Occurrence and Transformation of Pharmaceutical and Antibacterial Compounds in the EnvironmentVerma, Kusum Santosh 10 December 2010 (has links)
The presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment has become a matter of concern during the last decade. Increased production of PPCPs along with their increased use has led to release of these compounds in the environment via various routes. PPCPs includes large group of compounds including veterinary and human antibiotics, analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs, psychiatric drugs, β-blockers, X-ray contrasts, and steroid hormones, etc. Many of the compounds used in PPCPs have been shown to possess adverse effects to living organisms and act as endocrine disrupting agents (ECDs). This dissertation includes the investigation of the occurrence of antibiotic compounds added to personal care product and the transformation of hormones used in pharmaceuticals such as contraceptives. The results obtained in this study can provide information on the fate and transformation of the studied compounds once released in the environment. An analytical method employing sonication extraction and HPLC-ESI-MS detection was developed. The developed method was used to detect antibiotic compounds triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) in biosolids-applied soil and biosolids. Both TCS and TCC were detected at high concentrations in biosolids and at lower concentrations in biosolids-applied soil. TCS and TCC concentrations decreased in biosolids composts and in biosolids-applied soil collected at deeper depths. The developed method was able to provide efficient detection limits and reliable quantification of target compounds. A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized to achieve efficient clean-up of TCS and TCC from biosolids-applied soil and biosolids samples using 4,4’- DBP-4-vp-EGDMA. The motivation behind this project was to be able to eliminate the use of expensive instruments such as LC-MS and employ easily available instruments such as LC-UV. The synthesized MIP was able to achieve efficient clean-up and allowed quantification and identification of TCS and TCC in a complex matrix. Transformation of hormones such as 17β-estradiol, estriol, ethynlestradiol, estrone and testosterone was studied by employing Fe (III)-saturated montmorillonite catalysts. The use of Fe (III) – saturated montmorillonite as a catalyst proved be to very efficient in transformation of the studied hormones. Complete removal of hormones was observed in aqueous environment. LC-UV was used for detection and quantification of hormones.

Metodologia analítica para determinação de triclosan e clorofenois por cromatografia a líquido de alta eficiência (HPLC) e cromatografia por injeção seqüencial (SIC) com uso de coluna monolítica e empacotada / Methodologies for the determination of triclosan and chlorophenols by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and sequential injection chromatography (SIC) using packed and monolithic columnsGarcia, Ausberta Jesús Cabezas 06 December 2011 (has links)

In this case, the isomers 2,4,6-TCP and 2,3,4-TCP coeluted. Methyltriclosan, the less polar of these compounds, can be separated from TCS with subsequent elution steps. The methods were applied to study the adsorption of triclosan and its metabolites 2-CP, 2,4-DCP, 2,4,6-TCP and methyltriclosan on homoionic montmorillonite (K+) as well as in hexadecyltrimethylammonium salt (HDTMA) modified montmorillonite, noticing a stronger adsorption of triclosan and methyltriclosan compared with 2-CP, 2,4-DCP and 2,4,6-TCP. Incorporation of HDTMA in the clay mineral caused significant increase in adsorption capacity of these metabolites. This capacity was determined by fitting the experimental data to the linearized Langmuir equation. The adsorption order was 2,4,6-TCP > 2,4-DCP > 2-CP.

