The low mixed-function oxidase activity of house fly microsomes has been associated with low cytochrome P-450 content and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity. The microsomal cytochrome P-450 content and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity could be decreased by the addition of catechol and increased by the addition of cyanide to the homogenates. Similar results were obtained with rat liver microsomes treated with tyrosinase and catechol. During the inactivation of rat liver microsomal enzymes by tyrosinase and catechol, crosslinking of microsomal proteins occurred. These results suggest that the instability of house fly microsomal mixed-function oxidase may be due in part to the action of contaminating tyrosinase on endogenous substrates.  相似文献

Several pesticide synergists known to be mixed-function oxidase inhibitors were found to inhibit the in vitro metabolism of diazinon by mouse liver microsomes. Piperonyl butoxide and NIA 16824 (O-isobutyl-O-propargyl phenylphosphonate) inhibit all oxidative reactions of diazinon to the same extent. In contrast, 1-(2-isopropylphenyl)imidazole selectively inhibits oxidative dearylation and thiophosphate to phosphate conversion without significant effect on ring side chain hydroxylation. This selectivity suggests that two different mechanisms of oxidative detoxification may be operating, mechanisms which may involve either two cytochrome P-450s or two different binding sites on the same cytochrome.  相似文献

Female adult American cockroaches, Periplaneta americana L., showed definite age-dependent changes in levels of activity of the microsomal mixed-function oxidases. Cytochrome P-450 levels, EPN-detoxication, and p-nitroanisole O-demethylation activities were very low in young adult insects but increased steadily reaching a natural peak at about 100 days in fat body and at about 90 days in midgut and hindgut. The activities then declined rapidly reaching levels of young insects at about 130 to 140 days of age. NADPH-neotetrazolium-reductase activity was high in young insects, declined later in adult life, and returned to a peak at about 100 days.Injections of chlorcyclizine, a known microsomal enzyme inducer, significantly increased levels of cytochrome P-450, EPN-detoxication, p-nitroanisole O-demethylation, and NADPH-NT-reductase activities in young cockroaches. The drug injections were effective, however, only before the natural activity peak was reached. Beyond this point the injections had no inductive effect indicating that the microsomal oxidases in this insect are uninducible when normal enzyme levels are falling.NADPH-NT-reductase activity in male cockroaches, while being somewhat higher than in females, showed a similar age-dependent curve with the peak occurring at about 120 days.Age-dependent carbaryl resistance in male and female insects tended to follow levels of the microsomal oxidase activities. Fifty to 60-day-old insects, however, tended to be more resistant to the insecticide than microsomal enzyme levels would indicate.RNA levels of normal female insects showed age-dependent curves similar to those of the microsomal enzyme activities, being low in young adults and reaching a peak at about 100 days. Chlorcyclizine injections had little or no effect on total microsomal RNA levels.  相似文献

The genetics and biochemistry of oxidative resistance to diazinon were investigated in a diazinon-resistant strain of the house fly, Musca domestica L. The resistant strain was crossed with a multimarker susceptible strain and substrains containing portions of the resistant strain genome were prepared. Resistance, microsomal oxidase, and cytochrome P-450 spectral characteristics were then compared in the different strains. The major gene for resistance to diazinon is semidominant and is located on chromosome II, 13 crossing over units from the recessive mutant stubby wing. Additional resistance genes occur on chromosome II and on other chromosomes as well. Resistance to diazinon was introduced into a susceptible mutant-marked strain via genetic crossing over. Increases in parathion oxidase, total and P-450-specific N- and O-demethylase activity, and resistant strain type I binding spectrum were introduced along with resistance, indicating genes controlling these parameters and resistance are either identical or closely linked. No increase in activity of cytochrome P-450 itself was introduced into the mutant strain. Additional genes controlling the amount of cytochrome P-450 and several spectral changes characteristic of the resistant strains are apparently controlled by genes located at different loci on chromosome II. Resistance factors on other chromosomes are also present, but were not characterized.  相似文献

