Vacuum-ultraviolet photolysis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ibuprofen, ketoprofen, diclofenac and naproxen are detected even in natural waters. Their degradation was achieved through the generation of reactive oxygen containing species (ROS, such as *OH, 1102* and •O2’) by using a xenon excimer lamp (Xmax. = 172...

Description
Summary:Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ibuprofen, ketoprofen, diclofenac and naproxen are detected even in natural waters. Their degradation was achieved through the generation of reactive oxygen containing species (ROS, such as *OH, 1102* and •O2’) by using a xenon excimer lamp (Xmax. = 172 ± 14 nm). The effect of the initial drug concentration, dissolved molecular oxygen, methanol as *OH scavenger and the effect of these pharmaceuticals on each other were investigated. According to the results, not only the reactions based on *OH, but the reactions with other ROS and excited water molecules should also be taken under consideration for the interpretation of the transformation of the four investigated NSAIDs.