THE DEGRADATION OF RESIDENT BIOSOLIDS CONTAMINANTS WITHIN AERBOIC MICROCOSMSKyle N Mclaughlin (7043081) 15 August 2019 (has links)
<div>Biosolids-based fertilizers are sold to the public to provide beneficial nutrients and organic matter for plant production. They are commonly applied to community gardens, municipal lands, reclamation projects, and golf courses. These fertilizers, however, may also contain a variety of trace organic contaminants, which can be persistent in the environment. Our work sought to quantify the persistence of biosolids contaminants in community garden soils. The commercial biosolids-based fertilizer, OCEANGRO®, was amended to two community garden soils to determine the first-order half-lives of four model contaminants: carbamazepine, miconazole, triclocarban, and triclosan. The criteria for their selection included biosolids occurrence, ecotoxicity, antimicrobial function, and knowledge gaps. Aerobic biosolids-amended soil microcosms were incubated at 22 ± 1 °C and approximately 80% field capacity. Sacrificial sampling occurred seven times over 180 days through multi-step solvent extractions. Detection and quantification were done on a high-performance liquid chromatograph tandem triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer. Results indicated that biosolids contaminants persist in soils with some having modeled half-lives in the hundreds of days. Additional analyses of solvent-spiked contaminant degradation and porewater desorption were performed to provide greater insight into possible limitations on resident biosolids contaminant degradation and to form a better comparative basis to previous literature. Solvent-spiked contaminants degraded more quickly than those resident within biosolids, which indicate that data using the former may underestimate persistence in real-world environments. The porewater analysis allowed for the desorption coefficient to be calculated for all four model resident contaminants. Disparities in the trends of these desorption coefficients and solvent-spiked degradation rates showed that desorption from the biosolids matrix may have been a limiting factor to resident degradation for only some of our four model contaminants. Nonetheless, the demonstrated persistence of these contaminants necessitates long-term thinking in relation to biosolids application. More work is needed on the potential hazards associated with biosolids use in public lands regarding ecotoxicity and antimicrobial resistance.</div>

An investigation of the phototoxicity of decabromodiphenyl ether and triclosanSuh, Yang-Won 01 December 2010 (has links)
Decabromodiphenylether (deca-BDE) and triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenylether) are used in consumer products as flame retardant and bactericide, respectively. Dermal contact is a major human exposure pathway. Deca-BDE and triclosan are known to be photolytically degraded to compounds like lower-BDEs and dioxins. My hypothesis is that photolysis of deca-BDE and triclosan generates free radicals and degradation products which cause toxic effects including cytotoxicity, growth inhibition, oxidative stress and genotoxicity in skin. To test this hypothesis radical formation and photolytic products of deca-BDE and toxic effects of deca-BDE and triclosan alone/with UV-exposure were determined using immortal human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and primary human skin fibroblasts (HSF).
My electron paramagnetic resonance and GC-MS studies indicate that deca-BDE is photoreactive and UV irradiation of deca-BDE in organic solvents generates free radicals and lower-BDEs. The free radical formation is wavelength-dependent and positively related to the irradiation time and deca-BDE concentration.
In structure-activity relationship studies with deca-BDE, octa-BDE, PBB 209, PCB 209 and diphenyl ether, the presence of halogen atoms (Br > Cl), and/or an ether bond enhance free radical formation. Debromination and hydrogen abstraction from the solvents are the mechanism of radical formation with deca-BDE, which raises concerns about possible toxic effects in UV-exposed skin.
In cell culture experiments high levels of triclosan plus UV irradiation and repetitive deca-BDE and UV exposures caused synergistic cytotoxicity in HaCaT. However, neither triclosan nor deca-BDE can be regarded as a phototoxicant following the OECD test and evaluation guidelines. In HSF, no synergistic cytotoxicity was observed, although HSF were more sensitive to deca-BDE and triclosan alone than HaCaT. Contrary to expectations, the photodegradation products of triclosan were less toxic than triclosan itself to HaCaT. However, UV irradiation of triclosan-exposed cells produced a dose dependent increase in intracellular oxidative stress (dichlorofluorescein formation). Comet experiments did not show consistent results of genotoxicity in HaCaT. Overall, deca-BDE and triclosan had no or weak phototoxic potential in cells with the experimental conditions employed.
To my knowledge, my research is the first prove of free radical formation during UV irradiation of deca-BDE and the first investigation of phototoxicity of deca-BDE and triclosan in human skin cells.

