Article Abstract
Rationale: Lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops are highly unstable to light and prone to produce photodegradation impurities. These impurities might be related to the phototoxicity of lomefloxacin, which could seriously threaten the health of patients. In this article, the photodegradation impurity profile in lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops was studied for further improvement of quality control of the drug.
Methods: By studying the chromatographic behavior of photodegradation impurities, the photodegradation impurities in lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops were separated and detected effectively. Liquid chromatography combined with ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometry was applied to characterize the structures of the photodegradation impurities in lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops.
Results: The structures of 17 impurities in lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops were elucidated based on high-resolution MS data in positive ion mode, 12 of them being unknown impurities.
Conclusions: The structural characteristics and fragmentation patterns of the photodegradation impurities were also studied. The study of the photodegradation impurity profile in lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops provides a scientific basis for quality control of these ear drops and ensures the safety of drug use by the public.

Photocatalysis based on porous and stable sp carbon-linked COF materials is a promising technology to deal with energy shortage and environmental pollution. In this work, C/COF composite was prepared and applied to the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants by coupling with persulfate. The degradation efficiencies of lomefloxacin (LOMH) and trichloromethane (TCM) achieved 80.

Background: Infectious keratitis, commonly known as corneal infection, is a major cause of blindness, affecting approximately six million people globally and resulting in around two million cases of monocular blindness annually. The incidence varies widely worldwide, with higher rates in low- and middle-income countries due to various risk factors, including agricultural injuries and other accidental trauma, limited access to health care, and low levels of health literacy. Bacterial keratitis (BK) is the most prevalent form in higher-income regions, contributing to significant morbidity and healthcare burden.

In this work, the silica gel bonded amylose[(S)-α-methylbenzyl carbamate] (CHIRALPAK IH) was chosen as the chiral stationary phase (CSP) for the separation of five quinolone enantiomers by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), namely, ofloxacin, flumequine, nadifloxacin, lomefloxacin, and clinafloxacin. The mobile phase composition, organic modifier, and acid-base additive were systematically investigated for the baseline separation of these five interested quinolones. The optimized mobile phases were n-hexane-ethanol-acetic acid-diethylamine (60:40:0.

The overuse and continuous input of antibiotics lead to their significant accumulation in aquatic environments， which poses a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. The spatial and temporal distribution of 38 antibiotics in the waters and sediments of Yongjiang River Basin （YRB） as well as the corresponding ecological risks were analyzed. The results showed that there were significant differences in the species and concentrations of antibiotics in surface water and sediments during different hydrological periods.
