The kinetics of accumulation and elimination of lethal doses of [14C]carbofuran in the hemolymph of the house fly suggest a one-compartment open model. Carbofuran in the hemolymph appeared to be in equilibrium with that in the tissues very soon after treatment.Following topical application of carbofuran, the rate of onset of symptoms of poisoning was correlated with the amount of carbofuran in the hemolymph, and the onset of convulsions only occurred after the concentration of carbofuran in the hemolymph reached μM levels. This value correlated well with neurobioassays of known concentrations of carbofuran perfused in saline onto the isolated thoracic ganglion.Following topical doses, carbofuran concentration in the hemolymph reached a peak within an hour and then gradually declined. At an LD60 dose, the initial decline in carbofuran concentration in the hemolymph over time was significantly slower than the decline after an LD10 dose, suggesting saturation kinetics.Hemolymph was collected from house flies for up to 3 hr following topical application of toxic amounts of carbofuran. Thereafter, hemolymph volume decreased and blood samples could not be collected. Curiously, hemolymph samples could be collected for 5 hr from house flies that were injected with toxic doses of carbofuran.  相似文献

Four N,N′-thiodicarbamate derivatives of carbofuran induced uncoupled convulsions with similar latencies following topical application to the cuticle of tethered SNAIDM house flies, despite considerable differences in their lipophilic properties. There was a small but statistically significant delay in the latency to response to the derivatives compared to carbofuran, but when perfused directly on the exposed thoracic ganglia to assess intrinsic activity, carbofuran acted up to 4.4 times faster than the derivative. It is suggested that the NS bond of the derivatives is cleaved soon after application to the house fly cuticle and carbofuran is released from each derivative in sufficient quantities to accumulate toxic concentrations in the central nervous system at similar rates.  相似文献

Solutions of tetramethrin, RU 11679, or cismethrin caused uncoupled convulsions in 30–40 min in exposed thoracic ganglia from SNAIDM house flies at concentrations down to 10?10M: whereas these same compounds at 10?6M concentrations failed to produce poisoning symptoms when perfused onto the exposed ganglia of the kdr strain of house fly. The pyrethroid analogs examined had a negative temperature coefficient of action on the exposed thoracic ganglia from SNAIDM flies. DDT and GH-74 possessed positive temperature coefficients of action on the exposed thoracic ganglion of susceptible house flies. It is concluded that the central nervous system of the kdr strain of house fly is resistant to pyrethroid action; furthermore, the resistance appears to be widespread throughout the house fly nervous system, involving sensory, motor, and central neural elements.  相似文献

The insecticidal properties of 1-(7-ethoxygeranyl)-2-methylbenzimidazole (EGMB) were investigated on larval and adult house flies. Unsynergised EGMB gave topical LD50 values of 0.53 μg per female fly on NAIDM strain house flies. When flies were pretreated with 5.2 μg piperonyl butoxide, susceptibility was increased (LD50 0.12 μg per female fly). House fly larvae were less susceptible to EGMB (LD50 2.2 μg). Poisoning with EGMB resulted in a rapid reduction in locomotor activity of both larval and adult house flies. This reduction in locomotion was progressive and led to complete paralysis. Various parameters of larval nervous system function were investigated in larvae during these early phases of poisoning. As early as 15 min after dosing larvae with LD95 doses of EGMB, sensory nerves were less responsive. Over a somewhat longer time (2–4 h), neurally evoked contractures were adversely affected by EGMB. In some cases, this effect appeared to be due to reduced postsynaptic potential amplitude; in other instances, it appeared to be due to an effect independent of neuromuscular transmission. The close temporal correlation between behavioural and electrophysiological observations suggests that the nervous and muscular systems are important sites of action of EGMB.  相似文献

The insecticidal activity of lindane analogs, in which some chlorine atoms were replaced by other groups susceptible to microsomal oxidative metabolism, was determined against mosquitos, house flies, and German cockroaches. When tested with a synergist, piperonyl butoxide, one of the methylthio analogs was as active as lindane, whereas several others were also highly active. By examining the ratio of synergized and unsynergized LD50 values (synergistic ratio value), the highly insecticidal methylthio, methoxy, and methyl analogs appear to undergo metabolic detoxication effectively in house flies. By means of in vitro metabolism experiments using microsomal fraction from house fly abdomen, the methoxy, ethoxy, and methylthio analogs were shown to be metabolized rapidly at similar rates. The synergized insecticidal activities of these compounds against various insect species relate linearly with each other, suggesting that the oxidative degradation is inhibited by the synergist to a similar extent and that the transport process to the site of action is not a limiting factor in determining the relative insecticidal activity.  相似文献

