Özet

Background: Rabeprazole (RPZ), a widely used proton pump inhibitor, is known to have toxic effects on human beings. Objective: To evaluate the toxic effects of RPZ sodium (RPZ-Na) using plant-based eukaryotic test systems. Methods: The toxic effect of RPZ-Na (0.025-0.4 mM) was evaluated on Allium cepa, Allium sativum, and Cicer arietinum at different exposure times using CuSO4 as a reference standard. Results: RPZ-Na concentration-dependently reduced the root length of A. cepa and A. sativum, as well as the shoot and root lengths of C. arietinum. RPZ-Na at 0.1 to 0.4 µg/mL and at 48 h exposure time exerted toxic effects on the tested systems. Conclusions: RPZ-Na exerted a concentration-and time-dependent toxic effect on A. cepa, A. sativum, and C. arietinum. Therefore, it is important to take adequate precautions during its long-term use.
