Municipal wastewater is the main source of micropollutants which are present in the household products (detergents, cosmetics and paints) and natural excretion of humans (drugs and metabolites, synthetic hormones) (Bruchet et al., 2002; Bicchi et al., 2009). After their use, pharmaceuticals are excreted intact and/or as metabolites with feces and urine; thus are introduced directly into wastewater (Lo¨ffler et al., 2005). New sanitation concepts where wastewater streams are separated and treated according to their characteristics is thus an important source control strategy to avoid input of pharmaceuticals to the wastewaters and in turn to the environment.

Emerging Contaminants Sanin, Faika Dilek (2017-07-13) Many of the products and drugs used commonly contain chemical components which may persist through sewage treatment works (STW) and eventually enter the aquatic environment as parent compounds, metabolites, or transformation products. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and other emerging contaminants (ECs) have been detected in waters (typically ng/L) as well as more recently bound to sediment and plastic particles (typically ng/g). Despite significant advancement of knowledge since the late...
Occurrence and Reduction of Emerging Contaminants in Sludge Sanin, Faika Dilek (null; 2019-06-13) Emerging contaminants consist of a wide range of anthropogenic as well as natural substances which include pharmaceuticals,personal care products, steroid hormones, industrial chemicals, pesticides and many other emerging compounds. Since theirconcentrations vary from a few ng/L to several μg/L, they may also be called as micropollutants. There has been a growingawareness and concern about these chemicals for the last few decades since many of these are known to have toxic, carcinogenic orendocrine disrupti...
Biodegradation of the Allelopathic Chemical Pterostilbene by a Sphingobium sp. Strain from the Peanut Rhizosphere Yu, Ri-Qing; Kurt, Zöhre; He, Fei; Spain, Jim C. (American Society for Microbiology, 2019-03-01) Many plants produce allelopathic chemicals, such as stilbenes, to inhibit pathogenic fungi. The degradation of allelopathic compounds by bacteria associated with the plants would limit their effectiveness, but little is known about the extent of biodegradation or the bacteria involved. Screening of tissues and rhizosphere of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) plants revealed substantial enrichment of bacteria able to grow on resveratrol and pterostilbene, the most common stilbenes produced by the plants. Investigati...
Bioactive thiazole and benzothiazole derivatives Rouf, Abdul; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2015-06-05) The heterocycles are the versatile compounds existing in almost all natural products and synthetic organic compounds, usually associated with one or the other biological activity. Among the heterocycles the thiazoles and benzothiazoles occupy a prominent position. They possess a broad range of biological activities and are found in many potent biologically active molecules and drugs such as vitamin thiamine, sulfathiazol (antimicrobial drug), ritonavir (antiretroviral drug), abafungin (antifungal drug) and ...
Asymmetric organocatalytic sulfa-michael reactions of thioglycolate with isatin derived nitroalkenes Sağesen, Selin; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2018) Organosulfur compounds are present in many natural products and drugs. Sulfa-Michael reaction is the prominent method to synthesize these molecules. The novel bifuctional organocatalysts developed in our research group enable sulfa-Michael reaction to ocur asymmetrically. In this thesis, biologically active isatin derived nitroalkenes were chosen as Sulfa-Michael acceptors. Addition of methyl thioglycolate to isatin derived nitroalkenes in the presence of the bifunctional organocatalysts was studied under d...