The average heartbeat rate of female adult Musca domestica was near 250 beats/min in vivo at 23°C. However, standard deviation values ranged from ±35 to ±60 depending on the individual house fly. Heartbeat rates in tethered house flies fluctuated between cessation to over 300 beats/min. The heartbeat rate was temperature dependent with a Q10 of 2.3. Either a bite by the Lynx spider, Peucetia vividans (Hentz), or severing the abdomen from the thorax caused the heartbeat to become extremely steady at near 300 beats/min which gradually decreased over several minutes.Application of lethal doses of Monitor or Lindane to the house fly caused thoracic temperature to increase by at most 3°C in conjunction with increased convulsive activity and increased average heartbeat rate. In late stages of poisoning, the heartbeat was relatively uniform indicating a disruption in cardioregulatory nervous activity. Response of the house fly to carbofuran or its N-thiomethyl analog was similar to that of Monitor and Lindane except in late stages of poisoning where the heartbeat continued to exhibit large variations in average rate.  相似文献

Specific binding of [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([35S]TBPS) to a house fly thorax-plus-abdomen membrane preparation at 20°C is characterized by apparent Kd and Bmax values of 0.21 μM and 2.5 pmol/mg protein, respectively, an association half-time of 13 min at 2 nM, and a biphasic dissociation curve showing half-times of 15 and 35 min. Specific binding is reduced at 37°C apparently due to instability of the receptor-ligand complex and at 0°C as the result of very slow association. [35S]TBPS binding is diminished by detergents, stimulated by GABA at low ligand concentration, and inhibited by picrotoxinin and certain barbiturates, benzodiazepines, bicyclophosphorus compounds, and polychlorocycloalkane insecticides. The potency of TBPS and three related phosphorothionates in displacing [35S]TBPS parallels their toxicity on injection into house flies; the corresponding bicyclophosphates are less active in both assays. Cyclodienes of low toxicity are generally poor inhibitors of radioligand binding. α-Endosulfan and syn-12-hydroxyendrin are more potent than their β and anti isomers, respectively, both as inhibitors of TBPS binding and as toxicants. Analysis of Scatchard plots indicates that picrotoxinin and heptachlor epoxide are non-competitive inhibitors of [35S]TBPS binding. The [35S]TBPS binding site of the house fly membrane preparation differs from that extensively studied in mammalian brain with respect to their responses to many insecticides and GABAergic agents.  相似文献

The metabolism of a selectively toxic derivative of carbofuran, 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuranyl-7 N-dimethoxyphosphinothioyl N-methylcarbamate (PSC), was examined in the house fly, rat, and mouse. In house flies, PSC is metabolized mainly to carbofuran and related oxidation products containing the intact N-methylcarbamyl ester moiety. Degradation to phenolic products was the principal route of metabolism in rodents. The results indicate that the selective toxicity of PSC between insects and mammals is attributable to differing pathways of metabolism.  相似文献

The toxicity of spinosad, a new insecticide derived from the bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa, was evaluated against susceptible and resistant strains of house fly (Musca domestica L.). Spinosad was highly toxic to house flies based on 72-h LD50 values and the symptoms of poisoning were consistent with a neurotoxic mechanism of action. Spinosad was relatively slow acting, with the maximum toxicity noted at 72 h. Piperonyl butoxide and S,S,S,-tribu-tylphosphorotrithioate synergized the toxicity of spinosad by 3·0- and 1·8-fold, respectively, while diethyl maleate had no significant effect. These results suggest that there is a small degree of monooxygenase-mediated spinosad detoxification in house flies, while hydrolases may be only minimally important and glutathione transferases may have no role. There were no substantial levels of cross-resistance detected, except in the LPR strain where a low 4·3-fold cross-resistance was observed. The cyclodiene-resistant OCR strain was 2·7-fold more sensitive to spinosad than the susceptible strain (CS). These results suggest that cross-resistance may not be a limiting factor for the use of spinosad against house flies. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献

