“…The primary search terms were “biodegradation and (diclofenac, ibuprofen, or paracetamol),” “bacteria removal and (diclofenac, ibuprofen, or paracetamol),” and “fungi removal and (diclofenac, ibuprofen or paracetamol).” In addition, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis was carried out using the international scientific database Scopus, aiming at mapping and understanding the interest and evolution of studies related to NSAIDs during the COVID-19 pandemic. To carry out this study, the methodology proposed by different authors was employed and adapted ( Ucella-Filho et al, 2022 ; Lucas et al, 2023 ). In order to collect data relevant to the approached study topic, a search command was drawn up which included keywords pertinent to the focus of this review, and that were present in the titles or abstracts of articles.…”

The consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have increased significantly in the last years (2020–2022), especially for patients in COVID-19 treatment. NSAIDs such as diclofenac, ibuprofen, and paracetamol are often available without restrictions, being employed without medical supervision for basic symptoms of inflammatory processes. Furthermore, these compounds are increasingly present in nature constituting complex mixtures discarded at domestic and hospital sewage/wastewater. Therefore, this review emphasizes the biodegradation of diclofenac, ibuprofen, and paracetamol by pure cultures or consortia of fungi and bacteria at in vitro, in situ, and ex situ processes. Considering the influence of different factors (inoculum dose, pH, temperature, co-factors, reaction time, and microbial isolation medium) relevant for the identification of highly efficient alternatives for pharmaceuticals decontamination, since biologically active micropollutants became a worldwide issue that should be carefully addressed. In addition, we present a quantitative bibliometric survey, which reinforces that the consumption of these drugs and consequently their impact on the environment goes beyond the epidemiological control of COVID-19.
