Detection and quantification of multiclass antibiotic residues in poultry products using solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection.
This article describes the initial study on the simultaneous determination of multiclass antibiotic residues in imported and local frozen poultry specimens, including turkey gizzard and muscle tissues, and chicken muscle tissues, commonly consumed in Ogun State, Nigeria. Minced tissues were treated with phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 7 that was cleaned using C18 SPE-column (Supelclean™) cartridge. For the determination of six antibiotic residues including fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides, and macrolides, a solid-phase extraction method was used, followed by extract analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). The coefficient of determination (R) for the external standards for all the analytes ranged between 0.963 and 0.999. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) ranged between 5.37 - 55.4 μg/kg, and 17.9-185 μg/kg, respectively. Enrofloxacin, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamerazine, and tylosin showed high concentration levels in the frozen poultry beyond acceptable maximum residue limits (MRLs). The six drugs considered in this study were present at higher concentrations in domestic chicken tissues than the permissible level. This suggests that farmers do not observe the cessation period before poultry birds previously treated with antibiotics are sold to consumers thus exposing them to potentially hazardous antibiotic residues.

The role of aquatic natural organic matter (NOM) in the removal of contaminants of emerging concern has been widely studied. Sulfamerazine (SMR), a sulfonamide antibiotic detected in aquatic environments, is implicated in environmental toxicity and may contribute to the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. In aquatic systems sulfonamides may undergo direct photodegradation, and, indirect photodegradation through the generation of reactive species. Because some forms of NOM inhibit the photodegradation there is an increasing interest in correlating the spectroscopic parameters of NOM as potential indicators of its degradation in natural waters. Under the conditions used in this study, SMR hydrolysis was shown to be negligible; however, direct photolysis is a significant in most of the solutions studied. Photodegradation was investigated using standard solutions of NOM: Suwannee River natural organic matter (SRNOM), Suwannee River humic acid (SRHA), Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA), and Aldrich humic acid (AHA). The steady-state concentrations and formation rates of the reactive species and the SMR degradation rate constants (k1) were correlated with NOM spectroscopic parameters determined using UV-vis absorption, excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR). SMR degradation rate constants (k1) were correlated with steady-state concentrations of NOM triplet-excited state ([(3)NOM(∗)]ss) and the corresponding formation rates ((3)NOM*) for SRNOM, SRHA, and AHA. The efficiency of SMR degradation was highest in AHA solution and was inhibited in solutions of SRFA. The steady-state concentrations of singlet oxygen ([(1)O2]ss) and the SMR degradation rate constants with singlet oxygen (k1O2) were linearly correlated with the total fluorescence and inversely correlated with the carbohydrate/protein content ((1)H NMR) for all forms of NOM. The total fluorescence and EEMs Peak A were confirmed as indicators of (1)O2 formation. Specific ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA254) and aromaticity showed potential correlations with the steady-state concentrations of hydroxyl radical ([HO]ss) and the corresponding formation rates (HO).

The partition of antibiotics and antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) between the microplastics (MPs) and the surrounding water with various salinity are still unclear. In this study, we hypothesized that adsorption of antibiotics on MPs might cause a significant change of the structure of microbial communities, diversity and abundance of ARGs on MPs and this might be further affected by change of salinity. In this study, we investigated adsorption of four common antibiotics (sulfamerazine, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and tylosin) to polyethylene (PE) MPs in river, estuary and marine waters, and the differences of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) and bacterial communities on MPs and in the three waters. The results showed that MPs can enrich antibiotics, ARGs and microbes from the surrounding water. Elevated salinity could reduce adsorption of antibiotics to MPs and the abundance of ARGs. For example, MPs can concentrate more antibiotics and ARGs in the fresh river water than in the estuary and the marine waters. In addition, ARGs and bacterial communities on MPs at various salinity were significantly different under the pressure of four antibiotics. On MPs, sul1, sulA/folP-01, tetA, tetC, tetX and ermE increased significantly but a few new ARGs such as sulA/folP-01 and tetA appeared. The structure of the bacterial communities on MPs was different from the surrounding water since some bacteria species found on MPs were barely detected in the surrounding water while some genera on MPs vanished after exposure to antibiotics. As the antibiotics adsorbed and the ARGs on MPs decreased with the water salinity, the structure of the communities on MPs thus varied with salinity change. These findings are important to understand the effects of MPs on the transport, fate and ecological risk of antibiotics and ARGs in different aquatic environments.

