The formation of an inclusion complex of amoxicillin (AMX) with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) in aqueous solution was confirmed by a solubility method and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. The apparent stability constant for the inclusion complex was 10.72 M(-1) in water at 25 degrees C. The effect of alpha-CD, beta-CD, and gamma-CD on the degradation of AMX in a pH 1.2 solution at 37 degrees C was investigated. beta-CD and gamma-CD reduced the rate of degradation. alpha-CD had no effect. These results were consistent with those of 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The effect of beta-CD on the degradation rate was studied in more detail. The apparent first order rate constant for the degradation of AMX in the pH 1.2 solution at 37 degrees C was 0.1121 h(-1) (t(1/2)=6.18 h), which decreased with the addition of beta-CD. The rate constants and t(1/2) values for the concentrations of beta-CD added, corresponding to molar ratios of AMX to beta-CD of 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10, were 0.1051 h(-1) and 6.59 h, 0.0992 h(-1) and 6.98 h, 0.0893 h(-1) and 7.76 h, 0.0697 h(-1) and 9.95 h, and 0.0509 h(-1) and 13.61 h, respectively. The activation energy for the degradation of AMX in the pH 1.2 solution was increased from 6.9 x 10(4) J/mol (AMX alone) to 8.0 x 10(4) J/mol (AMX:beta-CD=1:10).

Anion Exchange Membranes (AEMs) are promising materials for electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells and electrolyzers. However, the main drawback of AEMs is their low durability in alkaline operating conditions. A possible solution is the use of composite ionomers containing inorganic fillers stable in a basic environment.

Amoxicillin (AMX) is a common antibiotic used in both human and veterinary medicine in order to both cure and avoid bacterial infections. Traces of AMX have been found in ground and surface water, urban effluents, water, and wastewater treatment facilities due to its widespread use. The level of hazard and disposal of this class of micropollutants is the reason for concern.

The ternary combination like omeprazole (OMP), amoxicillin (AMX), and rifabutin (RFB) was approved by the FDA in November 2019 for combating Helicobacter pylori infections and ulcers caused by this infection. This study aims to develop and authenticate a robust and eco-friendly RP-UPLC technique aimed at the concurrent analysis of OMP, AMX, and RFB, following ICH guidelines, Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD), and green analytical chemistry (GAC) principles. The analysis used the Thermo C18 column (100 mm × 2.

Novel photocatalysts were synthesized through the association of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with commercial (P25) titanium dioxide (TiO) by sonication. The resulting TiO/CQDs composite was then incorporated into the polyamide 66 (PA66) biopolymer nanofibers using the electrospinning technique, considering a composite nanoparticles-to-polymer ratio of 1:2 in the electrospinning precursor solution. The produced nanofibers presented suitable morphology and were tested for the photocatalytic degradation under simulated solar radiation of 10 mg L of amoxicillin (AMX) and sulfadiazine (SDZ), in phosphate buffer solution (pH 8.
