Overview

Analysis reveals degradation of amoxicillin using H2O2/UV treatment impacts antimicrobial activity, highlighting safety concerns.

Key Points

  • Amoxicillin degradation removed 99.0% of the antibiotic within 25 minutes.
  • Toxicity assays indicated no harmful byproducts were generated during the treatment process.
  • Antimicrobial activity decreased significantly after 60 minutes, hinting at important changes in byproducts.
  • Monitoring utilized High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry to track AMX and its metabolites.
