RESUMO

A series of arylfluorosulfates were synthesized as fungicide candidates through a highly efficient sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx) reaction. A total of 32 arylfluorosulfate derivatives with simple structures have been synthesized, and most of them exhibited fungal activities in vitro against five agricultural pathogens (Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Pyricularia oryzae, and Phytophthora infestans). Among the target compounds, compound 31 exhibited great antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani (EC50 = 1.51 µg/mL), which was comparable to commercial fungicides carbendazim and thiabendazole (EC50 = 0.53 and 0.70 µg/mL, respectively); compounds 17 and 30 exhibited antifungal activities against Pyricularia oryzae (EC50 = 1.64 and 1.73 µg/mL, respectively) comparable to carbendazim (EC50 = 1.02 µg/mL). The in vitro antifungal effect of compound 31 was also evaluated on rice plants against Rhizoctonia solani. Significant preventive and curative efficacies were observed (89.2% and 91.8%, respectively, at 200 µg/mL), exceeding that of thiabendazole. Primary study on the mechanism of action indicated that compound 31 could suppress the sclerotia formation of Rhizoctonia solani even at a very low concentration (1.00 µg/mL), destroy the cell membrane and mitochondria, trigger the release of cellular contents, produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and suppress the activity of several related enzymes. This work could bring new insights into the development of arylfluorosulfates as novel fungicides.

RESUMO

Development of efficient and intelligent method for detecting harmful agrochemicals in resource-limited settings remains an urgent need to ensure food and environmental safety. Herein, a novel dual-emitting Tb3+-modified hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Tb@TBTC, TBTC is the ligand of HOF-TBTC.) with visible green fluorescence has been prepared through coordination post-synthetic modification. Tb@TBTC can be designed as a fluorescence sensor for the identification of two harmful carcinogenic pesticides, thiabendazole (TBZ) and 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) with high sensitivity, high efficiency and excellent selectivity. Tb@TBTC can also adsorb 2-CP with high adsorption rate. In realistic fruit juice and river water samples, the detection limits of Tb@TBTC toward TBZ and 2-CP are as low as 2.73 µM and 2.18 µM, respectively, demonstrating the feasibility in practical application. Furthermore, an intelligent real-time and on-site monitoring platform for 2-CP detection is constructed based on Tb@TBTC-agarose hydrogel films with the assistance of back propagation neural network, which can efficiently and accurately determine the concentration of 2-CP from fluorescence images through human-machine interaction. This work presents a facile pathway to prepare Tb@HOF fluorescent sensor for food and ecological environment safety, which is highly promising for preventing human disease and improving global public health.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: To date, few studies have focused on the health effects of pesticide exposure among avocado farmworkers. We examined the association of exposure to insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides with cognitive and mental health outcomes among these avocado workers from Michoacan, Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 105 avocado farmworkers between May and August 2021. We collected data on self-reported pesticide use during the 12 months prior to the baseline survey and estimated annual exposure-intensity scores (EIS) using a semi-quantitative exposure algorithm. We calculated specific gravity adjusted average concentrations of 12 insecticide, fungicide, or herbicide metabolites measured in urine samples collected during two study visits (8-10 weeks apart). We assessed participants' cognitive function and psychological distress using the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery and the Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI-18), respectively. We examined individual associations of EIS and urinary pesticide metabolites with neurobehavioral outcomes using generalized linear regression models. We also implemented Bayesian Weighted Quantile Sum (BWQS) regression to evaluate the association between a pesticide metabolite mixture and neurobehavioral outcomes. RESULTS: In individual models, after adjusting for multiple comparisons, higher concentrations of hydroxy-tebuconazole (OH-TEB, metabolite of fungicide tebuconazole) were associated with higher anxiety (IRR per two-fold increase in concentrations = 1.26, 95% CI:1.08, 1.48) and Global Severity Index (GSI) (IRR = 1.89, 95% CI:1.36, 2.75) scores, whereas higher concentrations of 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy, metabolite of chlorpyrifos) were associated with lower GSI scores (IRR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.56, 0.85). In BWQS analyses, we found evidence of a mixture association of urinary pesticide metabolites with higher anxiety (IRR = 1.72, 95% CrI: 1.12, 2.55), depression (IRR = 4.60, 95% CrI: 2.19, 9.43), and GSI (IRR = 1.99, 95% CrI: 1.39, 2.79) scores. OH-TEB and hydroxy-thiabendazole (metabolite of fungicide thiabendazole) combined contributed 54%, 40%, and 54% to the mixture effect in the anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and overall psychological distress models, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We found that exposure to tebuconazole and thiabendazole, fungicides whose effects have been rarely studied in humans, may be associated with increased psychological distress among avocado farmworkers. We also observed that exposure to chlorpyrifos may be associated with decreased psychological distress.