Effects of Triclosan, Triclocarban, and Caffeine Exposure on the Development of Amphibian Larvae.Palenske, Nicole Marie 08 1900 (has links)
Triclosan and triclocarban are antimicrobials found in numerous consumer products, while caffeine is the most commonly consumed stimulant by humans. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of triclosan, triclocarban, and caffeine on the development and physiology of amphibian larvae. LC50 values of triclosan and triclocarban were determined after 96 hours for three North American larval species: Acris crepitans blanchardii, Bufo woodhousii woodhousii, Rana sphenocephala, and for a common amphibian developmental model: Xenopus laevis. Amphibian larvae were most sensitive to triclosan and triclocarban exposure during early development based upon 96-hour LC50 values. Heart rates for X. laevis and North American larvae exposed to triclosan were variable throughout development. However, significantly lower heart rates were observed in all larvae exposed to triclocarban. Metabolic rates of X. laevis and R. sphenocephala larvae exposed to triclosan were significantly affected in larvae exposed to ½ LC50 and the LC50 concentration. Metabolic rates of X. laevis larvae exposed to triclocarban were significantly affected by exposure to ½ LC50 concentrations in three of four stages investigated. No significant differences were observed in North American larvae exposed to triclocarban. Tissue uptake, lipid uptake, tissue bioconcentration factor (BCF) and lipid BCF of triclosan and triclocarban were investigated in three developmental stages of X. laevis, and in one developmental stage of B. woodhousii woodhousii, and R. sphenocephala. For most tissue and lipid uptake values, a significant increase was observed as exposure concentration increased. Tissue and lipid BCF values were dependent upon both stage and species. Chronic and acute effects of caffeine were determined in X. laevis larvae. Acute 96-hour LC50 values in four developmental stages were > 75,000 ug L-1 caffeine and heart rates were significantly different at the two earliest developmental stages. Larvae chronically exposed to caffeine reached metamorphosis at the same time as controls. Changes in chronic heart rate were dependent upon stage of development and exposure concentration. This research indicates that the toxicity of amphibian larvae exposed to triclosan, triclocarban, and caffeine appears to be dependent upon species and developmental stage, with early developmental stages being most sensitive to contaminant exposure.

Metal oxide-facilitated oxidation of antibacterial agentsZhang, Huichun 08 July 2004 (has links)
Metal oxide-facilitated transformation is likely an important degradation pathway of antibacterial agents at soil-water interfaces. Phenolic disinfectants (triclosan and chlorophene), fluoroquinolones (FQs), and aromatic N-oxides are of particular concern due to their widespread usage, potential toxicity and frequent detection in the environment. Results of the present study show that the above antibacterial agents are highly susceptible to metal oxide-facilitated oxidation.
The interfacial reactions exhibit complex reaction kinetics, which are affected by solution pH, the presence of co-solutes, surface properties of metal oxides, and structural characteristics of antibacterial agents. Adsorption of the antibacterial agents to Mn and Fe oxide surfaces generally proceeds faster than oxidation reactions of these compounds by Mn and Fe oxides, especially in the case of Fe oxides.
Reaction intermediates and end products are identified by GC/MS, LC/MS and/or FTIR. Structurally-related model compounds are examined to facilitate reaction site and mechanism elucidation. On the basis of experimental results and literature, reaction schemes are proposed. In general, the antibacterial agent is adsorbed to the oxide surface, forming a precursor complex. Electrons are transferred within the precursor complex from the antibacterial agent to the oxide, followed by releasing of the radical intermediates which undergo further reactions to generate oxidation products. The precursor complex formation and electron transfer are likely rate-limiting.
