- Chlorpromazine (CPZ) is a well-known drug for treating psychosis, and its effects on juvenile fish were studied to assess brain enzyme activity and oxidative stress.
- Fish exposed to varying concentrations of CPZ showed increased acetylcholinesterase activity and oxidative stress markers like lipid peroxidation, while antioxidant enzymes decreased at higher doses.
- After a 7-day recovery period, some parameters returned to control levels, but others remained altered, highlighting the need for regulation in CPZ use to protect non-target organisms from ecological harm.
Carbendazim (CBZ) is a widely used, systemic, broad-spectrum benzimidazole fungicide. It is used worldwide against fungal diseases on a wide range of agricultural products and in domestic gardens. The activities of brain oxidative stress biomarkers and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in juvenile African Catfish Clarias gariepinus exposed to CBZ were investigated.

The present study investigated the oxidative stress biomarkers and hematological parameters in juvenile African Catfish (also known as Sharptooth Catfish) Clarias gariepinus exposed to ABZ for 96 h. Fish were exposed to 0 (control) 20, 40, and 60 mg/L ABZ.

Laboratory bioassay of the essential oil extracted from the grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) peel by steam distillation was carried out against the developmental stages of the yellow fever vector Aedes aegypti to evaluate its toxicity, and ovicidal and larvicidal potency. Volatile oil components isolated and characterized by coupled gas chromatography/mass spectrometry included varying levels of monoterpene aldehydes, alcohols, and esters. Test results of the essential oil showed that egg hatching was completely inhibited at 400 ppm, while further development of 1st to 2nd larval stage was inhibited at 100 ppm.