The metabolism of O,S-dimethyl propionyl- and hexanoylphosphoramidothioate was investigated in the white mouse and house flies. Compared to the hexanoylphosphoramidothioate, the propionyl analog is approximately 35-fold more toxic to house flies and is 10-fold less toxic to mice. On a percentage basis, substantially larger amounts of methamidophos were detected in house flies treated topically with the propionylphosphoramidothioate than in flies treated with the hexanoyl derivative. The reverse was evident in the case of the mouse where much larger amounts of methamidophos were formed after oral treatment with the hexanoylphosphoramidothioate. Minor amounts of other metabolic products also were detected, including an unknown from the hexanoylphosphoramidothioate. Metabolism of the S-methyl moiety to carbon dioxide appeared to be a major pathway for metabolic degradation of both compounds in both the white mouse and house fly. The difference in toxicity of the two acylphosphoramidothioates to the mouse and house fly is attributed to difference in the amounts of methamidophos formed in the animals.  相似文献

The metabolism of carbosulfan, 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-yl (di-n-butylaminothio)-methylcarbamate, was studied in the rat and house fly. Carbosulfan was metabolized via at least two major pathways in the rat, by initial oxidation of the sulfur atom and by NS bond cleavage. The principal rat metabolites were the conjugated keto-phenol from the ring-labeled carbo-sulfan, carbon dioxide from the carbonyl-labeled carbosulfan, and dibutylamine from the dibutylamino-labeled carbosulfan. In house flies, carbosulfan was converted primarily into carbofuran and related oxidation products. The lower mammalian toxicity of carbosulfan compared to its insecticidal activity is explained on the basis of differences in routes and rates of metabolism of carbosulfan in mammals and insects.  相似文献

Biodegradability of lindane analogs using house fly whole body, microsomes, and microsome supernatant fraction was examined. It decreased in the order of alkoxy ～ methylthio > methyl analogs > lindane in the whole body experiments, as well as with microsomes in the presence of NADPH. With the supernatant in the presence of glutathione, a different trend was observed. The synergistic effects of piperonyl butoxide when used together with lindane analogs were mostly explained in terms of the inhibition of the microsomal metabolism. Piperonyl butoxide was also shown to inhibit the penetration of compounds into the fly body and to make the central nervous system of the American cockroach less sensitive to the action of insecticides causing after and repetitive discharges. It was observed that the value of the percentage of metabolic disappearance of insecticides after a certain period decreases as the dose level initially applied in the whole body experiments increases. The synergistic ratio parallels the percentage of disappearance value after the insecticidal activity test period when a dose corresponding to the unsynergized LD50 is initially applied. When quantitative comparisons are required for biodegradability of insecticides using house flies as the test insects, it should be on the basis of direct metabolism experiments using a fixed dose throughout the series of insecticides, but not on the basis of the synergistic ratio.  相似文献

Resistance to insecticides remains a major problem for the successful control of the horn fly, Haematobia irritans irritans (L.), one of the most important pests of cattle in many countries including the United States. The organophosphate (OP) insecticide diazinon has been used to control pyrethroid-resistant populations of the horn fly. There are only a few reported cases of horn fly resistance to diazinon in the United States and Mexico. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) has been used successfully as a synergist of pyrethroid insecticides to control horn flies. PBO-synergized diazinon products are also available for horn fly control in the United States, although PBO is known to inhibit the bio-activation of certain OP insecticides including diazinon. A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of PBO on diazinon toxicity to horn flies using a filter paper bioassay technique. These bioassays in both the susceptible and diazinon-resistant horn fly strains revealed a biphasic effect of PBO on diazinon toxicity to horn flies. PBO inhibited diazinon toxicity when the PBO concentration used was high (5%), and no effect was observed when PBO concentration was intermediate (2%). However, at low concentrations (1% and lower), PBO significantly synergized diazinon toxicity. We demonstrated that enhanced esterase activity was associated with survivability of horn flies exposed to diazinon alone. PBO has been shown to inhibit esterase activity in other insect species. However, results of biochemical assays with esterases from this study suggest that PBO did not have significant effect on the overall esterase activity in the horn fly. The observed synergistic effect of PBO at lower concentrations on diazinon toxicity to horn flies could not be explained by reduced esterase activity due to PBO inhibition. It is likely that PBO synergized diazinon toxicity at lower concentrations by facilitating penetration of diazinon through the cuticle and/or inhibiting the oxidative detoxification of diazinon, and reduced diazinon toxicity at high PBO concentration by inhibiting the bio-activation of diazinon.  相似文献

