Azoles are emerging contaminants that are resistant to biodegradation during wastewater treatment. Their presence has been widely reported in wastewater effluents and receiving waters. In this work, the potential inhibition of nitrification process by six different azole compounds in wastewater treatment plants was investigated in batch bioassays. The azoles studied included three diazoles: pyrazole (Pz); 1-methylpyrazole (MePz); 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (DMePz); and three triazoles: 1,2,4-triazole (Tz); benzotriazole (BTz); and 5-Me benzotriazole (MeBTz). The concentration of azoles causing 50% inhibition (IC50) increased (azoles became less inhibitory) in the following order (mg L-1): BTz (1.99) < MeBTz (2.18) < Pz (2.69) < Tz (3.53) < DMePz (17.3) < MePz (49.6). No clear structure-inhibitory relationships were found using Log P and pKa as structural properties. The toxicity of any given azole may be related to the role of substituent groups on disabling/enabling binding to the active sites of metallo-enzymes in nitrifying microorganisms. This is exemplified by the low toxicity of MePz, which has a cyclic N blocked by a Me group. The observed inhibition caused to nitrifying bacteria is more severe than their cytotoxicity to other target organisms (e.g., methanogens and heterotrophic bacteria), suggesting a specific inhibition to the copper-containing enzyme, ammonium monooxygenase, in ammonia oxidizing nitrifying microorganisms. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 1-Methylpyrazole(cas: 930-36-9Category: pyrazoles-derivatives)
1-Methylpyrazole(cas: 930-36-9) belongs to pyrazoles. Pyrazoles and their related multiring analogs are common elements of a wide variety of bioactive compounds. These ring structures are rare in nature. A consequence of this is that they have previously been thought to be poor moieties to include in potential new drugs. Category: pyrazoles-derivatives
