Resumen o descripción

Ametryn and metribuzin S-triazines derivatives and EPTC thiocarbamate are herbicides used extensively in Mexican agriculture, for

example in crops such as corn, sugar cane, tomato, wheat, and beans. The present study evaluated the DNA damage and cytotoxic effects

of three herbicides after metabolism by Vicia faba roots in human peripheral lymphocytes using akaline single cell gel electrophoresis.

Three parameters were scored as indicators of DNA damage: tail length, percentage of cells with DNA damage (with comet), and level

DNA damage. The lymphocytes were treated for 2 h with 0.5–5.0 lg/ml ametryn or metribuzin and 1.5–10 lg/ml EPTC. Lymphocytes

also were coincubated for 2 h with 20 ll V. faba roots extracts that had been treated for 4 h with 50–500 mg/l of the two triazines or with

the thiocarbamate herbicide or with ethanol (3600 mg/l), as positive control. The lymphocytes treated with three pesticides without in vivo

metabolic activation by V. faba root did not show significant differences in the mean values bewteen genotoxic parameters compared with

negative control. But when human cells were exposed to three herbicides after they had been metabolized the frequency of cell comet, tail

length and level DNA damage all increased. At highest concentrations of the three herbicides produced severe DNA damage compared

with S10 fraction and negative control. The linear regression analysis of the tail length values of three herbicides indicated that there was

genotoxic effect concentration-response relationship with ametryn and ametribuzin but no EPTC. The ethanol induced major increase

DNA damage compared with S10 fraction and the three pesticides. There were not effects in cell viability with treatment EPTC and metribuzin

wherther or not it had been metabolized. High concentrations of ametryn alone and after it had been metabolized decreased cell viability

compared with the negative control. The results demonstrated that the three herbicides needed to be activated by the V. faba root

metabolism to produce DNA damage in human peripheral lymphocyte. The alkaline comet technique is a rapid and sensitive assay, to

quickly evaluate DNA damage the metabolic activation of herbicide products by V. faba root in human cells in vitro.
