatic environments.

A data-based review on norfloxacin degradation by persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes:Systematic evaluation and mechanisms

Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)have obtained increasing attention due to the generation of sulfate radical(SO_(4)-)with high reactivity for organic contaminants degradation,Numerous activation methods have been used to activate two common persulfates:peroxymonosulfate(PMS)and peroxydisulfate(PDS).However,the comparisons of activation methods and two oxidants in the comprehensive degradation performance of the target contaminant are still limited.Thus,taking norfloxacin(NOR)as the target contaminant,we proposed five key parameters(the observed pseudo-first-order rate constant,kobs;average mineralization rate,rm;utilization efficiency of catalyst,Ucat;utilization efficiency of oxidant,Uox;and net utilization efficiency of oxidant,Uox')to quantify the comprehensive degradation performance of NOR.The irradiation affected target pollutants,catalysts,and oxidants,leading to an improved degradation performance of NOR.Various heterogeneous catalysts were compared in terms of the key elements contained.Fe,Co,and Mn-based materials performed better,while carbon-based catalysts performed poorly on NOR degradation.The overall degradation performance of NOR was different for PMS and PDS,which can be ascribed to their varied reaction pathways towards NOR,but stemmed from different properties of PMS and PDS.Besides,the effect of pH on the degradation efficiency of NOR was investigated.A neutral solution was optimal for PMS system,while an acidic solution worked better for PDS system.Finally,we analyzed the molecule structure of NOR by density functional theory(DFT)calculation to study the sites easy to attack.Then,we summarized four typical degradation pathways of NOR in SO_(4)^(-)-based AOP systems,including defluorination,piperazine ring cleavage,piperazine ring oxidation,and quinoline group transformation.

诺氟沙星在黄河上游沉积物中的吸附/解吸行为及影响因素探究

选取诺氟沙星(NOR)为目标污染物,以黄河上游沉积物为主要研究对象,采用批平衡方法,研究NOR在沉积物上的吸附/解吸行为,在不同环境条件下(初始浓度、离子强度及类型、pH值、粒径等)对吸附的影响来探究其吸附/解吸规律,结合相关动力学、热力学模型来探究其吸附机制.结果表明:动力学符合准二级动力学模型(R2>0.996),表明吸附和解吸过程均为多种作用控制的复合机制,且解吸有明显的滞后现象.热力学结果显示,Freundlich模型拟合结果最好(R2>0.981),Linear模型次之(R2>0.937),表明非均相表面的多分子层吸附和疏水分配作用均影响NOR在沉积物上吸附行为的关键机制,且温度升高加速NOR在水相的迁移风险.随NOR初始浓度增大,吸附量随之增加,且平衡时间相应延长;pH表现为酸性促进NOR吸附,碱性情况下迁移风险增加;共存可溶性离子对NOR吸附影响结果表明,同种离子共存时,浓度越大,NOR在沉积物上的吸附抑制作用越强;不同共存离子对吸附的影响主要与共存离子特性有关,如离子半径、阳离子交换能力及水解性等,价态的升高,抑制作用越强;粒径越小,吸附量越大.研究结果将为控制黄河上游水体中抗生素类污染物的环境行为及控制提供科学依据.

利用低能N^(+)注入诱变筛选耐诺氟沙星的金黄色葡萄球菌,通过基因组测序、耐药表型和生物被膜分析,探索低能N^(+)注入驱动金黄色葡萄球菌产生诺氟沙星耐药性的机制。结果表明,利用低能N^(+)注入诱变获得81株耐诺氟沙星的金黄色葡萄球菌,其中44株耐药菌16S rRNA或耐药基因出现片段缺失、插入、点突变和拷贝数变化;且基因变化高的耐药菌的药物外排蛋白、生物被膜的生物量和密度显著增加,对诺氟沙星的耐药性提高了8~16倍,并对5~8种抗菌药物产生了多重耐药。说明低能N^(+)注入可能通过介导金黄色葡萄球菌16S rRNA或相关耐药基因变异,调控细菌药物外排蛋白表达量增加和生物被膜形成能力增强,进而介导菌株产生耐药性。

诺氟沙星对刺参肠道菌群结构与功能特征的影响

近年来,诺氟沙星(norfloxacin,NOR)在水环境中被广泛检出。为探究NOR对棘皮动物的毒性效应,选取刺参(Apostichopus japonicus)为研究对象,将其暴露于0 mg·L^(-1)、1.5×10^(-1) mg·L^(-1)和150 mg·L^(-1)浓度诺氟沙星中56 d,研究NOR暴露对刺参肠道菌群结构及功能的影响。结果显示:刺参肠道核心菌群为变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia)。与对照组相比,随着环境中NOR暴露浓度的增加,刺参肠道菌群逐渐被罗尔斯通氏菌(Ralstonia)取代,150 mg·L^(-1) NOR处理组罗尔斯通氏菌相对丰度占比高达79.82%,呈现出肠道菌群单一化的现象。基于京都基因与基因组百科全书(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes,KEGG)代谢通路数据库注释,NOR暴露组肠道菌群mRNA翻译、蛋白质复制合成及修复、多糖合成及代谢通路丰度显著上调(P<0.05),而膜运输、氨基酸代谢通路丰度显著下调(P<0.05)。综上可知,水体中NOR影响了刺参肠道菌群结构与功能。本研究旨为水体抗生素生态风险评估提供一定的理论依据。