Notable differences were found among six species of wild-caught birds in the levels of cytochrome P-450, cytochrome b5, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and NADH-cytochrome c reductase. Ethyl isocyanide difference spectra showed significant variations among the species in peak height and in the ratios of the 430455-nm peaks. Substantial aldrin epoxidase activity was found in all species, and the amounts of dieldrin produced compared favorably with pigeon and rat liver microsomes. Higher content of cytochrome P-450 was not always accompanied by a similar rise in specific catalytic activity. Thus, no correlation could be established between these two parameters. Aldrin epoxidase activity with NADH as the sole electron donor was 25–49% as effective as with the NADPH-generating system. Addition of both NADH and NADPH-generating systems to the incubation mixture produced a synergistic effect with liver microsomes of two species but not with two other species. DDE and polychlorinated biphenyls residues were found in the heart tissue of all species examined, and this might indicate a possible inductive effect on the microsomal mixed-function oxidase system by environmental contaminants.  相似文献

Induction of the microsomal oxidase system by dietary phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone was examined in three blowflies, Phormia regina (Mg.), Lucilia illustris (Mg.), and Eucalliphora lilica (Walk.). Responses were similar in adults and larvae of all species. Phenobarbital increased cytochrome P-450 levels up to 9-fold and aldrin epoxidase up to 138-fold. Increases in cytochrome P-450 and aldrin epoxidase caused by β-naphthoflavone were minor relative to those produced by phenobarbital. In toxicity experiments with carbaryl and propoxur tolerance was associated with the amount of microsomal oxidase activity. Using piperonyl butoxide to synergize carbaryl and propoxur there was no clear indication for the use of either the synergist ratio or synergist difference as an indicator of microsomal oxidase activity.  相似文献

In the Japanese quail, cytochrome P-450, A- and B-esterase, amidase, and glutathione S-aryl transferase were assayed in postmitochondrial centrifugal fractions, in microsomes, and supernatant fractions of liver, lungs, kidneys, and testes. Liver microsomes contained the highest A-esterase activity and P-450 levels. B-esterase was more generally distributed and higher in the microsomal tissue fractions. Microsomal amidase activity was highest in quail lung and kidney, and lowest in the liver (per mg protein). Very little difference in glutathione S-aryl transferase activity was noted among the tissues assayed. In vitro metabolism of carbaryl, phosphamidon, and chlorotoluron by the various centrifugal fractions revealed that the production of 1-naphthyl-N-hydroxymethylcarbamate and 1-naphthol, the major metabolites, was greatest in the postmitochondrial fraction of the liver. The major carbaryl metabolite in all other quail tissue fractions was 1-naphthol. Phosphamidon metabolism in postmitochondrial preparations of quail liver was higher than in the supernatant and microsomes. Chlorotoluron metabolism occurred only in the postmitochondrial fractions of quail liver. The major products were the oxidative metabolites, N-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)-N′-methylurea and N-(3-chloro-4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-N′-methylurea.  相似文献

Studies were conducted to assess the contribution of the hepatic microsomal mixed function oxidase system to a 7.2-fold difference in susceptibility to the lethal effects of endrin between endrin-resistant and -susceptible pine voles, Microtus pinetorum. Evaluations of microsomal enzyme systems were conducted for basal and endrin-treated pine voles of both strains. The microsomal activity of ICR white mice was investigated to provide a species comparison. Maximal microsomal mixed function oxidase activities were determined in in vitro incubations for the model substrates ethylmorphine, aniline, and benzo(a)pyrene. Vmax values were estimated for the rate of disappearance of benzo(a)pyrene in in vitro incubations. No significant strain differences in basal microsomal enzyme activity were found for the model substrates investigated, although activity was invariably higher in the resistant strain. The concentration of cytochrome P-450 was significantly higher in the resistant vole though actually less than 20% different. The occurrence of significant strain differences in the levels of microsomal enzyme activity induced by endrin were rare. Significant endrin treatment effects on the levels of microsomal enzyme activity for the pine vole were observed but the degree and direction of change depended on the substrate used. A marked species difference in microsomal mixed function oxidase activity was noted between pine voles and white mice. This was particularly evident for endrin-treated animals. The microsomal activity of endrin-treated white mice was greatly induced relative to basal levels. The degree of induction depended on the substrate used. The small strain differences in microsomal enzyme activity for the systems investigated were judged to be insufficient to explain the strain difference in susceptibility to endrin.  相似文献

