Abstract
Significant research efforts have been devoted to unraveling the mystery of P-glycoprotein(P-gp) in drug delivery applications. The efflux membrane transporter P-gp is widely distributed in the body and accountable for restricting drug absorption and bioavailability. For these reasons, it is the primary cause of developing multidrug resistance (MDR) in most drug delivery applications. Therefore, P-gp inhibitors must be explored to address MDR and the low bioavailability of therapeutic substrates. Several experimental models in kinetics and dynamic studies identified the sensitivity of drug molecules and excipients as a P-gp inhibitor. In this review, we aimed to emphasize nonionic surface-active agents for effective reversal of P-gp inhibition. As it is inert, non-toxic, noncharged, and quickly reaching the cytosolic lipid membrane (the point of contact with P-gp efflux protein) enables it to be more efficient as P-gp inhibitors. Moreover, nonionic surfactant improves drug absorption and bioavailability through the various mechanism, involving (i) association of drug with surfactant improves solubilization, facilitating its cell penetration and absorption; (ii) weakening the lateral membrane packing density, facilitating the passive drug influx; and (iii) inhibition of the ATP binding cassette of transporter P-glycoprotein. The application of nonionic surfactant as P-gp inhibitors is well established and supported by various experiments. Altogether, herein, we have primarily focused on various nonionic surfactants and their development strategies to conquer the MDR-causing effects of P-gp efflux protein in drug delivery.

Abstract
UV/persulfate (UV/PS) technologies have gained increased attention as efficient alternatives for removing pollutants from different classes, although processes based on the UVA-driven S2O82- (PS) activation have not yet been discussed in the literature for the removal of the nonionic surfactant nonylphenol polyethoxylate (NPEO). The present study investigated the simultaneous effect of the initial persulfate concentration ([PS]0) and specific photon emission rate (EP,0) on NPEO degradation by UVA/PS following a Doehlert experimental design. The results for [NPEO]0 = (4.65 ± 0.15) mg L-1 indicated more than 97.8% NPEO removal after 2 h, with pseudo first-order specific degradation rate (kobs) of 0.0320 min-1, for [PS]0 = 7.75 mmol L-1 and EP,0 = 0.437 μmol photons L-1 s-1. Under these conditions, NPEO half-life time was about 22 min, and the EC50-48 h (% v/v) values for Daphnia similis before and after treatment did not differ significantly. Higher values of EP,0 would influence NPEO removal for [PS]0 not higher than 8-10 mmol L-1, although lower degradation efficiencies were obtained with higher [NPEO]0 or real wastewater, except for longer reaction times. Additionally, UVA/PS showed to be efficient for tensoactivity removal, despite the negligible total organic carbon (TOC) removal achieved. Finally, UVC and UVA resulted in NPEO degradation higher than 96% and similar tensoactivity removals when UVA/PS was conducted under optimal conditions ([PS]0 = 10 mmol L-1; EP,0 = 0.324 μmol photons L-1 s-1), suggesting that UVA radiation available in solar light could be advantageously employed for NPEO removal at concentrations usually found in wastewater.

Application of UV-activated persulfate and peroxymonosulfate processes for the degradation of 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene in different water matrices.

Abstract
The presence of a large number of micropollutants in the environment, including priority and emerging substances, poses a significant risk to surface and groundwater quality. Among them, trichlorobenzenes are widely used in the syntheses of dyes, pesticides, solvents, and other chemicals and have been identified as priority pollutants by the European Water Framework Directive. The main goal of this study was to investigate the behavior of 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene (TCB) during the sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) involving UV activation of persulfate or peroxymonosulfate (UV/S2O82- and UV/HSO5- processes). For this purpose, TCB was subjected to SR-AOPs in synthetic water matrices containing humic acids or hydrogencarbonate and natural water samples and a comparative evaluation of the degradation process was made. The toxicity of the oxidation by-products was also assessed. The evaluation of TCB degradation kinetics results using principal component analysis indicates that the efficacy of the SR-AOPs was highly dependent on the pH, initial oxidant concentration, UV fluence, and matrix characteristics. In natural waters, TCB degradation by the UV/S2O82- process proved to be most effective in acidic conditions (pH 5), while the UV/HSO5- process showed the highest efficacy in basic conditions (pH 9.5), achieving a maximum TCB degradations of 97-99%. The obtained results indicate that UV/S2O82- and UV/HSO5- as new generation oxidation processes have significant potential for TCB removal from water and result in only minor toxicity after treatment (14-23% of Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition).

Jho EH, Yun SH, Thapa P, Nam JW. Changes in the aquatic ecotoxicological effects of Triton X-100 after UV photodegradation. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:11224-11232.

Abstract
Various spray adjuvants including surfactants are widely used in agricultural pesticide formulations, and some of them may remain in soils and waters and impose more adverse effects than active pesticide ingredients on organisms. However, previous studies are more focused on the active pesticide ingredients than the adjuvants. Thus, this study investigates the changes in toxic effects of surfactants during photodegradation, which is one way of naturally degrading contaminants in natural waters. Triton X-100, a water-soluble non-ionic surfactant, was degraded using different types of UV radiation (UVA, UVB, and UVC), and the changes in the toxic effects were determined using bioluminescent bacteria and water flea. The Triton X-100 removals were negligible with UVA within 24 h, while its removal was 81% with UVB and almost complete with UVC. The NMR spectra indicated possible molecule rearrangement after photolysis. On the other hand, the toxic effects based on the mortality of Daphnia magna and the bioluminescence of Aliivibrio fischeri increased (i.e., lower EC50 values) after photodegradation, suggesting the generation of photoproducts that are likely to have higher toxic effects or higher bioavailability. Furthermore, the sensitivities of D. magna and A. fischeri for Triton X-100 and the photodegraded Triton X-100 were different. This study suggests that the changes in the chemical composition of the Triton X-100 containing water with photodegradation can lead to changes in the relative toxic effects on different aquatic organisms. Therefore, not only the management of parent compound (i.e., Triton X-100) but also the photoproducts generated from the parent compound need to be considered when managing water environment subject to photodegradation.

Abstract
Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition bioassay (VFBIA) has been widely applied for the monitoring of toxicity on account of multiple advantages encompassing shorter test duration, sensitive, cost-effective and ease of operation. Moreover, this bioassay found to be equally applicable to all types of matrices (organic & inorganic compounds, metals, wastewater, river water, sewage sludge, landfill leachate, herbicides, treated wastewater etc.) for toxicity monitoring. This review highlights the apparent significance of Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition assay for ecotoxicological screening and evaluation of diverse chemical substances toxicity profile. The biochemical and genetic basis of the bioluminescence assay and its regulatory mechanism have been concisely discussed. The basic test protocol with ongoing improvements, widespread applications, typical advantages and probable limitations of the assay have been overviewed. The sensitivity of VFBIA and toxicity bioassays has also been compared.