RESUMO

Pesticides that linger in the environment and ecosystems for an extended period can cause severe and dangerous health problems in humans. To detect pesticides in foods, the development of high-sensitivity and quick screening technologies was required. This research investigated the performance of Au@Ag NPs with varying thicknesses of the silver shell for detecting trace quantities of thiabendazole (TBZ) in apples using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The Au@Ag NPs were synthesized by coating 32 nm gold seeds with different thicknesses of silver shell ranging from 2.4 to 8.7 nm, achieved by adjusting the incorporation of AgNO3 and ascorbic acid. The optimized Au@Ag NPs with a 7.3 nm silver shell demonstrated outstanding SERS activity, high sensitivity, and a detection limit of 0.05 µg/mL for TBZ. The R2 values, representing the goodness of fit, were found to be 0.990 and 0.986 for standard and real TBZ samples, respectively, indicating a strong correlation between the measured signal and the TBZ concentration. The recovery analysis showed a reliable and accurate detection capability (96 to 105%), suggesting good reliability and accuracy of the SERS-based detection using the optimal Au@Ag NPs. Overall, this research highlights the potential of SERS with optimal Au@Ag NPs for rapid and effective monitoring of pesticides in the food industry.

RESUMO

Quantitative determination of pesticides in fruits and vegetables is essential for human healths. Herein, a new dual-emission carbon dots with high fluorescence stability at a pH range of 4-10 and a temperature range of 0-60 °C was synthesized. And a novel ratiometric fluorescence probe was proposed to detect thiabendazole (TBZ) residue with a wide linear range (0-1000 µM) and low detection limit (0.15 µM). The emission at 512 nm exhibited a special "turn-off" fluorescence sensing of TBZ due to internal filter effect, while that at 361 nm barely changed and worked as reference. Furthermore, the ratiometric fluorescence strategy was successfully applied for determining TBZ in fruits with good recoveries (96.73%-111.17 %, 93.29%-120.78 % and 96.28%-100.57 %, respectively). Notably, the constructed ratiometric fluorescence probe had comparable accuracy to HPLC in detecting unknown concentrations of TBZ in pear juice, demonstrating dual-emission carbon dots possess wide and promising applicability for fluorescence sensing pesticides in the future.

RESUMO

Pesticide residue poses a significant global public health concern, necessitating improved detection methods. Here, a novel platform was introduced based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect ten distinct types of pesticides. Notably, the sensitivity of this approach is exemplified by detecting trace amounts of 50 pM (10 ppt) thiabendazole. The correlation between the characteristic peak intensity of coexisting pesticides and their concentrations displays an exceptional linear relationship (R2 = 0.9999), underscoring its utility for quantitative mixed pesticide detection. Additionally, qualitative analysis of five mixed pesticides was conducted leveraging distinctive peak labeling. Harnessing machine learning techniques, a model for classifying and predicting pesticides on pericarps was developed. Remarkably, the convolutional neural network achieved classification accuracy of 100 % and prediction accuracy of 99.62 %. This innovative approach accurately identifies and quantifies diverse pesticides, thus offering a feasible scheme for in-situ detection of pesticide residues. Ultimately, this strategy contributes to ensuring food safety and public health.

