The overuse and improper disposal of antibiotics may add to the continuous rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In this work, we demonstrate a sequential effect of two novel catalytic systems consisting of MIL-100(Fe) MOF (Metal Organic Framework) and MnO2 nanosheets to degrade amoxicillin antibiotic through the destruction of β lactam group.
The catalysts were fabricated via chemical method. the catalysts exhibit large surface area, excellent porosity, excellent catalytic activity, and insolubility and can be easily separable from the reaction mixture.
The sequential use of MIL-100(Fe) MOF and MnO2 nanosheets could showcase 92% degradation of amoxicillin within 1.5 hours under ambient conditions without any significant residual bi-product as confirmed by LCMS studies.
Impressively, the antimicrobial susceptibility of degraded residue is lessened by 33% as compared to pure amoxicillin.