The cytochrome P-450-dependent microsomal and mitochondrial ecdysone 20-monooxygenase systems convert ecdysone into 20-hydroxyecdysone. The microsomal fraction of fat bodies of zero h wandering stage fleshfly larvae (Neobellieria bullata; Diptera: Sarcophagidae) has a high ecdysone 20- monooxygenase activity. The effects of cytochrome P-450 inhibitors were investigated in vitro on microsomal ecdysone 20-monooxygenase. Metyrapone, fenarimol and certain imidazole derivatives (KK-42, KK-110, KK-135 and PIM) are strong inhibitors. The IC50 value of KK-110, which is the strongest inhibitor, is 2 × 10?7 M. A triazolyl and two cyclopropylamine derivatives have low activity. The activities of different NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductase inhibitors were also assessed; diquat dibromide is a moderate inhibitor of microsomal ecdysone 20-monooxygenase, while paraquat dichloride has no activity. In-vivo experiments with cytochrome P-450 inducers and inhibitors gave the following results: (a) fenarimol, FI-121, precocene-2 caused “permanent” first-instar larvae; (b) barbital, phenobarbital and their sodium salts caused significant delay in larval development; (c) PIM, PTM, metyrapone, KK-42, KK-135, J-2710, RH 5849 and colchicine caused moulting disturbances; (d) J-2710, PIM, PTM, KK-42, KK-135, RH 5849 and colchicine caused lethal spiracle and mandible malformation; (e) KK-110, fenarimol, barbital and phenobarbital caused precocious pupariation.  相似文献

Pregnancy-related changes in oxidative metabolism of several xenobiotics including pesticides were examined in the hepatic microsomes of CD1 mice. The effect of pregnancy on hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450-catalyzed substrate oxidation was found to be dependent upon the type of reaction examined. Not all substrates undergoing the same reaction showed identical changes during pregnancy. Those enzyme activities which exhibited a decline in specific activity during pregnancy generally exhibited no change in total hepatic capacity. Enzymes posting no change in specific activity throughout gestation generally showed large increases in total hepatic activity. Phorate S-oxidation was catalyzed by both microsomal flavin-containing monooxygenase (MFMO) and cytochrome P-450. Moreover, there was no pregnancy-related change in either MFMO or total enzymatic (MFMO plus cytochrome P-450) phorate S-oxidation.  相似文献

Cytochrome P-450, A- and B-esterase, amidase, and glutathione S-aryl transferase were assayed in the postmitochondrial centrifugal fraction, microsomes, and supernatant of rat liver, lungs, kidneys, and testes. Liver microsomes contained the highest P-450 levels and A-esterase activity. B-esterase activity was more generally distributed and higher in the microsomal tissue fractions. Microsomal amidase activity was highest in rat lung and lowest in the liver (per mg protein). Glutathione S-aryl transferase activity was highest in the liver. The in vitro metabolism of carbaryl, phosphamidon, and chlorotoluron by the various centrifugal fractions revealed many differences. Carbaryl metabolism was greater in the liver microsomal fractions than in any other preparation. 1-Naphthol was the major metabolite in all tissue fractions. Although very little metabolism of phosphamidon occurred in the rat, metabolism in the rat liver postmitochondrial fraction was slightly higher with respect to the production of metabolites than in the supernatant and microsomes combined. Chlorotoluron was not metabolized by any of the tissue fractions of the rat. At least a low level of activity toward some compounds was observed in all tissues, but this study confirmed that the liver was the most active metabolizing tissue as well as having the highest levels of enzymatic activity usually associated with pesticide metabolism.  相似文献

The mechanisms responsible for > 6000-fold permethrin resistance in a pyrethroid-selected strain of house fly, Learn-PyR, were investigated. Through electrophysiological, in vitro metabolism, in vivo penetration and synergism studies it was demonstrated that the resistance mechanisms consisted of enhanced metabolic detoxification via the mixed-function oxidase (MFO) system, target-site insensitivity and decreased cuticular penetration. The major resistance mechanism was the MFO-mediated detoxification. The elevated MFO activity was correlated with higher levels of cytochrome P-450, cytochrome b5 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity. The kinetics of the latter showed similar Km but greater Vmax values in the Learn-PyR than in the susceptible strain, suggesting that the elevated activity was due to an altered amount, but not an altered form, of the enzyme. The Learn-PyR strain showed widely varying levels of resistance to the pyrethroids tested. Comparison of the pyrethroid structures with the resistance ratios revealed that resistance was highest in the presence of an unsubstituted phenoxybenzyl alcohol moiety. Substitution or certain modifications of the alcohol moiety reduced the level of resistance. Structure of the acid moiety or the presence or absence of an a-CN group did not affect the resistance level. These results are discussed with reference to the resistance mechanisms present.  相似文献