New imidazolinone-based benzenesulfonamides 3a-e and 4a-e were synthesized in three steps and their chemical structures were confirmed by H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The benzenesulfonamides used were sulfacetamide (3a, 4a), sulfaguanidine (3b, 4b), sulfanilamide (3c, 4c), sulfadiazine (3d, 4d), sulfamerazine (3e), and sulfathiazole (4e). The compounds were evaluated against carbonic anhydrase (CA) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymes to obtain possible drug candidate/s. The lead compounds of the series were 3a and 4a against human CA (hCA) I, whereas 3d and 4a were leads against hCA II in terms of K values. Series 4 includes more effective CAs inhibitors than series 3 (except 3d). Series 4 compounds having a nitro group (except 4d) were 3.3-4.8 times more selective inhibitors than their corresponding analogues 3a-d in series 3, in which hydrogen was located in place of the nitro group, by considering K values against hCA II. Compounds 3c and 4c, where the sulfanilamide moiety is available, were the leads in terms of AChE inhibition with the lowest K values. The use of secondary sulfonamides was a more effective modification on CA inhibition, whereas the primary sulfonamide was the effective substitution in terms of AChE inhibitory potency.

New Acetamide-Sulfonamide-Containing Scaffolds: Antiurease Activity Screening, Structure-Activity Relationship, Kinetics Mechanism, Molecular Docking, and MD Simulation Studies.
The development of novel scaffolds that can increase the effectiveness, safety, and convenience of medication therapy using drug conjugates is a promising strategy. As a result, drug conjugates are an active area of research and development in medicinal chemistry. This research demonstrates acetamide-sulfonamide scaffold preparation after conjugation of ibuprofen and flurbiprofen with sulfa drugs, and these scaffolds were then screened for urease inhibition. The newly designed conjugates were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques such as IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and elemental analysis. Ibuprofen conjugated with sulfathiazole, flurbiprofen conjugated with sulfadiazine, and sulfamethoxazole were found to be potent and demonstrated a competitive mode of urease inhibition, with IC50 (µM) values of 9.95 ± 0.14, 16.74 ± 0.23, and 13.39 ± 0.11, respectively, and urease inhibition of 90.6, 84.1, and 86.1% respectively. Ibuprofen conjugated with sulfanilamide, sulfamerazine, and sulfacetamide, whereas flurbiprofen conjugated with sulfamerazine, and sulfacetamide exhibited a mixed mode of urease inhibition. Moreover, through molecular docking experiments, the urease receptor-binding mechanisms of competitive inhibitors were anticipated, and stability analysis through MD simulations showed that these compounds made stable complexes with the respective targets and that no conformational changes occurred during the simulation. The findings demonstrate that conjugates of approved therapeutic molecules may result in the development of novel classes of pharmacological agents for the treatment of various pathological conditions involving the urease enzyme.

