The electrolysis of amoxicillin (AMX) was carried out on CNT, Pt/CNT and Ru/CNT modified electrodes based on Carbon Toray in 0.1 M NaOH, 0.1 M NaCl and 0.1 M Na2CO3/NaHCO3 buffer (pH 10) media with the aim of studying the significance of two factors, electrode material and pH, on the oxidative degradation and mineralization of AMX. For this purpose, the electrolysis products were identified by HPLC-MS and GC–MS, and quantified by HPLC-UV-RID and IC. The highest carbon mineralization efficiency, corresponding to 30% of the oxidized AMX, was found for Pt/CNT modified electrode in carbonate buffer medium. Regarding to the AMX conversion, the results show that the effect of pH is higher than that of the electrode material. Principal component analysis allowed to determine the experimental parameters vs. product distribution relationship and to elucidate the oxidation pathways for the studied electrodes. The results show that the hydroxylation of the aromatic ring and the nitrogen atom play an important role on the efficient degradation of AMX.

The electroreactivity of amoxicillin (AMX) was studied on catalysts based on platinum, palladium and ruthenium supported on carbon nanotubes (Pt/CNT, Pd/CNT, Ru/CNT) in aqueous media using cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammograms show two oxidation proces

The accumulation of antibiotics in wastewater has led to the development and spreading of antibiotic resistance in the environment. Amoxicillin (Amox), a beta-lactamic antibiotic, is one of the most frequently consumed antibiotics in the world. We have applied two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) containing zinc(II) as platforms to degrade Amox. We have predicted the adsorption of this antibiotic via molecular docking calculations which have been further corroborated by means of Fourier transform infrared and UV-Vis spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning microscopy measurements. We have subsequently performed mass spectrometry analysis of Amox@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and Amox@Zn(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) (ZnBDC) to demonstrate the degradation of Amox upon contact with the Zn-containing frameworks. We propose a possible pathway for the degradation of Amox involving the cleavage of the four-membered β-lactam ring. These Zn-containing frameworks provide a biocompatible platform for the degradation in solution of Amox, which should also be suitable to degrade other β-lactam antibiotics.
