Abstract
Pesticides play a crucial role in modern agriculture, aiding in the protection of crops from pests and diseases. However, their indiscriminate use has raised concerns about their potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. Pesticide residues in food and water supplies are a serious health hazards to the general public since long-term exposure can cause cancer, endocrine disruption, and neurotoxicity, among other health problems. In response to these concerns, researchers and health professionals have been exploring alternative approaches to mitigate the toxic effects of pesticide residues. Bioactive substances called nutraceuticals that come from whole foods including fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices have drawn interest because of their ability to mitigate the negative effects of pesticide residues. These substances, which include minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols, have a variety of biological actions that may assist in the body's detoxification and healing of harm from pesticide exposure. In this context, this review aims to explore the potential of nutraceutical interventions as a promising strategy to mitigate the toxic effects of pesticide residues.

Evaluation of the phycoremediation potential of microalgae for captan removal: Comprehensive analysis on toxicity, detoxification and antioxidants modulation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 427:128177. [PMID: 34999404 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.128177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Revised: 12/26/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Captan is one of the most widely used organochlorine fungicides, its frequent application contaminates both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and negatively affects their key ecological processes. This study demonstrated the toxicity and efficient removal of captan by two different taxonomic species; the green microalga Scenedesmus obliquus and cyanobacterium Nostoc muscorum. After a week of exposure to mild (15 mg/L) and severe (30 mg/L) captan doses, the intracellular captan uptake, degradation and metabolic regulation of captan detoxification were studied. Compared to N. muscorum, S. obliquus accumulated more captan, but efficiently degraded it into two safe eco-friendly by-products; phthalic acid and 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro phthalimide. S. obliquus showed less decrease in cell growth, photosynthesis activity and related parameters including Chla content and activity of PEPC and RuBisCo enzymes. Captan at the severe dose induced oxidative damage particularly in N. muscorum, as expressed by the high levels of H2O2, MDA, NADPH oxidase and protein peroxidation. Both species invested glutathione-s-transferase enzyme in captan detoxification however, induction of antioxidant defence system e.g. ascorbate and glutathione cycle was more pronounced in S. obliquus which could explain its tolerance ability. This study provided a better understanding of the environmental risks of captan and introduced S. obliquus as a promising captan phycoremediator.

He QK, Xu CL, Li YP, Xu ZR, Luo YS, Zhao SC, Wang HL, Qi ZQ, Liu Y. Captan exposure disrupts ovarian homeostasis and affects oocytes quality via mitochondrial dysfunction induced apoptosis. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131625. [PMID: 34303901 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Captan is a non-systematic fungicide widely used in agricultural production, and its residues have been found in the environment and daily diet. Previous studies confirmed that captan exerts several toxic effects on tissues, but its effect on the mammalian female reproductive system is unclear. In current study, we reported that captan affected mouse ovarian homeostasis and disrupted female hormone receptor expression, leading to impaired follicular development. Ovarian follicles from the captan exposure group showed an increased level of inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis. In addition, captan exposure disrupted oocyte development. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that captan changed multiple genes expression in oocytes, including autophagy and apoptosis. Further molecular testing showed that captan induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, as indicated by the increased level of reactive oxygen species, disrupted mitochondrial structure and distribution, and depolarized membrane potential. Furthermore, captan triggered DNA damage, autophagy and early apoptosis, as shown by the enhanced levels of γ-H2AX, LC3, and Annexin-V and increased expression of related genes. Taken together, these results indicated that captan exposure impairs ovarian homeostasis and subsequently affects oocyte development.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH. PART. B, PESTICIDES, FOOD CONTAMINANTS, AND AGRICULTURAL WASTES 2021; 56:877-883.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to examine cytotoxic and genotoxic damage in human BJ fibroblasts caused by three pesticides used worldwide by trypan blue dye exclusion assays and to measure the relative level of phosphorylated histone H2A.X by flow cytometry at different concentrations. Captan-based fungicide and methyl thiophanate-based fungicide (100 and 1000 µΜ) showed immediate cytotoxic effects; furthermore, after 24 h, captan-based fungicide, chlorothalonil-based fungicide and methyl thiophanate-based fungicide caused cytotoxic effects in the concentration ranges of 40-100 µM, 30-100 µM and 150-1000 µM, respectively. All fungicides generated DNA damage in the treated cells by activating ATM and H2A.X sensor proteins. The three fungicides tested generated DNA double-stranded breaks and showed cytotoxicity at concentrations 33, 34, and 5 times lower (captan, chlorothalonil and thiophanate-methyl respectively) than those used in the field, as recommended by the manufacturers.

A new HPTLC platformed luminescent biosensor system for facile screening of captan residue in fruits. Food Chem 2020; 309:125691. [PMID: 31679853 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2019.125691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2019] [Revised: 10/07/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
This study presented a HPTLC platformed luminescent biosensor system for screening captan residue. First, the potential bio-effects of layers materials on the detectability of a luminescent bacteria Photobacterium phosphoreum (ATCC 11040) as the sensor cell were assessed. From comparison, it was noteworthy that the combination of sensor cells with normal silica gel layer exclusively gave outstanding detectability (<10 ng/zone). On this basis, HPTLC mediated separation and biosensing was further optimized. Then, the obtained graphic results were digitally quantified via software processing, offering satisfactory selectivity, linearity (R2 = 0.9901 within 10-80 ng/zone) and sensitivity (0.5 mg/kg against MRLs ≥ 6 mg/kg). Additionally, the performance of the established method was validated with different fruits (recover rates 75-96%, RSD < 11.8%). Meanwhile, it was demonstrated that detectability of this hybrid system would be tuneable by altering the combination of bacteria strains and layer materials, which was meaningful to strengthen the usability of microbial biosensors.
