Dimetridazole is considered as an emerging pollutant in waterbodies, which can potentially impact ecosystem and human health. Heterogeneous photocatalytic decomposition of dimetridazole by TiO2 was investigated under 365 nm UV light and effects of initial pH, TiO2 content and dimetridazole concentration on photocatalytic process were discussed. The results indicated that the optimized experiment condition is that the TiO2 content of 1 g x L(-1), dimetridazole concentration of 40 mg x L (-1), pH of 11, dimetridazole can be removed 90%. The photocatalytic degradation kinetics of dimetridazole could be fitted to the quasi-first-order equation. Photocatalytic degradation of dimetridazole can take place via two pathways: oxidation by *OH and reduction by e -.

The rising prevalence and rapid spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria have resulted in ineffective treatments, impacting millions of lives globally. In response to these challenges, drug repurposing has garnered attention as a viable alternative to traditional drug discovery and development processes. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of dimetridazole and cefotaxime by evaluating their efficacy against E.

Histomonosis is a protozoan disease that is caused by Histomonas meleagridis, which can lead to cecal inflammation and liver necrosis in poultry. Since the discontinuation of nitarsone in 2015, there is currently a lack of approved prophylactics for managing histomonosis. In search of potential alternatives, the present investigation evaluated the inhibitory effects of seven commercial plant extracts on the in vitro growth of H.

Antibiotics and salicylaldehydes are major organic pollutants in the environment, and their efficient selection and sensitive detection are of great significance but also challenging. A multifunctional terbium-organic framework (Tb-MOF) with multiple π-conjugated rings and basic sites decorated nanoporous channels was constructed with triphenylamine-based hexacarboxylate ligands. Structure analysis of Tb-MOF revealed that the six carboxyl groups on the skeleton of ligand exhibit considerable degree of distortion and can be regarded as three triangular nodes, which further combined the binuclear [Tb(COO)(HO)] nodes to form a new (3,3,3,6)-connected 3D net.

This study employed QuEChERS extraction method combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to analyse honey samples from Albania for nitroimidazole residues. This approach allowed for the detection of trace-level residues, achieving sensitivity in the parts per billion range. Out of the 45 honey samples analysed, 6 exceeded the European Union's safety limit of 1 µg/kg, with metronidazole (MNZ) and dimetridazole (DMZ) being the predominant contaminants.

Tinidazole (TNZ), a common nitroimidazole antibiotic, is pervasive in aquatic ecosystems, posing potential threats to marine organisms. The environmental fate of TNZ, particularly under solar irradiation, and the associated secondary risks are not well characterized. Herein, the photochemical reactivity of TNZ and four other typical nitroimidazoles (i.