RESUMO

A magnetic metal-organic framework MIL-68(Al) and a covalent organic framework were used as magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) adsorbents in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) to detect carbendazim (CBZ) and thiabendazole (TBZ). The main parameters affecting the extraction in the MSPE process were studied and optimized. Fe3O4@MIL-68(Al) coated with 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene and terephthaldehyde (Fe3O4@MIL-68(Al)@TAPB-PDA-COF) was analyzed and verified. The material was proven to be suitable for adsorbing CBZ and TBZ. Various adsorption models were used to study its adsorption mechanism. The adsorption results were in good agreement with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Fe3O4@MIL-68(Al)@TAPB-PDA-COF over CBZ and TBZ were 54.24 and 67.87 mg g-1, respectively, and the equilibrium adsorption time was 200 min. Fe3O4@MIL-68(Al)@TAPB-PDA-COF with excellent recyclability showed higher adsorption capacity and selectivity. A method based on Fe3O4@MIL-68(Al)@TAPB-PDA-COF combined with HPLC-UV was established under the optimal extraction conditions and used to separate and detect trace imidazole drugs in Chinese herbal samples, achieving a low limit of detection (0.65-1.30 µg L-1) with excellent linear correlation (r > 0.999). The recovery rate and relative standard deviation were 86.05-99.78 % and 0.15-4.90 %, respectively. Therefore, the Fe3O4@MIL-68@TAPB-PDA-COF can be regarded as an effective adsorbent for the pretreatment of CBZ and TBZ drugs in Chinese herbal samples.

RESUMO

The occurrence, seasonal variations and spatial distribution of emerging contaminants (ECs) in wastewater effluents from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and UAE's receiving coastal aquatic environment (seawater and sediments) were evaluated in the present study. A total of 21, 23, and 22 contaminants in the effluents, seawater, and sediments, respectively, at concentrations ranging from low ng L-1 up to 1782 ng L-1 in effluents, from low ng/l up to 236.10 ng L-1 in seawater, and from low ng g-1 up to 60.15 ng g-1 in sediments were recorded. The study revealed that imidacloprid, thiabendazole, and acetaminophen were the most ubiquitous compounds in effluents, seawater, and sediments, respectively, since they were found in all samples collected with a detection frequency of 100%. The study also revealed that the higher concentrations of most contaminants were recorded in autumn. However, thiabendazole in effluents and seawater, acetamiprid in effluents, and sulphapyridine in seawater and sediments showed a higher load in winter. This study highlights the need for proper monitoring and management of ECs in wastewater effluents, seawater, and sediments, especially during the autumn and winter seasons, to minimize their impact on the marine ecosystem and public health.

RESUMO

Thiabendazole is an anthelmintic drug used to treat strongyloidiasis (threadworm), cutaneous and visceral larva migrans, trichinosis, and other parasites. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is typically administered orally as tablets that should be chewed before swallowing. Current formulations combine the active ingredient with excipients, including sodium saccharinate as a sweetener. Thiabendazole's low aqueous solubility hinders fast dissolution and absorption through the mucous membranes. We sought to reformulate this medicine to improve both solubility and palatability. We utilized the possibility of protonation of the azole nitrogen atom and selected four different hydrogen donors: saccharin, fumaric, maleic, and oxalic acids. Solvothermal synthesis resulted in salts with each co-former, whereas neat and liquid-assisted grinding enabled the synthesis of additional formulations. Product formation was observed by powder X-ray diffraction. To better understand the structural basis of the proton transfer, we solved the crystal structures of the salts with saccharin, maleic acid, and oxalic acid using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of the salt with fumaric acid was solved by powder X-ray diffraction. We further characterized the salts with vibrational spectroscopic and thermoanalytical methods. We report a broad tunability of the aqueous solubility of thiabendazole by salt formation. Reformulation with maleic acid provided a 60-fold increase in solubility, while saccharin and oxalic acid gave a modest improvement. Fumaric acid resulted in a solid with only slightly higher solubility. Furthermore, saccharin is a sweetener, while the acids taste sour. Therefore, the salts formed also result in an intrinsic improvement of palatability. These results can inform new strategies for oral and chewable tablet formulations for treating helminthic infections.

