Title in Portuguese
Avaliação da toxicidade dos herbicidas trifluralina e tebutiurom utilizando ensaios mitocrondrias
Keywords in Portuguese
Herbicidas; Mitocôndria; Tebutiurom; Trifluralina
Abstract in Portuguese
Os contaminantes emergentes compreendem uma classe de substâncias que apresentam carência de dados toxicológicos, principalmente em relação aos seus efeitos danosos e aos biomarcadores de exposição, além de potencial dano ao ambiente, sendo esta uma preocupação recente da comunidade científica. Dentro dessa classe enquadram-se os praguicidas, mais especificamente os herbicidas, os quais são largamente utilizados na agricultura para prevenir o aparecimento de ervas daninhas, que interferem no rendimento e qualidade da colheita. Esses compostos apresentam potencial contaminação de solo e águas, podendo atingir, dessa forma, organismos não-alvo. Pelo fato da mitocôndria ser reconhecida como a principal organela produtora de energia celular, além de exercer papel fundamental na manutenção de inúmeras funções celulares, ela foi utilizada como modelo experimental para avaliar os efeitos dos herbicidas trifluralina e tebutiurom na faixa de concentração de 1 ?mol/L a 100 ?mol/L. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o tebutiurom não afeta a bioquímica mitocondrial em nenhuma concentração testada. Já a trifluralina, principalmente na concentração mais alta (100 ?mol/L), é capaz de interagir com a membrana mitocondrial, induzir inchamento mitocondrial, dissipar o potencial de membrana, desregular a homeostase cálcica, afetar a respiração celular e alterar os níveis de ATP. Entretanto, não é capaz de induzir estresse oxidativo na mitocôndria. Os resultados indicam possíveis mecanismos de toxicidade do herbicida em organismos não-alvo.

Evaluation of the toxicity of the herbicides trifluralin and tebuthiuron using mitochondrial assays

Abstract in English
The emerging contaminants comprise a class of substances that exhibit a lack of toxicology data, especially regarding to their harmful effects and biomarkers of exposure, besides the potential damage to the environment, which is a recent concern of the scientific community. Within this class there are the pesticides, more specifically the herbicides, which are widely used in crop production to prevent the appearance of weeds, that can damage the yield and quality of the harvest. These compounds are potential contaminants of soil and water, and may achieve non-target organisms. Because mitochondria are recognized as the main energy-producing cell organelles, and play a vital role in the maintenance of many cellular functions, they were used as an experimental model to evaluate the effects of the herbicides trifluralin and tebuthiuron in concentrations ranging from 1 ?mol/L to 100 ?mol/L. The results show that tebuthiuron does not affect the mitochondrial biochemistry in any concentration tested. Trifluralin, especially at the highest concentration (100 ?mol/L), is capable of interacting with mitochondrial membrane, inducing swelling, dissipating the membrane potential, dysregulating calcium homeostasis, impairing mitochondrial respiration and altering ATP levels. However, it isn't able to induce oxidative stress in mitochondria. These events might be involved in the mechanisms of the toxicity of trifluralin in non-target organisms
