Objective: To determine sildenafil citrate (SC) genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in the Callithrix jacchus.
Study Design: Fifteen organisms were assigned to one of three groups as follows: experimental (25 mg/kg of SC); negative control (glucose solution 5%); and positive control (3 mg/kg of cytocine arabinoside). Systemic hemodynamic changes were monitored in each animal before and after each treatment. A drop of blood was obtained before and after the treatment at 24-120 h. Smears were made and the frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes (MNE), micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCE) and polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) was counted.
Results: No significant differences in MNE, MNPCE and PCE were found in the group that received sildenafil and negative control. A significant increase in genotoxicity and cytotoxicity was observed in the positive control group. No changes were observed in systemic hemodynamic changes.
Conclusion: The macro-dose of SC lacks genotoxic, cytotoxic or systemic hemodynamic changes effects in this species.

The increasing demand for natural alternatives to synthetic fungicides has prompted research into natural products like essential oils for postharvest disease management. This study investigated the antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and genotoxic potential of essential oil mixtures derived from oregano, rosemary, and mint against Penicillium digitatum, the predominant fungal pathogen causing green mold in orange fruits.

Recently, 3-D porous architecture of the composites play a key role in cell proliferation, bone regeneration, and anticancer activities. The osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties of β-TCP allow for the complete repair of numerous bone defects. Herein, β-TCP was synthesized by wet chemical precipitation route, and their 3-D porous composites with HBO and Cu nanoparticles were prepared by the solid-state reaction method with improved mechanical and biological performances.

Titanium dioxide (TiO), a white color food additive, is widely used in bakery products, candies, chewing gums, soups, and creamers. Concerns about its potential genotoxicity have recently emerged, particularly following the European Union's ban on its usage as a food additive due to its genotoxicity potential. Conflicting in vitro and in vivo results regarding its genotoxicity highlight the need for further in-depth investigation.
