Context: Lenalidomide (LEN) is used for the treatment of myeloma blood cancer disease. It has become one of the most efficient drugs to halt this disease. LEN is a low-soluble drug in aqueous media.
The use of antibiotics in agriculture has significantly increased, leading to rising levels of these substances in soil, particularly from intensive farming and human consumption.
This study examines how ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic, interacts with clay minerals in soils from Santa Rosa, Argentina, using both experimental methods and atomistic modeling.
Findings reveal two types of ciprofloxacin adsorption on clay minerals: a weakly bound form that gets released during desorption and a strongly bound form that persists in the soil.
