Pharmaceutical pollutants such as tetracycline (TC) pose a growing global threat to aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. Developing new methods for the degradation of these pollutants would be a significant advancement in their management. The progress in the development of synthetic enzymes based on nanomaterials has resulted in their replacement for natural enzymes with higher performance quality. In this work, a magnetite/Gd3+/β-cyclodextrin nanoplatform was prepared and used for TC degradation for the first time. The characterization studies were carried out using various methods, including SEM, XRD, and FTIR. The peroxidase-mimic activity of the synthesized nanoplatform was evaluated using a colorimetric assay. Kinetic parameters, including Km and Vmax, were obtained using TMB (3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine) and H2O2. The results indicated that prepared particles had a lower Km value than horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which confirmed the higher affinity of the prepared nanoplatform toward its substrates. We also demonstrated that our recyclable nanoplatform (3 mg/mL) was able to degrade 82% of TC (4.5 mM) in 85 min without any initiator such as light or ultrasonic waves. Collectively, these results confirmed the high affinity of the synthesized nanoplatform toward desired substrates, including TC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
