Biomimetic catalytic degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics by water-soluble metalloporphyrins
摘要
Water soluble metal-tetrakis (p-sulfonatephenyl) porphyrin were studied for catalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin using H2O2, K2S2O8, and KHSO5 as oxidant in aqueous medium. Cobalt (III)-tetrakis (p-sulfonatephenyl) porphyrin (CoTPPS), manganese (III) –tetrakis (p-sulfonatephenyl)porphyrin (MnTPPS), and iron(III)-tetrakis (p-sulfonatephenyl)porphyrin were evaluated (FeTPPS). CoTPPS showed the highest catalytic activity for catalytic degradation of fluoroquinolones and sulfamethoxazole. The degradation efficiency of ciprofloxacin reached 95% within 20 min at room temperature. The obtained products were characterized using mass spectrometry, leading to the proposal of a catalytic degradation pathway for ciprofloxacin mediated by CoTPPS. Additionally, a reaction mechanism for the system was postulated and subsequently corroborated through density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The higher stability and the formation of [(Porp) CoⅣ = O]+• played the key roles for the higher catalytic activity of CoTPPS. Co porphyrin-catalyzed ciprofloxacin degradation is a promising strategy to degrade fluoroquinolones.
