Carbendazim (MBC) (methyl-2-benzimidazole carbamate) and tebuconazole (TBZ) ((RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)pentan-3-ol) are widely used in agriculture for the prevention and control of fungal diseases. Solid lipid nanoparticles and polymeric nanocapsules are carrier systems that offer advantages including changes in the release profiles of bioactive compounds and their transfer to the site of action, reduced losses due to leaching or degradation, and decreased toxicity in the environment and humans. The objective of this study was to prepare these two types of nanoparticle as carrier systems for a combination of TBZ and MBC, and then investigate the release profiles of the fungicides as well as the stabilities and cytotoxicities of the formulations. Both nanoparticle systems presented high association efficiency (>99%), indicating good interaction between the fungicides and the nanoparticles. The release profiles of MBC and TBZ were modified when the compounds were loaded in the nanoparticles, and cytotoxicity assays showed that encapsulation of the fungicides decreased their toxicity. These fungicide systems offer new options for the treatment and prevention of fungal diseases in plants.
多菌灵(MBC)(甲基-2-苯并咪唑氨基甲酸酯)和戊唑醇(TBZ)((RS)-1-(4-氯苯基)-4,4-二甲基-3-(1H-1,2,4-三唑-1-基甲基)戊-3-醇)在农业中广泛用于预防和控制真菌病害。固体脂质纳米粒和聚合物纳米囊是载体系统,具有多种优势,包括改变生物活性化合物的释放曲线及其向作用部位的转移、减少因淋溶或降解造成的损失以及降低对环境和人类的毒性。本研究的目的是制备这两种类型的纳米粒作为TBZ和MBC组合的载体系统,然后研究杀菌剂的释放曲线以及制剂的稳定性和细胞毒性。两种纳米粒系统均呈现出高结合效率(>99%),表明杀菌剂与纳米粒之间具有良好的相互作用。当化合物负载于纳米粒中时,MBC和TBZ的释放曲线发生了改变,细胞毒性试验表明,杀菌剂的包封降低了它们的毒性。这些杀菌剂系统为植物真菌病害的防治提供了新的选择。
