Desethylene ciprofloxacin is a major metabolite of ciprofloxacin . It is also a degradation product of ciprofloxacin that can be created through advanced oxygenation processes as a potential way to remove ciprofloxacin from wastewater. It is also created during degradation of ciprofloxacin by chlorination.
Ibuprofen carboxylic acid is a major metabolite of ibuprofen . It prevents fructose-, cyanate-, and prednisolone-induced inactivation of catalase and fructose- and cyanate-induced inactivation of fumarase when used at a concentration of 2 mM and penetrates into the lens of isolated bovine eyes. Ibuprofen carboxylic acid has been found in bank filtrate and surface water, as well as influent and effluent wastewater, and is considered a micropollutant.
Norfluoxetine-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of norfluoxetine by GC- or LC-MS. Norfluoxetine is an active metabolite of the antidepressant fluoxetine. It is formed from fluoxetine by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A. Norfluoxetine inhibits serotonin (5-HT) uptake in rat brain synaptosomal membrane preparations (Ki = 44.7 nM) and isolated human platelets (IC50 = ~15 nM). It has been found in the tissues of fish exposed to wastewater effluent.
Clofibric acid-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of clofibric acid by GC- or LC-MS. Clofibric acid is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist (EC50 = 50 µM in a transactivation assay) and the active metabolite of clofibrate. It is formed from clofibrate by tissue and serum esterases. Dietary administration of clofibric acid (0.067-0.22%) reduces serum cholesterol, phospholipid, and triglyceride levels in rats. It decreases glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) levels and increases glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, markers of xenobiotic stress, in the plasma of carp (C. carpio) when administered in tank water at a concentration of 10 µg L. Clofibric acid has been found in wastewater effluent.
11(Z),14(Z),17(Z)-Eicosatrienoic acid methyl ester is the ester derivative of 11(Z),14(Z),17(Z)-eicosatrienoic acid, identified within lipid-producing microalgae Nannochloropsis, as well as in diesel-contaminated soils and residential wastewater.
10,11-Dihydro-10,11-dihydroxy Carbamazepine, a metabolite of the anticonvulsant carbamazepine and the antiepileptic prodrug oxcarbazepine, is produced through the biotransformation of carbamazepine via a carbamazepine 10,11-epoxide intermediate by epoxide hydrolase, and from oxcarbazepine via a 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxy carbamazepine intermediate. This compound has been detected in wastewater effluent, highlighting its environmental presence following pharmaceutical use.
