Abstract
Tebuconazole (TEB) is a broad-spectrum conazole fungicide that has been used in agriculture in the control of foliar and soil-borne diseases of many crops. The present study has investigated the adverse effects of subchronic exposure to TEB on the kidney of male rats. Animals were divided into four equal groups and treated with TEB at increasing doses 0.9, 9 and 27 mg/kg body weight for 28 consecutive days. The results showed that TEB induced oxidative stress in the kidney demonstrated by an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PC), advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP) levels and DNA damage, as compared to the controls. Furthermore, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities were increased in the renal tissue of treated rats. Moreover, significant decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) content in TEB-treated rats was observed, while oxidized glutathione (GSSG) levels were increased, thus a marked fall in GSH/GSSG ratio was registered in the kidney. Glutathione reductase (GR) activity showed a significant increase after TEB exposure. Moreover, TEB down-regulated the expression of Bcl2 and up-regulated the expression of Bax and caspase 3, which triggered apoptosis via the Bax/Bcl2 and caspase pathway. Also, TEB administration resulted in altered biochemical indicators of renal function and varying lesions in the overall histo-architecture of renal tissues. Taken together, our findings brought into light the renal toxicity induced by TEB, which was found to be significant at low doses.

Abstract
A series of novel bis-1,2,4-triazoles and bis-1,3,4-thiadiazoles bearing pyridine rings was synthesised, by multistep reaction sequences, in good to high yields. Reaction of pyridine-2,5-bis- and pyridine-2,6-bis-carbohydrazides with alkyl- or aryl-isothiocyanates gave the corresponding bis(thiosemicarbazide) derivatives, which could be cyclised under strongly basic conditions to give novel pyridine bis(1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols). However, under strongly acidic conditions the corresponding bis(2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles) were obtained. The synthetic routes and spectroscopic characterisation of the new compounds are reported.
