Recently, the increased use of antibiotics in the environment has been studied and one of them is amoxicillin. Amoxicillin (AMX) is a pharmaceutical product that can become waste due to the continuous use and released into the ecosystem even at low concentrations. The electro-oxidation process is one of the electrochemical methods used to destruct the existence of antibiotics because the process is relatively fast and inexpensive. Platinum electrode and platinum modified cobalt electrodes are used for amoxicillin electro-oxidation at the pH of 2 - 7. The range of this amoxicillin's pH was achieved by the pKa's values of the amoxicillin and measured using a UV/Vis spectrophotometer. Electron transfer during the amoxicillin electro-oxidation process with these electrodes is measured by linear sweep voltammetry. The results obtained during the electro-oxidation process showed that electron transfer of amoxicillin was 1, with a Nernstian factor of 0.0521 V/pH for platinum electrode and platinum modified cobalt electrodes, Pt/Co(OH)2 and Pt/Co respectively with values of 0.0506 V/pH and 0.0673 V/pH.

The photochemistry of phthalimide derivatives of the electron-rich amino acids tyrosine, histidine and tryptophan 8–10 was studied with respect to photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) induced decarboxylation and Norrish II bond cleavage. Whereas exclusive photodecarboxylation of the tyrosine substrate 8 was observed, the histidine compound 9 resulted in a mixture of histamine and preferential Norrish cleavage. The tryptophan derivative 10 is photochemically inert and shows preferential decarboxylation only when induced by intermolecular PET.
