    Abstract Photolytic transformation of aspartame - a widely used artificial sweetener - under the simulated sunlight was studied for the first time. The experiments were conducted in pH range of 2.5 - 7.0 and in eight soft drinks available in the market. The highest degradation rate in the tested buffered solutions was observed under the neutral pH conditions. Irradiation of the soft drinks resulted in significantly (up to tenfold) faster degradation of aspartame, regardless of its initial concentration in the beverage. Such considerable acceleration of decomposition, not reported for aspartame so far, was ascribed to influence of the co-occurring ingredients, which can act as the photosensitizers. These findings indicate that some formulations may be particularly unfavorable in the context of aspartame photostability. Qualitative analysis of the studied processes revealed formation of six phototransformation products including three previously not described. In silico estimation of toxicity showed that some of the identified photoproducts, including the novel phenolic derivatives, may be more harmful than the parent compound. Taking into account relatively extensive formation of those products in the soft drinks, such finding may be particularly important from the food safety point of view.

    Abstract In the present study the photochemical fate of organoiodine compound – amiodarone was performed. The drug turned out to be highly susceptible to UV–Vis irradiation, especially in the presence of humic substances and organic matrix. Qualitative LC-MS analysis revealed formation of twelve – mainly previously unreported – transformation products (TPs). Four major TPs were submitted to the toxicity analysis with the use of D. magna. All of the tested TPs presented higher toxic potential than the parent compound. The phenolic TPs were approximately 100 times more toxic than amiodarone. Toxic properties of the major TPs resulted in steadily increasing toxic potential of the photo-generated mixture over the time of irradiation. Moreover, the experimental toxicity data, concerning the TPs, were compared with results estimated by 6 in silico models with the use of a multivariate chemometric analysis. The results showed that the applied computational methods were able neither to correctly predict toxic properties of the studied compounds, nor the trends in change of their toxic parameters. Additional validation of in silico models ability to predict toxicity of iodinated organic compounds showed that the studied computational methods do not present sufficient prediction ability. Therefore their estimations concerning organoiodines should be verified using experimental tests.

    Abstract Understanding the metabolism of pharmaceutical compounds is a fundamental prerequisite for ensuring their safety and efficacy in clinical use. However, conventional methods for monitoring drug metabolism often come with the drawbacks of being time-consuming and costly. In an ongoing quest for innovative approaches, the application of electrochemistry in metabolism studies has gained prominence as a promising approach for the synthesis and analysis of drug transformation products. In this study, we investigated the hepatic metabolism of voriconazole, an antifungal medication, by utilizing human liver microsomes (HLM) assay coupled with LC-MS. Based on the obtained results, the electrochemical parameters were optimized to simulate the biotransformation reactions. Among the various electrodes tested, the chemometric analysis revealed that the iron(II) phthalocyanine electrode was the most effective in catalyzing the formation of all hepatic voriconazole metabolites. These findings exemplify the potential of phthalocyanine electrodes as an efficient and cost-effective tool for simulating the intricate metabolic processes involved in drug biotransformation, offering new possibilities in the field of pharmaceutical research. Additionally, in silico analysis showed that two detected metabolites may exhibit significantly higher acute toxicity and mutagenic potential than the parent compound.

    Abstract Fungal infections pose a significant global health burden, resulting in millions of severe cases and deaths annually. The escalating demand for effective antifungal treatments has led to a rise in the wholesale distribution of antifungal drugs, which consequently has led to their release into the environment, posing a threat to ecosystems and human health. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the presence and distribution of antifungal drugs in the environment, evaluate their potential ecological and health risks, and assess current methods for their removal. Reviewed studies from 2010 to 2023 period have revealed the widespread occurrence of 19 various antifungals in natural waters and other matrices at alarmingly high concentrations. Due to the inefficiency of conventional water treatment in removing these compounds, advanced oxidation processes, membrane filtration, and adsorption techniques have been developed as promising decontamination methods.In conclusion, this review emphasizes the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of the presence, fate, and removal of antifungal drugs in the environment. By addressing the current knowledge gaps and exploring future prospects, this study contributes to the development of strategies for mitigating the environmental impact of antifungal drugs and protecting ecosystems and human health.

    Abstract In the present study the photochemical fate of organoiodine compound - amiodarone was performed. The drug turned out to be highly susceptible to UV-Vis irradiation, especially in the presence of humic substances and organic matrix.

Four major TPs were submitted to the toxicity analysis with the use of D. magna. All of the tested TPs presented higher toxic potential than the parent compound. The phenolic TPs were approximately 100 times more toxic than amiodarone. Toxic properties of the major TPs resulted in steadily increasing toxic potential of the photo-generated mixture over the time of irradiation. Moreover, the experimental toxicity data, concerning the TPs, were compared with results estimated by 6 in silico models with the use of a multivariate chemometric analysis. The results showed that the applied computational methods were able neither to correctly predict toxic properties of the studied compounds, nor the trends in change of their toxic parameters. Additional validation of in silico models ability to predict toxicity of iodinated organic compounds showed that the studied computational methods do not present sufficient prediction ability.

    Abstract In this study photochemical transformation of the antiretroviral pharmaceutical maraviroc under the simulated UV-Vis radiation was presented. The drug was shown to be extremely photo-resistant, with a half-life over 250 h, which is particularly significant, considering its presence in the aquatic environments. Addition of the natural river water matrix substantially increased the degradation rate, albeit the process led to formation of numerous phototransformation products. Due to high photostability and presumable environmental persistence of maraviroc, a photocatalytic method of its elimination was proposed. Although titanium dioxide alone presented acceptable results, its combination with peroxymonosulfate enormously accelerated the degradation process, increasing it over 67 000 times in comparison with the direct photolysis. Substitution of ultrapure water with river water resulted in inhibition of the PMS-driven processes, however the decomposition efficiency was still very high. Noteworthy, majority of the identified photoproducts were still present after termination of irradiation in all the experiments, which may indicate necessity of ecotoxicological assessment of those compounds.

    Abstract In this study, the phase I hepatic metabolism pathway of a cardiovascular drug nebivolol was proposed on the basis of a human liver microsomes assay with the use of LC-HR-MS coupled with the chemometric method. Six biotransformation products were found with the assistance of chemometric analysis. Five of them were identified as the previously reported products of alicyclic hydroxylation and dihydroxylation, aromatic hydroxylation, as well as alicyclic oxidation of the parent compound. Moreover, one metabolite, not reported so far, was found to be a product of N-dealkylation of nebivolol-2-amino-1-(6-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2
