Özet: Within this study we have considered 9 triazole fungicides that are approved to be used in European Union for protecting cereals: cyproconazole, epoxiconazole, flutriafol, metconazole, paclobutrazole, tebuconazole, tetraconazole, triadimenol and triticonazole. We have summarized the few available data that support their effects on humans and used various computational tools to obtain a widely view concerning their possible harmful effects on humans. The results of our predictive study reflect that all triazole fungicides considered in this study reveal good oral bioavailability, are envisaged as being able to penetrate the blood brain barrier and to interact with P-glycoprotein and with hepatic cytochromes. The predictions concerning the toxicological endpoints for the investigated triazole fungicides reveal that they. reflect potential of skin sensitization, of blockage of the hERG K+ channels and of endocrine disruption, that they have not mutagenic potential and their carcinogenic potential is not clear. Epoxiconazole and triadimenol are predicted to have the highest potentials of producing numerous harmful effects on humans and their use should be avoided or limited.