Levels of microsomal epoxidation, N-demethylation, and cytochrome P-450 in the gut tissues of sixth instar southern armyworm larvae were considerably enhanced following oral in vivo treatment with a series of methylbenzenes. Induction increased with increasing methyl substitution and was maximal with pentamethylbenzene. The increase in microsomal activity occurred rapidly after initiation of treatment and the final levels of induction achieved were dependent on the concentration of the inducer in the diet and the time of exposure. Microsomal enzyme activity returned to control levels following termination of exposure and induction was blocked by puromycin and cycloheximide but not by actinomycin D. The in vivo tolerance of induced worms to orally administered carbaryl was increased in a manner reflecting the enhanced microsomal enzyme activity.  相似文献

Orally administered [1-14C]ethyl paraoxon, O,O-diethyl-O-p-nitrophenyl phosphate, is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of male albino rats. Radioactivity is essentially eliminated in 72 hr by excretion into urine and feces and by expiration as 14CO2. Compounds with radioactivity in the urine are tentatively identified as diethyl phosphoric acid, desethyl paraoxon, ethanol, metabolites conjugated with amino acids, and paraoxon; the first compound is the predominant radioactive metabolite. Intraperitoneally injected phenobarbital, DDT, dieldrin, and endrin are inducers of microsomal enzymes that degrade paraoxon. The aryl phosphate-cleaving activity in vitro is not dependent on the addition of NADPH. O-Dealkylation of paraoxon is catalyzed by microsomal enzymes that require NADPH and oxygen and are inhibited by carbon monoxide. Microsomal enzymes from rats pretreated with enzyme inducers give an increased rate of O-dealkylation of paraoxon. Reduced glutathione has little or no effect on paraoxon degradation by either microsomal or soluble enzymes. Actinomycin D inhibits O-dealkylation of paraoxon in vivo, as indicated by reduction of 14CO2 formation, and in vitro, as indicated by decreased activity of microsomal O-dealkylase. The role of microsomal mixed-function oxidases and NADPH-dependent O-dealkylase in the metabolism of organophosphorus insecticides is discussed.  相似文献

Various detoxifying enzymes, including microsomal oxidases, glutathione S-transferases, esterases, epoxide hydrolase, and DDT-dehydrochlorinase, were assayed in adult worker bees (Apis mellifera L.) using midguts as the enzyme source. A cell-free system was used for all enzyme assays, except that microsomal oxidases required intact midgut because of the inhibitor encountered. Midgut microsomal preparations contained mainly cytochrome P-420, the inactive form of cytochrome P-450, which may explain the low microsomal oxidase activity in microsomes. All enzymes studied were active, suggesting that the high susceptibility of honey bees to insecticides is not due to low detoxication capacity. Sublethal exposure of honey bees to various insecticides had no effect on these enzyme activities, with the exception of permethrin which significantly stimulated the glutathione S-transferase, and malathion, which significantly inhibited the α-naphthylacetate esterase and carboxylesterase.  相似文献

The fungitoxicity of iprodione to a sensitive strain of Botrytis cinerea was antagonised by a variety of cytochrome P-450 mixed function oxidase inhibitors. Piperonyl butoxide, metyrapone and N-(2-ethylhexyl)-8,9,10-trinorborn-5-ene-2,3-dicarboximide (MGK-264) at non-fungitoxic concentrations were strongly antagonistic, whereas sesamex, nuarimol, fenarimol, etaconazole and 6-nitro or 6-methoxy 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole were moderately antagonistic. Phenobarbital and 2-diethylaminoethyl 2,2-diphenylvalerate (SKF 525-A) were slightly antagonistic. The results suggest that fungitoxicity of iprodione may be dependent on an activation catalysed by a cytochrome P-450 mixed function oxidase.  相似文献

