State of the Art on Developments of (Bio)Sensors and Analytical Methods for Rifamycin Antibiotics Determination

Covalent organic frameworks-based materials for antibiotics fluorescence detection

Antibiotics play a vital role in safeguarding people's health since most bacterial infection can be efficiently controlled and cured by treating with suitable antibiotics. However, excessive use of antibiotics in husbandry and aquaculture leaded to the pollution of eco-environment. Thus, it is important to develop simple facile methods and effective functional materials for quick on-site analysis of antibiotics. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a kind of porous crystalline covalent bond linked polymers, have demonstrated its power in multiple fields. Herein, we will discuss COFs-based materials utilized as antibiotics sensors with fluorescence method. For each sensor, we will mainly discuss the mechanism for antibiotics recognition, the preparation, characterization and fluorescence sensing performance of specific antibiotics. The mechanism to illustrate the interaction between sensors and antibiotics analytes would also be stressed.

Synthesis rifaximin with copper (Rif-Cu) and copper oxide (Rif-CuO) nanoparticles Considerable dye decolorization: An application of aerobic oxidation of eco-friendly sustainable approach

In this study, rifaximin with copper (Cu) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesised. The resultant CuO nanoparticles were used to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (G250). Rifaximin copper and copper oxide nanoparticles were characterised using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and gas chromatography-electrochemical mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS). An FT-IR study confirmed the formation of Cu in the 562 cm-1 peak range. Rifaximin Cu and CuO Nanoparticles displayed UV absorption peaks at 253 nm and 230 nm, respectively. Coomassie Brilliant Blue G250 was completely decolourised in Cu nanoparticles at 100 %, and Rhodamine B was also decolourised in Rifaximin CuO nanoparticles at 73 %, although Coomassie Brilliant Blue G250 Rifaximin Cu nanoparticles absorbed a high percentage of dye decolorization. The aerobic oxidation of isopropanol conversion was confirmed by GC-MS analysis. Retention time of 27.35 and 30.32 was confirmed using Cu and CuO nanoparticles as the final products of 2-propanone. It is used in the textile and pharmaceutical industries for aerobic alcohol oxidation. Rifaximin CuO nanoparticles highly active in aerobic oxidation. The novelty of this study is that, for the first time, rifaximin was used for the synthesis of copper and copper oxide nanoparticles, and it successfully achieved decolorization and aerobic oxidation.
