Abstract

Pesticides commonly used in the Republic of Serbia (tebuconazole, pendimethalin, pyraclostrobin, propiconazole and famoxadone) have high stab­ility, so their potential toxicity to humans needs to be investigated. These pes­ticides are in use in the Republic of Serbia in various formulations. Their tox­icity and interactions with acetylcholinesterase were thoroughly investigated in this study using computational tools. The ADMET (adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity) study showed that all of them are efficient oral compounds, and that pendimethalin was a mutagenic compound. Glide scores ranged from –18.41 (pendimethalin) to –27.61 kJ mol-1 (famoxadone) in Mus musculus, and from –19.58 (pendimethalin) to –24.31 kJ mol-1 (propiconazole) in Homo sapiens. In addition, the experimental stability of the pesticides sol­utions in methanol was studied using the fast gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS, retention times of the studied pesticides ranged from 14.47 (pendimethalin) to 22 min (famoxadone)). They showed good stability over time, apart from pyraclostrobin which decomposed mainly into its des-methoxy derivative after 20 months. Based on the promising modelling results, pyraclostrobin and famoxadone emerge as potential candidates for further investigation in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, taking care to increase their stability.
