In this study, the oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotube (O-MWCNTs) was obtained by a simple method, and investigated by various techniques (SEM, TEM, FT-IR, XPS and zeta potential) for the removal of pefloxacin and Cu(II). The mutual effects of their adsorption onto O-MWCNTs were comprehensively clarified with sole and binary systems with adsorption kinetics, sorption thermodynamic and sorption isotherm models. The results indicated that there are site enhancement and competition of pefloxacin and Cu(II) on O-MWCNTs. According to mechanism investigation on the adsorption of pefloxacin and Cu(II) by XPS analysis, pH impact study, electrostatic interaction and π-π interactions, the low concentration of Cu(II)/pefloxacin could act as a bridge between pefloxacin/Cu(II) and O-MWCNTs, which significantly enhances the adsorption of pefloxacin/Cu(II). This study provided effective method and valuable reference for the elimination of pefloxacin/Cu(II) from aquatic environments.

Twelve new heteroleptic nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of the type [M(L )(Pfx) ] (1-12), where L =2-benzylidenehydrazinecarbothioamide (L ), 2-benzylidene-N-methylhydrazinecarbothioamide (L ), 2-benzylidene-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (L ), 2-(4-methylbenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (L ), 2-(4-methylbenzylidene)-N-methylhydrazinecarbothioamide (L ) and 2-(4-methylbenzylidene)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (L ), Pfx=pefloxacin and M=Ni(II) or Cu(II) have been synthesised, and their structures were confirmed by different spectral techniques. The spectral data and density functional theory (DFT) calculations supported the bonding of pefloxacin drug molecule via one of the carboxylate oxygen atoms and the pyridone oxygen atom, and the thiosemicarbazone ligand via the imine nitrogen and the thione sulfur atoms with the metal(II) ion, forming distorted octahedral geometry. In vitro antiproliferative activity of the synthesized complexes was evaluated against three human breast cancer (T47D, estrogen negative (MDA-MB-231) and estrogen positive (MCF-7)) as well as non-tumorigenic human breast epithelial (MCF-10a) cell lines, which showed the higher activity for the copper(II) complexes.

Pefloxacin-based mixed ligand Cu(II) complexes with substituted isatin of type [Cu(Isatin)(Pefloxacin)Cl] were synthesized, and characterized by EPR, mass, FT-IR, electronic spectrometry, metal content, magnetic moment, and conductance measurement. The g factors g [Formula: see text] > g [Formula: see text] > 2.0023 observed in EPR suggest a square-pyramidal environment of ligands around the copper metal.

The copper(II) complexes of the type [Cu(SPF)(A(n))Cl]/[Cu(PFL)(A(n))Cl] (where SPF is sparfloxacin, PFL is pefloxacin and A(n) is 2,2'-dipyridylamine/pyridine-2-carboxalehyde/thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde) were synthesised and were found to have a pyramidal geometry with a square base. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) like activity of the complexes were measured using an NBT/NADH/PMS system, these were expressed in terms of the concentration of complex which termianates the formation of formazan by 50% (IC₅₀ value) and found to range from 0.781 to 1.
