Tetracycline (TC), a commonly used antibiotic for studying bacterial illnesses in living organisms, poses a significant risk to the aquatic environment. Despite various conventional methods having been attempted to remove TC antibiotics from water solutions, they have not proven effective. Consequently, the focus of the research is on the photocatalytic degradation of TC.

Article Synopsis
- This investigation focused on synthesizing and examining ferric and nickel co-doped tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO), exploring their structural, optical, morphological, and antibacterial characteristics.
- The synthesis was done using SnCl·2HO and metal precursors, followed by high-temperature annealing, with characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy employed to analyze the nanoparticles.
- The study found that co-doping affected the particle size, morphology, and antibacterial properties, showing potential effectiveness against certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
2,4-Dinitrophynylhydrazine and two thiocyanate ions in a (M:L1:L2) 1:2:2 molar ratio was synthesized in the complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II). The prepared compounds were identified through a C.H.

Background: Online pharmacies have grown significantly in recent years, from US $29.35 billion in 2014 to an expected US $128 billion in 2023 worldwide. Although legitimate online pharmacies (LOPs) provide a channel of convenience and potentially lower costs for patients, illicit online pharmacies (IOPs) open the doors to unfettered access to prescription drugs, controlled substances (eg, opioids), and potentially counterfeits, posing a dramatic risk to the drug supply chain and the health of the patient.
