This study investigated the degradation of an anticancer drug by laccase for the first time, demonstrating great potential in removing these hazardous substances from effluents. The enzymatic degradation of doxorubicin showed good affinity and effectiveness under specific conditions.
The degradation of an anticancer drug by laccase was investigated for the first time, bringing a new approach to treat these hazardous substances through the direct enzymatic application. Degradations of doxorubicin by laccase were performed in different enzymatic concentrations, pH values and temperatures through kinetic studies. The highest enzymatic degradation of doxorubicin was achieved at pH 7 and 30 degrees C, which resembles effluent characteristics from wastewater treatment plants. Assays were carried out in different doxorubicin concentrations to comprehend the enzymatic kinetics of degradation. Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters obtained were maximum velocity obtained (V-max) of 702.8 mu g(DOX) h(-1) L-1 and Michaelis-Menten constant (K-M) of 4.05 mu M, which showed a good affinity for the substrate. The toxicity was evaluated against L-929 cell line, and the degraded doxorubicin solution did not show a reduction in cell viability in the concentration of 250 mu g L-1. In contrast, the doxorubicin shows a reduction of 27% in cell viability. Furthermore, in the highest tested concentration (1000 mu g L-1), enzymatic degradation reduced in up 41.4% the toxicity of doxorubicin, which indicates laccase degrades doxorubicin to non-toxic compounds. In conclusion, this study provides a new application to laccase since the results showed great potential to remove anticancer drugs from effluents.
