General description

3-Amino-5-methylisoxazole is the major intermediate formed during sulfamethoxazole biodegradation by Pseudomonas psychrophila strain HA-4. It is the intermediate formed during the photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX).

Application

3-Amino-5-methylisoxazole was used in synthesis of:
  • naphtho[1,2-e][1,3]oxazines
  • series of 1-aryl-4-methyl-3,6-bis-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)-2-thioxo-2,3,6,10b-tetrahydro-1H-pyrimido[5,4-c]quinolin-5-ones, having potential mosquito larvicidal activity
  • hydroxylamines of sulfadiazine and sulfamethoxazole

Sulphamethoxazole (SMX) is extensively used in humans and livestock, but its appearance in natural water raises environmental concerns. This study demonstrated that SMX and its degradation product, 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole (3A5MI), could be effectively degraded in microbial fuel cell (MFC) reactors. Approximately

Photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was investigated using Bi2O3/Bi2O2CO3/Sr6Bi2O9 (BSO) photocatalyst under visible light (>420 nm) irradiation. The photochemical degradation of SMX followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The reaction kinetics was determined as a function of initial SMX concentrations (5-20 mg L(-1))