Porous covalent organonitridic frameworks (PCONFs) were applied as a packing in a solid-phase extraction cartridge for rapid extraction of eight sulfonamide antibiotics from complex samples. The detection was performed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry under the multiple reaction monitoring mode. This enabled ultrasensitive, dependable and cost-effective simultaneous analysis of sulfacetamide, sulfadiazine, sulfathiazole, sulfapyridine, sulfamerazine, sulfamethazine, sulfamethoxazole and sulfisoxazole. Main parameters affecting the performance of the PCONF-packed cartridge were investigated. Under optimized conditions, this method has attractive features such as wide linear ranges (2.5-1000 ng·L), low limits of detection (0.14-2.0 ng·L), and good repeatability (intra-day assay: 2.1%-5.6%; inter-day assay: 2.3%-12.9%). It was successfully applied in the analysis of sulfonamide residues in water, milk and chicken meat samples. Graphical abstract The use of a porous covalent organonitridic framework (PCONFs) as solid-phase extraction (SPE) material is described here for the first time. An ultrasensitive, dependable and cost-effective method was developed for simultaneous analysis of eight sulfonamide residues in water, milk and chicken meat samples by coupling PCONF-based SPE with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Cu(II) is generally considered to be a poor activator for PMS decomposition, thus the potential impact of trace Cu(II) on PMS induced oxidation of typical pollutants is always overlooked. In this study, we reported that trace Cu(II) could significantly promote PMS induced degradation of four selected sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs), namely, sulfamehoxazole (SMX), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfamerazine (SMZ), and sulfamonomethoxine (SMM). Different from conventional PMS-induced oxidation process, high-valent Cu(III) was ascertained as the primary reactive intermediate for SAs degradation, which was confirmed by raman tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). High concentrations of Cu(II) or PMS were beneficial to degradation of the selected contaminants. In PMS/Cu(II) oxidation system, all the selected SAs could undergo several different degradation pathways including continuous oxidation of aniline group, hydroxylation and S-N bond cleavage. In particular, for six-membered SAs, such as SMZ and SMM, a SO extrusion pathway was also detected. The potential mechanism for Cu(III) formation was also proposed, which was believed to be highly related to the nature of the SAs. Hydroxylamine-SAs (N-OH-SAs), generated from direct PMS oxidation of SAs, was deduced as the "promoter" for the whole oxidation process. And the generation of Cu(III) was likely to proceed through the interaction between PMS and Cu(I), which possibly derived from the reduction of Cu(II) by N-OH-SAs. The results obtained in this study validated the contribution of Cu(III) to the elimination of pollutants and expanded our understanding of the oxidation process of PMS in the presence of trace amounts of Cu(II).

The analytical potential of X-ray small-angle scattering (SAXS) combined with simultaneous wide-angle diffraction (WAXS) has been explored on the example of three active pharmaceutical ingredients, (desvenlofaxine, simvastatin, and sulfamerazine, resp.) with the aim of identifying quantitative parameters obtained from SAXS that allow to describe the nano-structural characteristics of different amorphous forms and to monitor the processes of amorphisation and ageing. Cryo-milling, co-milling with polymer, melting and melt-quenching have been used for amorphisation of initially crystalline powders. In parallel to SAXS, the WAXS patterns have been obtained to fingerprint the crystalline state. The SAXS results demonstrate strong, systematic nanostructure variations in amorphous samples obtained by different milling conditions, or by melt-quenching. It has been found that the mean-square density fluctuation, directly obtained from the SAXS invariant, is a sensitive and robust parameter to characterize the degree of nano-heterogeneity, which is related to entropy and hence thermodynamic stability. The SAXS curves also allow estimates of amorphous domain sizes of different density. The propensity to recrystallize or to remain amorphous, respectively, upon ageing has been found to depend on the existence of domains in the starting amorphous materials.

As emerging pollutants, microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics (ATs) became a research hotspot in recent years. To evaluate the carrier effect of degradable and non-biodegradable MPs in the aquatic environment, the adsorption behaviors of polyamide (PA) and polylactic acid (PLA) towards two sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) were investigated. Both chemical and photo-aging were used to handle the virgin MPs. Compared with PA, PLA was aged more drastically, showing the obvious grooves, notches and folds. However, due to the higher temperature during chemical aging, the tiny KPLA (PLA aged by KSO) particles were agglomerated and the specific surface area was reduced to nearly 95 %. For PA, the oxidation of chemical aging was stronger than photo-aging. After aging, the hydrophilicity and polarity of MPs increased. In the adsorption experiments, the adsorption capacity of PA towards SAs was 1.7 times higher than that of PLA. Aging process enabled the adsorption capacity of PLA increased 1.22-3.18 times. Overall, the adsorption capacity of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by both MPs was superior to sulfamerazine (SMR). These results would help to understand the carrier effects and potential ecological risks of MPs towards co-existing contaminants.
