The study of the interaction of drugs with DNA is very exciting and significant not only for understanding the mechanism of the interaction but also for the design of new drugs. Here, we report the results of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy studies to determine the external binding modes of sulfathiazole (STZ), and the binding constant and stability of the STZ-DNA complex in aqueous solution. The results of absorption spectra showed that the interaction of STZ-DNA is weak because there is only a hyperchromic effect. A hyperchromic effect reflects the corresponding changes of DNA in its conformation and structure after the drug-DNA interaction has occurred. Spectroscopic evidence revealed that STZ binds DNA with an overall binding constant of  K  (STZ-DNA)=0.42×10 3  m  −1 . FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the complexation of STZ with DNA occurred via A-T and PO 2  groups. Nano cadmium hydroxide has been synthesized using hexamine as the template at room temperature. Then, this nano cadmium hydroxide recrystallizes into nano cadmium oxide (CdO) at 400°C for 2 h. The product was characterized by using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The presence of drugs in aquatic media has emerged in the last decade as a new environmental risk. The other aim of this study was to investigate the degradation of the STZ antibiotic by nanosized CdO under ultraviolet irradiation. Various experimental parameters, such as initial CdO concentration, initial pH, and reaction times, were investigated. According to the results, this method has a good performance in the removal of STZ.
