The chemical composition of hydroxyapatite was taken as an experimental variable in order to have a point of view on the parameters of the adsorption process and the mechanisms established between adsorbent-adsorbate. The adsorption kinetics are relatively fast, and the high amounts adsorbed at saturation are obtained for non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite, containing more HPO42- ions and having a high specific surface area. The good agreement of the experimental data with kinetic models confirms that the mechanism can be perfectly described by pseudo-second-order kinetics. Adsorption isotherm models show that Langmuir's model gives a better fit of experimental data compared to that of Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Kaganer-Radushkevich. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the interaction between the -COO- ions of methionine and the Ca2+ ions of hydroxyapatite. The thermodynamic parameters, the isoelectric point of methionine and the point of zero charge of hydroxyapatite with different Ca/P ratios show that the adsorption process is considered spontaneous, exothermic and often controlled by physisorption with interactions electrostatic.","PeriodicalId":10942,"journal":{"name":"Current Chemistry Letters","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84900273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 5e piperazine-based phthalimide derivative demonstrated promising antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the in vitro antibacterial studies. In comparison to streptomycin and bacitracin (10 µg/mL), the minimum inhibitory concentration of 5e against MRSA was discovered to be 45±0.15 micro g/ml.

The photoproduct was isolated by using column chromatography and the structure of the isolated photoproduct was established by different spectroscopic techniques. This study provides the probable mechanism of the photochemical transformation of metronidazole in presence of an electron donor and in presence of ZnO NPs. During the photochemical transformation the nitro group of metronidazole was reduced in the amine group by a series of electron transfer processes.