For triclosan, phenoxy radicals are critical intermediates to form oxidation products through three pathways (i.e., radical coupling, further oxidation of the radical, and breakdown of an ether bond within the radical). The first two pathways are also operative in the oxidation of chlorophene. For FQs, oxidation generates radical intermediates that are most likely centered on the inner N in the piperazine ring. The radical intermediates then undergo three major pathways (i.e., radical coupling, N-dealkylation, and hydroxylation) to yield a variety of products. For aromatic N-oxides, a N-oxide radical intermediate is generated upon oxidation by MnO2, followed by the loss of oxygen from the N-oxide moiety and the formation of a hydroxyl group at the C-atom adjacent to the N-oxide moiety.
Overall, a fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanisms between three classes of antibacterial agents and metal oxides has been obtained.

Previous issue date: 2016-02-05 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / In this work, cytochrome P450-inspired biomimetic oxidation systems were
developed for aliphatic C–H bond activation and triclosan oxidation. Heterogenization of
Mn(III) N-pyridylporphyrin derivatives onto silica gel resulted in three groups of catalysts.
Immobilization of Mn(III) N-pyridylporphyrins (MnT-X-PyPCl, X = 2, 3, 4) on chloropropylfunctionalized
silica gel (Sil-Cl) yielded the first group of catalysts, Sil-Cl/MnT-X-PyPCl.
The second group was prepared by in situ methylation of Sil-Cl/MnT-X-PyPCl materials
resulting in the Sil-Cl/MnT-X-PyPCl/MeOTs materials. Finally the third group of catalysts
were prepared via electrostatic immobilization of Mn(III) N-methylpyridiniumporphyrins
(MnTM-X-PyPCl5, X = 2, 3, 4) onto unfunctionalized silica gel to yield SiO2/MnTM-XPyPCl5
(X = 2, 3, 4). These materials were studied as catalysts for iodosylbenzene-based
hydroxylation reactions of the model substrate cyclohexane. The heterogenized catalysts
proved to be more efficient, selective and oxidatively stable than the corresponding
homogeneous systems for cyclohexane oxidation. No significant loss in catalytic efficiency
was observed upon recycling of these materials. The increase in Mn(III)/Mn(II) reduction
potentials associated with the alkylation of the pyridyl moieties of Sil-Cl/MnT-XPyPCl/MeOTs
(X = 2, 3, 4) materials did not result in significant changes in catalytic
efficiency as compared with the non-methylated starting materials Sil-Cl/MnT-X-PyPCl (X =
2, 3, 4). The PhIO-oxidation of the emerging contaminant triclosan under homogenous
conditions was carried out using Mn porphyrins as biomimetic catalysts for P450-based
xenobiotic degradation. The second generation catalyst Mn(III) meso-tetrakis(2,6-
dichlorophenyl)porphyrin chloride, MnTDCPPCl, was more efficient and oxidatively stable
than its first generation analogue Mn(III) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin chloride, which was
considerably destroyed during the reactions. GC-FID, HPLC-DAD and LC-MS/MS analyses
were used to confirm the formation of two products already identified as in vivo metabolites
of triclosan: 4-chlorocatechol and 2,4-dichlorophenol. LC-MS/MS spectra of reation mixture
indicated the formation of four additional triclosan degradation products (m/z 270, 323, 448,
and 483), whose structural identity and biological relevance have yet to be confirmed. / Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidos modelos biomiméticos dos citocromos P450
pela heterogeneização das N-piridilporfirinas de Mn(III) em sílica-gel, resultando em três
classes de catalisadores. A primeira classe descreve a imobilização das N-piridilporfirinas de
Mn(III) (MnT-X-PyPCl, X = 2, 3, 4) em sílica-gel funcionalizada com o grupo cloropropila
(Sil-Cl), a segunda classe envolve a metilação in situ dos materiais obtidos anteriormente e a