RESUMO

There is an increasing need for developing a strategy to analyze the penetration of pesticides in cultures during postharvest control with minimal or no sample preparation. This study explores the combined use of laser ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (LAESI imaging) and tissue spray ionization mass spectrometry (TSI-MS) to investigate the penetration of thiabendazole (TBZ) in fruits, simulating a postharvest procedure. Slices of guava and apple were prepared, and an infrared laser beam was used, resulting in the ablation of TBZ directly ionized by electrospray and analyzed by mass spectrometry. The experiments were conducted for 5 days of fruit storage after TBZ administration to simulate a postharvest treatment. During postharvest treatment, TBZ is applied directly to the fruit peel after harvesting. Consequently, TBZ residues may remain on the peel if the consumer does not wash the fruit properly before its consumption. To evaluate the effectiveness of household washing procedures, TSI-MS was employed as a rapid and straightforward technique to monitor the remaining amount of TBZ in guava and apple peels following fruit washing. This study highlights the advantages of LAESI imaging for evaluating TBZ penetration in fruits. Moreover, the powerful capabilities of TSI-MS are demonstrated in monitoring and estimating TBZ residues after pesticide application, enabling the comprehensive unveiling of pesticide contaminants in fruits.

RESUMO

In this work, a four-way multivariate calibration method for the simultaneous determination of four pesticides - carbendazim (CBZ), thiabendazole (TBZ), pirimiphos-methyl (PMM), and clothianidin (CLT) - in lemon juice is presented. Third-order data were acquired by registering the photoinduced fluorescence of the analytes as excitation-emission matrices at different times of UV-light irradiation, in the presence of organized media (direct micelles) as fluorescence enhancers. The optimal experimental conditions (pH 11.5 and 32 mmol L-1 hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride surfactant) were determined through a central composite design using the response surface methodology. The analytes were individually calibrated, except for TBZ and CBZ due to the inner filter effect of TBZ on CBZ. Test samples containing all analytes and imidacloprid (as potential interference) were analysed. PARAFAC was utilized to evaluate both the trilinearity and quadrilinearity of the third-order data and four-way arrays, respectively. PMM was successfully determined with quadrilinear PARAFAC decomposition, whereas CLT, TBZ, and CBZ were satisfactorily modelled using U-PLS/RTL due to the loss of quadrilinearity caused by different phenomena. The profitable applicability of the analytical method in the CBZ, TBZ, PMM, and CLT determination in lemon juice samples was demonstrated, achieving limits of detection below the maximum residue levels reported by the European Commission, and mean recoveries at 90 ± 5%.

RESUMO

Plant tannins are known for their anthelmintic and antiparasitic activities and have been increasingly studied to battle the ever-growing problem of anthelmintic resistance. While tannins have been shown to exhibit these activities on their own, one approach would be to use them as complementary nutrients alongside commercial anthelmintics. So far, research on the interactions between tannins and anthelmintics is limited, and few studies have reported both synergistic and antagonistic effects depending on the type of tannin and the method used. These interactions could either strengthen or weaken the efficacy of commercial anthelmintics, especially if tannin-rich diets are combined with anthelmintics used as oral drenches. To study these interactions, a series of hydrolysable tannins (HTs) was selected, and their direct interactions with thiabendazole (TBZ) were evaluated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), which allowed the detection of the exothermic interaction but also the roles and significances of different structural features of HTs in these interactions. Our results show that HTs can have a direct interaction with the benzimidazole anthelmintic TBZ and that the interaction is strengthened by increasing the number of free galloyl groups and the overall molecular flexibility of HTs.