Insecticides have been extensively used for house fly control in China, with dichlorvos and deltamethrin being widely used. Knowledge about the current status of insecticide resistance and the underlying genetic changes is crucial for developing effective fly control strategies. The susceptibility to dichlorvos and deltamethrin, and the frequencies of genetic mutations involved in insecticide resistance were studied in five field populations of the house fly collected across China. Bioassay results show that flies exhibit 14- to 28-fold resistance to dichlorvos and 41- to 94-fold resistance to deltamethrin, indicating that dichlorvos and deltamethrin resistance are common in house fly populations in China. Molecular analysis reveals that flies from the five various locations carry resistance alleles at multiple loci and have diverse allelic types, different relative frequencies and combinations of each allele. Four non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (i.e. V260L, G342A/V, F407Y) in acetylcholinesterase (Ace) and two mutations (W251L/S) in a carboxylesterase (MdαE7) were commonly present in the field house flies. The L1014H rather than L1014F mutation in the voltage sensitive sodium channel gene (Vssc) was widely distributed in Chinese house flies. CYP6D1v1, which confers pyrethroid resistance, was found in all the five tested populations in China, although its frequency in house fly from Shandong province was very low. Our results suggest that resistance monitoring and management of house flies should be customized for a given location.  相似文献

We investigated the molecular basis of resistance in a strain of house fly (BJD) from Beijing, China. This strain showed 567-fold resistance to commonly used deltamethrin. Flies were 64-fold resistant to deltamethrin synergized by piperonyl butoxide (PBO). The 5′-flanking sequence of the cytochrome P450 gene CYP6D1 in BJD strain had a 15-bp insert as in the LPR strain. Two mutations (kdr, super-kdr) in the voltage sensitive sodium channel (VSSC) were also detected in the BJD strain. Our results showed that a combination of resistance alleles for CYP6D1 and VSSC existed in deltamethrin resistant house flies in China.  相似文献

Of six juvenile hormone analogs of the alkyl 3,7,11-trimethyl-2,4-dodecadienate type, only the isopropyl ester was strongly morphogenic in the house fly, Musca domestica L. In vitro assays revealed that house fly microsomes contain B-esterases as well as oxidases which metabolize such analogs. However, these esterases did not hydrolyze the isopropyl ester, ZR-515. Enzymes prepared from larvae, pupae, and adults were all active and there was evidence that in the late larval stage the esterase activity was cyclic, showing a minimum in the early third instar and a maximum a few hours later. When microsomes from two susceptible and two resistant house fly strains were compared for metabolic activity against the juvenile hormone analogs, those from the resistant strains were 1.3 to 20 × higher in oxidase activity but there was no difference in esterase activity. The oxidative metabolism of two analogs ZR-515 and 512 was greatly enhanced when the flies were induced with phenobarbital but there was no enhancement in metabolism of three of the remaining analogs and only a slight enhancement of a fourth. It is concluded that the insecticidal action of ZR-515 is largely due to its stability in the presence of the house fly esterases.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The housefly, Musca domestica L., and stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) are cosmopolitan pests of both farm and home environments. Houseflies have been shown to be resistant to a variety of insecticides, and new chemistries are slow to emerge on the market. Toxicities of selected semiochemicals with molecular structures indicative of insecticidal activity were determined against adults from an insecticide‐susceptible laboratory strain of houseflies. The three most active semiochemicals were also evaluated against recently colonized housefly and stable fly strains. RESULTS: Nineteen semiochemicals classified as aliphatic alcohols, terpenoids, ketones and carboxylic esters showed toxicity to houseflies and stable flies. Rosalva (LC50 = 25.98 µg cm?2) followed by geranyl acetone and citronellol (LC50 = 49.97 and 50.02 µg cm?2) were identified as the most toxic compounds to houseflies. Permethrin was up to 144‐fold more toxic than rosalva on the susceptible strain. However, it was only 35‐fold more toxic to the insecticide‐tolerant field strain. The compounds generated high toxicity to stable flies, with LC50 values ranging from 16.30 to 40.41 µg cm?2. CONCLUSION: Quantification of LC50 values of rosalva, citronellol and geranyl acetone against susceptible housefly and field‐collected housefly and stable fly strains showed that semiochemicals could serve as potent insecticides for fly control programs.

