Cytotoxicity assessment of antibiotics on Ctenopharyngodon idellus kidney cells by a sensitive electrochemical method
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH(2021)
摘要
As emerging pollutants, antibiotics are ubiquitous in the environment and pose a threat to human health, giving rise to an urgent need to assess their biological toxicity. In the present study, a cell electrochemical method based on the bromocresol violet/carbon nanotubes/glassy carbon electrode (BCP/MWCNTs/GCE) was established to evaluate the cytotoxicities of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and tetracycline (TC). BCP/MWCNTs/GCE has advantages due to its excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of electroactive species of the Ctenopharyngodon idellus kidney (CIK) cells. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) values of SMZ, CIP, and TC obtained by the electrochemical method were 831.51 μM, 354.98 μM, and 184.51 μM, which were lower than those of the traditional methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolium (MTT) assay (907.47 μM, 414.87 μM, and 208.11 μM). These results indicate the higher sensitivity of the electrochemical method. This study provided a sensitive tool for the cytotoxicity evaluation of antibiotics in the environmental toxicology field.
