- Abstract
The teratogenicity of the pesticide nereistoxin (NTX) and its derivative thiocyclam (THI) towards aquatic life was dramatically constrained by a synthetic nanoreceptor, cucurbit[7]uril, through selective encapsulation of the pesticides ( KCB[7]-NTX of 3.24(±0.31)×106 m−1 and KCB[7]-THI of 7.46(±0.10)×105 m−1), as evidenced by the rate of hatchability, morphology development, and tyrosinase activity of zebrafish larvae incubated with the pesticides (3-300 μ m) in the absence and in the presence of 300 μ m cucurbit[7]uril, demonstrating the significant potential of the nanoreceptor in managing ecological pollution of these pesticides.