terceira classe corresponde ao ancoramento eletrostático das N-metilpiridinioporfirinas de
Mn(III) (MnTM-X-PyPCl5, X = 2, 3, 4) em sílica-gel in natura, sendo denominados como
Sil-Cl/MnT-X-PyPCl, Sil-Cl/MnT-X-PyPCl/MeOTs e SiO2/MnTM-X-PyPCl5 (X = 2, 3, 4),
respectivamente. Estes materiais foram empregados em reações de hidroxilação do substrato
modelo cicloexano por iodosilbenzeno (PhIO). Os catalisadores heterogeneizados mostram-se
mais eficientes, seletivos e resistentes à destruição catalítica do que os sistemas em fase
homogênea, além de não serem observadas perdas significativas na eficiência catalítica após
reúsos desses materiais. O aumento do potencial de redução Mn(III)/Mn(II) associado ao
aumento do grau de alquilação nos catalisadores Sil-Cl/MnT-X-PyPCl/MeOTs (X = 2, 3, 4)
não levaram a alterações significativas na eficiência catalítica desses materiais em
comparação aos materiais de partida Sil-Cl/MnT-X-PyPCl (X = 2, 3, 4). A investigação da
atividade catalítica das Mn-porfirinas de primeira e segunda geração, cloreto de mesotetrafenilporfirinatomanganês
(III) (MnTPPCl) e cloreto de meso-tetraquis(2,6-
diclorofenil)porfirinatomanganês (III) (MnTDCPPCl), na oxidação do contaminante
emergente triclosan revelou que estes modelos biomiméticos podem efetuar a degradação
deste xenobiótico. A MnTDCPPCl mostrou-se mais eficiente do que seu análogo de primeira
geração MnTPPCl, que foi mais degradado durante as reações. Pelas técnicas de GC-FID,
HPLC-DAD e LC-MS/MS foi possível confirmar a formação de dois produtos já
identificados na literatura como metabólitos in vivo: 4-clorocatecol e 2,4-diclorofenol. Ainda
por LC/MS-MS pode-se identificar a formação de mais quatro produtos de degradação do
triclosan ainda não definidos (m/z 270, 323, 448 e 483)

Evaluation of the Developmental Effects and Bioaccumulation Potential of Triclosan and Triclocarban Using the South African Clawed Frog, Xenopus LaevisKing, Marie Kumsher 12 1900 (has links)
Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are antimicrobials found in U.S. surface waters. This dissertation assessed the effects of TCS and TCC on early development and investigated their potential to bioaccumulate using Xenopus laevis as a model. The effects of TCS on metamorphosis were also investigated. For 0-week tadpoles, LC50 values for TCS and TCC were 0.87 mg/L and 4.22 mg/L, respectively, and both compounds caused a significant stunting of growth. For 4-week tadpoles, the LC50 values for TCS and TCC were 0.22 mg/L and 0.066 mg/L; and for 8-week tadpoles, the LC50 values were 0.46 mg/L and 0.13 mg/L. Both compounds accumulated in Xenopus. For TCS, wet weight bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for 0-, 4- and 8-week old tadpoles were 23.6x, 1350x and 143x, respectively. Lipid weight BAFs were 83.5x, 19792x and 8548x. For TCC, wet weight BAFs for 0-, 4- and 8-week old tadpoles were 23.4x, 1156x and 1310x. Lipid weight BAFs were 101x, 8639x and 20942x. For the time-to-metamorphosis study, TCS showed an increase in weight and snout-vent length in all treatments. Exposed tadpoles metamorphosed approximately 10 days sooner than control tadpoles. For the hind limb study, although there was no difference in weight, snout-vent length, or hind limb length, the highest treatment was more developed compared to the control. There were no differences in tail resorption rates between the treatments and controls. At relevant concentrations, neither TCS nor TCC were lethal to Xenopus prior to metamorphosis. Exposure to relatively high doses of both compounds resulted in stunted growth, which would most likely not be evident at lower concentrations. TCS and TCC accumulated in Xenopus, indicating that the compound has the potential to bioaccumulate through trophic levels. Although TCS may increase the rate of metamorphosis in terms of developmental stage, it did not disrupt thyroid function and metamorphosis in regards to limb development and tail resorption.