RESUMO

In recent years, the excessive use of pesticides has posed significant hazards to the ecological environment and human health in the pursuit of high crop yields. In this work, we developed a simple, sensitive, and eco-friendly approach for rapid detection of thiabendazole in apple juice using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) coupled with silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs). The developed Au@Ag NPs exhibited excellent sensitivity, allowing for the detection of thiabendazole in standard solutions at a minimum concentration of 50 ng/mL. Furthermore, two sample preparation methods were compared for detecting thiabendazole in apple juice. As the direct detection method for SERS analysis failed to detect thiabendazole at levels below the maximum residue limit based on the Chinese standard (3000 ng/mL), the effects of main matrix components in apple juice on the detection of thiabendazole were further investigated. The results revealed that both sugars and organic acids in apple juice interfered with the SERS measurement to varying degrees. Consequently, we optimized the QuEChERS method for sample preparation and achieved a higher sensitivity with a minimum detectable concentration of 250 ng/mL, a limit of detection of 0.06 mg/L and the recoveries of spiked samples were ranged from 80.2 % to 108.6 %. This study demonstrated the feasibility of proposed SERS method for pesticide residue analysis, addressing the need for food safety monitoring.

RESUMO

In this study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with chemometric methods were developed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of four benzimidazole (BMZs) residues in corn. Sulfhydryl functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag-SH magnetic SERS substrates were prepared to obtain the SERS spectra of four BMZs for chemometric analysis. The partial least squares regression discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) model performed best, with a recall rate upwards 99.17%, and could successfully distinguish four BMZs. Under the support vector machine regression (SVR) model, the detection limits of carbendazim, benomyl, thiophanate-methyl and thiabendazole were 0.055 mg/L, 0.056 mg/L, 0.067 mg/L and 0.093 mg/L, respectively; the average recovery was in the range of 85.6%-107.5%. Furthermore, the method verified by HPLC, and the results showed that there was no significant difference between two methods (p > 0.05). Therefore, the strategy based on SERS coupling chemometrics can be served as a promising tool for rapid determination of BMZs residues in food.

RESUMO

A novel self-enhancement molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor (MIP/M-Ag@MoS2-QDs/GCE) was constructed to detect thiabendazole (TBZ) in food. Melamine was used as template to chelate Ag+ to prepare composite nanomaterials (M-Ag). M-Ag possesses both ECL properties and coreactant catalytic properties, which can realize the self-enhancement of ECL luminophore. MoS2-QDs with excellent edge activity and electrochemical reaction catalytic activity were used to accelerate the reaction rate of the microsystem and further enhance the ECL intensity. The specific detection method of TBZ was established by investigating the ECL response mechanism and specific recognition mechanism of MIP/M-Ag@MoS2-QDs/GCE. The ECL intensity was proportioned to the lg C(TBZ) in the linear range 5 × 10-8 mol L-1-5 × 10-5 mol L-1 with a limit detection of 1.42 × 10-8 mol L-1. The satisfactory recovery rate (83.57%-101.03%) was obtained in sample analysis, which was in good agreement with the analysis result of HPLC.

RESUMO

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) irradiation has a sterilizing effect without thermal denaturation or the production of residual substances. Hence, it is considered to be a safe sterilization technology with minimal damage for fresh foods. In addition, its decomposition effect on chemical substances has also been confirmed, and the application of CAP in the food and agricultural domains is increasing. In this study, we examined the potential of CAP to detoxify pesticide residues. Post-harvest chemical treatments using pesticides, such as fungicides, are frequently employed in imported agricultural products and are often disapproved by consumers. Therefore, we assessed the detoxification of thiabendazole (TBZ), a widely used post-harvest pesticide, using low-cost air plasma irradiation. We found that CAP irradiation conditions that detoxified TBZ caused little damage to the edible parts of mandarin oranges. The results of the present study suggest that CAP irradiation is useful for detoxifying and degrading pesticide residues without damaging agricultural products and that CAP irradiation is an effective means of maintaining food safety.

