Detecção da citotoxicidade, genotoxicidade e mutagenicidade do inseticida fipronil no organismo teste Allium cepa

Abstract

The pesticides are an important strategy for agriculture, to obtain productivity economically viable, because they are substances used to eliminate pest organisms. Insecticides are agents which have action to combat insects, in both the adult and larval stage. The fipronil is a group composed of phenyl-pyrazole, toxicologically classified as highly toxic, and it is widely used in agricultural fields in Sao Paulo State, as well as in homes, to combat insect pests. This insecticide acts through its connection to the channel chlorine, promoting blockade in the activation of the conduct of nervous stimuli, the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a substance that controls the flow of chloride ions through the cell membrane of nerve. In small concentrations, presents an efficient action in the organism targets. This feature can also cause problems to the environment, often far to the places where it is applied. In moderate temperatures, the fipronil is stable in the environment for about a year. Studies show that this insecticide can be degraded in various metabolites, which are even more toxic than the fipronil. Relative to its persistence in the environment, the fipronil presents variations resulting from its formula, but their metabolites may be more persistent than the insecticide. Residues of fipronil can be bioacumulated in adipose tissue, indicating a potential of transference by the food chain. In the present research, it had been evaluated the toxic, cytotoxic, genotoxic and mutagenic potentials of the fipronil insecticide through bioassays with Allium cepa, whose seeds were exposed to germination in this insecticide. The results indicate that the insecticide presented no toxic and cytotoxic effects for the A. cepa species, when we compared the data resulting from the tests performed with the insecticide and with the negative control.

Os agrotóxicos constituem uma importante estratégia da agricultura, para a obtenção de uma produtividade economicamente viável, pois são substâncias utilizadas no combate de organismos indesejáveis. Os inseticidas são agentes que têm ação de combater insetos, tanto na fase adulta como larval. O fipronil é um composto do grupo fenil-pirazol, toxicologicamente classificado como altamente tóxico, amplamente utilizado em campos agrícolas do estado de São Paulo, bem como nas residências, para combater insetos pragas. A ação deste inseticida se dá pela sua ligação ao canal de cloro, promovendo o bloqueio da ativação da condução dos estímulos nervosos, pelo ácido gama-aminobutírico (GABA), uma substância que controla o fluxo de íons cloro, através da membrana da célula nervosa. Em pequenas concentrações, apresenta uma eficiente ação nos organismos alvos. Esta característica também pode causar problemas ao meio ambiente, muitas vezes, longe até dos lugares onde foi aplicado. O fipronil, em temperaturas moderadas, é estável no ambiente por cerca de um ano. Estudos mostram que esse inseticida pode ser degradado em diversos metabólitos, que são ainda mais tóxicos que ele. Quanto a sua persistência no ambiente, o fipronil apresenta variações decorrentes da sua formulação, mas os seus metabólicos podem ser mais persistentes que o próprio inseticida. Resíduos de fipronil podem ser bioacumulado no tecido adiposo, indicando uma potencialidade de transferência via cadeia trófica. No presente trabalho, foram avaliadas as potencilidades tóxicas, citotóxicas, genotóxicas e mutagênicas do inseticida fipronil, por meio de bioensaios com Allium cepa, cujas sementes foram expostas à germinação em fipronil.