Metabolism of [phenyl-14C] and [(2,5) pyrrolidine-14C] cisanilide was investigated in vitro with microsomal preparations from rat liver. Microsomal activity was associated with a mixed-function oxidase system that required O2 and NADPH and was inhibited by CO. Two major ether-soluble metabolites were isolated. They were identified as primary oxidation products: 2-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-1-pyrrolidinecarboxanilide (A) and 4′-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-1-pyrrolidinecarboxanilide (B). Minor ether-soluble metabolites were also isolated. Precursor product studies and qualitative thin layer chromatography analysis of [pyrrolidine-14C] and methylated [phenyl-14C] hydrolysis products suggested that these metabolites were secondary oxidation products formed from metabolites A or B. One of these metabolites appeared to be the dihydroxy product 2,4′-dihydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-1-pyrrolidinecarboxanilide. Crude microsomal preparations (postmitochondrial supernatant fractions) also formed small quantities (<10%) of polar metabolites. Enzyme hydrolysis with β-glucuronidase (Escherichia coli) indicated that approximately 50% of these metabolites were glucuronides. Similarities and differences in cisanilide oxidation in vivo in plants and in vitro with rat liver microsomal preparations were discussed.  相似文献

The metabolism of fenitrothion was investigated in highly resistant (Akita-f) and susceptible (SRS) strains of the house fly, Musca domestica L. The Akita-f strain was 3500 times more resistant to fenitrothion than the SRS strain. Fenitrothion, topically applied to the flies, was metabolized in vivo far faster in the Akita-f strain than in the SRS strain. In vitro studies revealed that fenitrothion was metabolized by a cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system and glutathione S-transferases. The former oxidase system metabolized fenitrothion in vitro into fenitrooxon and 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol as major metabolites, and into 3-hydroxymethyl-fenitrothion and 3-hydroxymethyl-fenitrooxon as minor metabolites. Glutathione S-transferases metabolized fenitrothion into desmethylfenitrothion. The cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system and glutathione S-transferases of the resistant Akita-f strain had 1.4 to 2.2 times and 9.7 times, respectively, as great activities as those of the susceptible SRS strain. These results suggest the importance of glutathione S-transferases in fenitrothion resistance in the Akita-f strain.  相似文献

The in vitro metabolism of the chiral isomers of fonofos and fonofos oxon in the presence of mouse liver mixed-function oxidase and serum esterase was investigated. The metabolism of 35S-labeled phenyl-(S)P-fonofos mediated by mixed-function oxidase took place stereoselectively, resulting predominantly in (R)P-fonofos oxon. Similarly, (R)P-fonofos was converted to (S)P-oxon. In each case, however, a significant amount of racemization occurred. Other products were diphenyl disulfide and diphenyl disulfide oxide. In addition to stereospecificity, the oxidative metabolism of (R)P-fonofos proceeded at a rate faster than that of (S)P-fonofos. Stereoselective rate differences also were observed in mouse or rat serum-catalzyed degradation of the fonofos oxon enantiomers, the (S)P isomer being degraded about twofold faster than its enantiomer. The differences in toxicities of the isomers of fonofos and fonofos oxon were consistent with the in vitro metabolism data.  相似文献

Only about 60% of the total relative gravitational force conventionally used to sediment microsomes is needed to prepare highly active microsomes from the midgut tissues of an insect larva. A rapid preliminary centrifugation for 2 min at 39,000gmax effectively removed contaminating microorganisms, tissue debris, nuclei, and mitochondria. The supernatant was recentrifuged for 20 min to 210,000g to sediment the microsomes. There were no losses of microsomal oxidase activities or degradation of cytochrome P-450 to the inactive form (P-420) resulting from the application of the higher gravitational force. Incorporation of 1 mM EDTA in the buffer and washing the microsomes resulted in an improved yield of the cytochrome compared to that in microsomes prepared in sucrose. Yields of microsomal protein, cytochrome P-450, and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase in the rapidly isolated microsomes were as good as those in conventionally prepared microsomes. The apparent kinetic characteristics of several microsomal oxidation activities and optical difference spectra of Types 1 and 2 ligands were identical in the rapidly and conventionally prepared microsomes. The morphological appearance of the microsomes was examined by electron microscopy. Microsomal pellets prepared by either method were indistinguishable. The rapid procedure saves significant time in microsome preparation and yields microsomal oxidase activities as good or slightly better than those prepared by usual centrifuged procedures.  相似文献