RESUMO

Pesticide active ingredients (AIs) are often applied with adjuvants to facilitate the stability and functionality of AIs in agricultural practice. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of a common non-ionic surfactant, alkylphenol ethoxylate (APEO), on the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) analysis of pesticides as well as its impact on pesticide persistence on apple surfaces, as a model fresh produce surface. The wetted areas of two AIs (thiabendazole and phosmet) mixed with APEO were determined respectively to correct the unit concentration applied on apple surfaces for a fair comparison. SERS with gold nanoparticle (AuNP) mirror substrates was applied to measure the signal intensity of AIs with and without APEO on apple surfaces after a short-term (45 min) and a long-term (5 days) exposure. The limit of detection (LOD) of thiabendazole and phosmet using this SERS-based method were 0.861 ppm and 2.883 ppm, respectively. The result showed that APEO decreased the SERS signal for non-systemic phosmet, while increased SERS intensity of systemic thiabendazole on apple surfaces after 45 min pesticide exposure. After 5 days, the SERS intensity of thiabendazole with APEO was higher than thiabendazole alone, and there was no significant difference between phosmet with and without APEO. Possible mechanisms were discussed. Furthermore, a 1% sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) washing method was applied to test the impact of APEO on the persistence of the residues on apple surfaces after short-term and long-term exposures. The results indicated that APEO significantly enhanced the persistence of thiabendazole on plant surfaces after a 5-day exposure, while there was no significant impact on phosmet. The information obtained facilitates a better understanding of the impact of the non-ionic surfactant on SERS analysis of pesticide behavior on and in plants and helps further develop the SERS method for studying complex pesticide formulations in plant systems.

RESUMO

Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a fungicide and anthelmintic drug commonly found in food products. Due to its toxicity and potential carcinogenicity, its determination in various samples is important for public health. Different analytical methods can be used to determine the presence and concentration of TBZ in samples. Liquid chromatography (LC) and its subtypes, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), are the most commonly used methods for TBZ determination representing 19%, 18%, and 18% of the described methods, respectively. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and fluorimetry are two more methods widely used for TBZ determination, representing 13% and 12% of the described methods, respectively. In this review, a number of methods for TBZ determination are described, but due to their limitations, there is a high potential for the further improvement and development of each method in order to obtain a simple, precise, and accurate method that can be used for routine analysis.

RESUMO

In this study, a high-performance, stable and homogeneous Au@AgNRs/CMC/qPCR flexible film surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was constructed by synergistically stabilizing and protecting bimetallic core-shell Au@Ag nanorods (Au@AgNRs) with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and fluorescent-quantitative-polymerase-chain-reaction (qPCR) film. The network structure of CMC immobilized and aligned Au@AgNRs through coordination of carboxyl groups with surface Ag atoms to provide intensive and stable 'hot spots', and the qPCR bilayer film performed as carrier and barrier to protect Au@AgNRs from oxidation, humidity and optical damage and improved the robustness and stability. The Au@AgNRs/CMC/qPCR film was used for in-situ extraction and SERS detection of thiabendazole on nectarine (0.24 ppm) and lemon (0.27 ppm) with low detection of limits. Furthermore, it retained 98.6% SERS performance after storage for 90 days under ambient conditions, revealing the great potential in promoting the commercialization of the SERS technique for sensitive contaminants sensing with simple fabrication procedures, homogeneity, reproducibility and long-term stability.

RESUMO

Thiabendazole, a benzimidazole fungicide, is widely used to prevent yield loss in agricultural land by inhibiting plant diseases derived from fungi. As thiabendazole has a stable benzimidazole ring structure, it remains in the environment for an extended period, and its toxic effects on non-target organisms have been reported, indicating the possibility that it could threaten public health. However, little research has been conducted to elucidate the comprehensive mechanisms of its developmental toxicity. Therefore, we used zebrafish, a representative toxicological model that can predict toxicity in aquatic organisms and mammals, to demonstrate the developmental toxicity of thiabendazole. Various morphological malformations were observed, including decreased body length, eye size, and increased heart and yolk sac edema. Apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and inflammatory response were also triggered by thiabendazole exposure in zebrafish larvae. Furthermore, PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways important for appropriate organogenesis were significantly changed by thiabendazole. These results led to toxicity in various organs and a reduction in the expression of related genes, including cardiovascular toxicity, neurotoxicity, and hepatic and pancreatic toxicity, which were detected in flk1:eGFP, olig2:dsRED, and L-fabp:dsRed;elastase:GFP transgenic zebrafish models, respectively. Overall, this study partly determined the developmental toxicity of thiabendazole in zebrafish and provided evidence of the environmental hazards of this fungicide.
