Abstract

Background: Deltamethrin is a class II synthetic pyrethroid pesticide extensively used to control pests and vectors in the agriculture sector and health management programme. Due to excessive applications of this pesticide in the environment, it is harming many organisms other than the target organisms. Higher organisms like human beings are also affected by this pesticide because it instigates the impairment of the central nervous system and also distresses the immune system of vertebrates.

Methods: In the current research study, MHC I and MHC II molecules of human origin have been targeted to evaluate the interaction with deltamethrin molecules by the AutoDock tool to establish the immunomodulatory effect. MHC I receptor molecule is presented on every nucleated cell, and MHC II receptors are located specifically on cell surfaces of antigen-presenting cells. These receptors play a role in cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. The binding affinity of deltamethrin with MHC receptors can affect the immune response, specifically the acquired immunity of an individual.

Results: Findings of the current research study support that deltamethrin causes the suppression of the immune system by interaction with MHC I and MHC II molecules and may cause the organisms to be more prone towards antigen and disease development.

Conclusion: The autoDock tool can be utilized to analyse other pesticides’ effects on the immune system and in the drug development process to minimize the toxic effects due to several types of pesticides.
