報(bào)告摘要

? The increment in the generation and industry applications of nanomaterials (NM) rise concerns about their potential impacts on human and environmental health. In this sense, the development of nanotoxicology with an eye towards the health of organisms and the environment is essential for the growth and use of sustainable nanotechnologies. In the recent past, several efforts have been done (i.e. the European initiative NanoReg) to intercallibrate toxicity assays in terms of animal models, preparation of NM suspensions, NM characterization and end point suitable to point NM toxicity. Also, methodological evaluations of the potential interferences of NM on the endpoints used in the assays stiil are not the norm. Some studies have estimated? that 95% and 90% of published articles that use spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods, respectively, have not considered the use of controls to assess the possible interference induced by NM. These control quality measurements should be mandatory in nanotoxicity assays as well as comparative studies of responses of different biological models in terms of their sensitity and simplicity to run the assays. Recently, the use of in silico approaches (i.e.: molecular docking, molecular dynamics) have shown their aplicability as a screening method to search molecular and biochemical targets of -mainly- organic NM. These methodologies posses the potential of helping in filling the the gap between the development of new NM and the study of their potential toxicity. Last but not least, it is critical to conduct nanotoxicity assays utilizing realistic environmental concentrations of NM in order to conduct accurate risk assessments, even though there are few reports indicating and measuring the presence of NM in the environment.