The metabolism of the chiral isomers of 35S-labeled fonofos was examined in the house fly and white mouse. Metabolism of the chiral isomers of fonofos oxon also was investigated in the mouse. Little difference in either the rate of penetration or pattern of metabolism was observed between house flies treated with the (R)P and (S)P enantiomers of fonofos. At the higher dosage of 8 mg/kg the less toxic (S)P enantiomer was degraded in mice and eliminated in significantly larger amounts than (R)P-fonofos. However, at the sublethal dosage of 4 mg/kg little difference in degradation and total elimination was observed between the two isomers although the excretion rate appeared to be faster initially with the less toxic enantiomer. Overall, metabolism and excretion of the chiral isomers of both fonofos and fonofos oxon took place more rapidly and to a greater extent with the less toxic enantiomer.  相似文献

The toxicity of a promising new insecticide, imidacloprid, was evaluated against several susceptible and resistant strains of German cockroach and house fly. Imidacloprid rapidly immobilized German cockroaches followed by a period of about 72 h during which some cockroaches recovered. After 72 h there was no further recovery. Imidacloprid-treated houseflies were immobilized more slowly than treated cockroaches, with the maximum effect observed after 72 h, and there was no recovery. Based upon 72-h LD50 values imidacloprid was moderately toxic to German cockroaches (LD50 values were 6–8 ng mg-1) and had only low toxicity to house flies (LD50 140 ng mg-1). Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) blocked the observed recovery in German cockroaches. PBO also greatly enhanced the 72-h LD50 of imidacloprid from 43- to 59-fold in cockroaches and 86-fold in house flies. Two strains of German cockroach (Baygon-R and Pyr-R) showed >4-fold cross-resistance to imidacloprid. This cross-resistance could not be suppressed by PBO, suggesting that P450 monooxygenase-mediated detoxication is not responsible for this cross-resistance. Variation in the level of synergism observed with PBO (between strains) suggests the ‘basal’ level of monooxygenase-mediated detoxication of imidacloprid is quite variable between strains of German cockroach. The AVER and LPR strains of house fly showed significant cross-resistance to imidacloprid. PBO reduced the level of cross-resistance in AVER from >4·2-fold to 0·5-fold (i.e. the AVER strain LD50 was half that of the susceptible strain when both were treated with PBO), but PBO did not suppress the cross-resistance in LPR. These data suggest monooxygenases are the mechanism responsible for cross-resistance to imidacloprid in AVER, but not in the LPR strain. © of SCI.  相似文献

The toxicity of ryanodine ( 1 ) and 9,21-didehydroryanodine ( 2 ) (the principal active ingredients of the botanical insecticide ryania) to adult female house flies (Musca domestica L.) is attributable to binding to the ryanodine receptor (ryr) and thereby disrupting the Ca2+-release channel. These ryanoids, assayed in house flies with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) to suppress cytochrome P450-dependent detoxification, give injected KD50 values of 0·07–0·11 μg g-1, injected LD50 values of 0·39–0·45 μg g-1 and topical LD50 values of 12– 50 μg g-1. They inhibit the [3H]ryanodine binding site of house fly and rabbit muscle with IC50 values of 3–10 nM . This study examines the effect of structure on potency, with 15 variants of the cyclohexane substituents, two 4,6-cyclic boron and two methylated derivatives, and four modifications of the isopropyl and ester substituents. The most effective compound examined was 10-deoxy- 2 ( 3 ) which was more potent than 2 by 2–4-fold on injection and 29-fold applied topically following PBO (LD50 0·41 μg g-1). Additional high-potency compounds were 10-oxo- 1 and the cyclohexane variants with lactam, 21-nor-9-oxo and 21-nor-10-deoxy substituents. Other modifications usually reduced toxicity. The injected knockdown potency of the ester ryanoids was generally related to their effectiveness in competing with [3H]ryanodine at the ryr of rabbit skeletal muscle. Two non-ester ryanoids, ryanodol and 9,21-didehydroryanodol, were found to be more toxic than predicted from their potency at the ryr and may therefore act in a different manner such as at a K+ channel, as suggested by Usherwood and Vais. Clearly ryanoids are challenging prototypes for a potential new generation of insecticides. © 1997 SCI.  相似文献
