Article Abstract
Trifloxystrobin (TFS) is one of the extensively used strobilurin fungicides, which is composed of four enantiomers and its active form is E,E-TFS. In this study, we assess the acute toxicity of four enantiomers, E,E-, E,Z-, Z,E-, and Z,Z-TFS in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos. Among the four enantiomers, only E,E-TFS was found to be acutely toxic, with an estimated LC value of 0.68 mg/L. Treatment with E,E-TFS resulted in various phenotypic changes in the embryos, including pericardial and yolk-sac edema, spine curvature, and blood pooling. And it shortened the whole body length in the treated embryos by increasing the total intersegmental vessel numbers using a Tg(fli1a:EGFP) zebrafish line. Further study using Tg(cmlc2:EGFP) zebrafish line revealed that E,E-TFS treatment was associated with cardiac malformations, a failure of heart function, and a lowered heartbeat rate at the concentration of 0.25 mg/L. Also, the differential gene expression analysis identified significant down-regulation of vmhc and cacna1c genes encoding ventricular myosin heavy chain and calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha 1C, which are crucial for heart development. These results suggest the need for regular monitoring of E,E-TFS enantiomers after field application and further research into their potential chronic effects on environmental organisms.

Immature zebrafish oocytes are highly susceptible to high temperatures, making it difficult to warm cryopreserved oocytes rapidly. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether thermosensitive channels, lipid mediators, and ferroptosis are involved in heat stress-induced injury in immature zebrafish oocytes. Oocytes were injected with inhibitors of a heat-sensitive channel (TRPV1) and multiple enzymes-cytosolic phospholipase Aα (cPLAα), cyclooxygenases (COXs), arachidonate lipoxygenase 5 (ALOX5), and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 (LPCAT2).

Cyantraniliprole is a widely used insecticide in rice that could induce cellular damage. However, the mechanism of cyantraniliprole induced cell apoptosis was not clear. The Split-Split-Plot analysis revealed that the expression of apoptosis-related genes was significantly impacted by exposure time, concentration, genotype, and their complex interactions.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the toxicity of triclosan in the Danio rerio model and mammalian cells, as well as to assess its antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against selected bacterial pathogens.
Methods: Triclosan toxicity was assessed in Danio rerio embryos in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 236: Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) Test. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro using the MTT assay on human dermal fibroblasts (BJ) and rat cardiomyoblasts (H9c2).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Myrciaria pilosa is a medicinal species traditionally used to treat inflammation, pain and infectious diseases. Essential oils extracted from medicinal plants have recently gained prominence as adjuvants in combating microbial resistance due to their antimicrobial properties and synergistic potential when combined with conventional antibiotics.
Aim Of The Study: Investigated the chemical composition, antibacterial activity, antibiofilm effects, and antibiotic-enhancing properties of Myrciaria pilosa essential oil.
