The inhibitory effects on liver microsomal carboxylesterases and erythrocyte membrane esterases produced by an impurity of malathion was investigated. Treatment of rats with an impurity of malathion, O,O,S-trimethyl phosphorothioate (OOS-Me), and its structural analog O,O-dimethyl S-ethyl phosphorothioate (OOS-Et) inhibited liver microsomal malathion and phenthoate carboxylesterases. The inhibition lasted for at least 7 days following a single oral administration of OOS-Me. These treatments inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase of erythrocyte membranes which persisted at least 3 days. OOS-Et was a more potent inhibitor of all the esterases examined than OOS-Me. Pretreatment of rats with a metabolic inducer, phenobarbital, or a metabolic inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide, had no effect on such inhibitory effects on liver microsomal carboxylesterases produced by OOS-Me or OOS-Et. 相似文献

The in vitro metabolism of EPN (O-ethyl O-p-nitrophenyl phenylphosphonothionate) and EPNO (O-ethyl O-p-nitrophenyl phenylphosphonate) in mouse liver was studied. EPNO was metabolized faster than EPN, and the highest metabolic activity was found in the 10,000g supernatant in the presence of both NADPH and glutathione. Liver microsomes in the presence of NADPH metabolize EPN to its oxygen analog, EPNO and p-nitrophenol. With the 100,000g supernatant only slight metabolism of EPN occurred in the presence of GSH. Metabolism of EPNO by liver microsomes increased upon the addition of NADPH. p-Nitrophenol was the only metabolite isolated in the presence of microsomes, whereas, with the addition of NADPH, both p-nitrophenol and desethyl EPNO were formed. Quantitative studies showed that there was little, if any, oxidative dearylation of EPNO by liver microsomes. The 100,000g supernatant was found to actively degrade EPNO, and this increased upon addition of glutathione. The initial rate of p-nitrophenol formation as a result of incubation of EPN and EPNO with liver microsomes was found to be higher with EPN than EPNO. 相似文献

NADPH-dependent inhibition of hepatic microsomal carboxylesterase by a derivative of monocrotophos (coded as RPR-5) was studied in rat and Japanese quail as a measure of monooxygenase-catalysed activation of RPR-5. There was NADPH-dependent inhibition of hepatic microsomal α-naphthyl acetate esterase (carboxylesterase) both in rat and quail, indicating monooxygenase-catalysed formation of an oxon that subsequently phosphorylated α-NaE. The pattern of in-vitro metabolism of 14C-labelled RPR-5 by 11000g supernatant (11-S), microsomes and 105000g supernatant (105-S) fractions of rat and quail livers suggested the involvement of microsomal monooxygenases and carboxylesterases. A radiolabelled metabolite (M2) was tentatively identified as an acid produced by carboxyl esterase attack. In rat, metabolism by microsomal and cytosolic (105-S) carboxylesterases appeared to predominate with relatively little oxidative metabolism. In quail, putative microsomal carboxylesterase hydrolysis of RPR-5 was much lower than in the rat with almost neglible hydrolysis by cytosolic fractions. Also, production of M2 by quail microsomes was substantially reduced after addition of NADPH, suggesting inhibition of a carboxyl esterase by the oxon of RPR-5. Differences in this detoxification of RPR-5 between rat and quail may be an important factor in determining selective toxicity and the results underline the importance of relating metabolism to toxicity when selecting animal models for toxicity testing. 相似文献

The in vivo and in vitro metabolism of [14C]malathion was studied in susceptible (LS) and malathion resistant (RM) strains of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann). No difference was found between strains in the penetration, excretion, storage, or inhibitory potency of the insecticide. However, RM degraded malathion to its α- and β-monocarboxylic acid metabolites more rapidly than LS, both in vivo and in vitro. This enhanced degradation of [14C]malathion occurred in vitro in both mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of resistant flies. Kinetic analysis revealed that these fractions degraded malathion by discrete mechanisms. The enzymes from the mitochondria of both strains had the same Km, whereas the microsomal enzyme from the RM strain had a fivefold higher Km than that from the LS strain. Studies of esterase activities and the effect of enzyme inhibitors showed that both the mitochondrial and microsomal resistance mechanisms were the result of enhanced carboxylesterase activity. It was concluded that increased carboxylesterase detoxification of malathion adequately explained the high level of malathion resistance in RM if rate-limiting factors such as cuticular penetration were taken into account. 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

A microsomal malathion carboxylesterase present in Triatoma infestans eggs was active from the first day of embryonic development. This microsomal egg malathionase (MEM) showed a unique band in polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) when malathion was used as substrate. In vivo metabolism of [14C]malathion during all embryonic development showed a 10% degradation due to carboxylesterases. The in vitro evaluation of the same metabolic pathway catalyzed by the microsomal fraction of T. infestans eggs showed partial inhibition by paraoxon. α- and β-malathion monoacids were identified as the main metabolites of the in vivo and in vitro metabolic pathways. The carboxylesterase band that appeared in PAGE (MEM) from the first day of embryonic development could be the main cause of malathion tolerance in T. infestans eggs. 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 effect of the malathion impurities, isomalathion of O,S,S-trimethyl phosphorodithioate (OSS-Me), on the toxicokinetic behavior of [methoxy-14C]malathion in female rats was investigated. Malathion α- and β-monoacids and the diacid were the predominant metabolites in the blood of rats pretreated orally with corn oil followed 4 hr later with radiolabeled malathion. Pretreatment of rats with isomalathion or OSS-Me in corn oil followed by treatment with malathion resulted in a decrease of total radioactive metabolites in the blood. Moreover, a substantial reduction in the level of malathion β-monoacid and malathion diacid was observed in the blood of impurity pretreated animals. These results indicate that the impurities have a stronger effect in inhibiting carboxylesterases which preferentially hydrolyze the β-carboethoxy moiety of malathion. The major malathion metabolites excreted in the urine of pretreated and control rats generally matched those present in the blood. The potentiation of the acute toxicity of malathion by pretreatment with isomalathion or OSS-Me may be explained by the reduction in the rat's capacity to degrade malathion via carboxylesterase-catalyzed hydrolysis of the β-carboethoxy moiety. 相似文献

Daily 75 mg/kg phenobarbital ip injections for 3 days or 25 ppm dieldrin in the diet of mice for 14 days caused an increase in liver cytochrome P-450 and blood B-esterase. Liver A-esterase was not significantly increased. Under in vitro conditions, phenobarbital and dieldrin induced the oxidative as well as hydrolytic metabolism of dicrotophos, dimethoate, and phosphamidon by liver homogenates or combined microsomes plus 105,000g supernatant fractions. The concentration of dimethoxon was increased more than fourfold by the pretreatments after incubation for 4 hr at 37.5°C with NADPH added. The organophosphorus insecticides used in this study were not metabolized as well by the liver microsomes alone or 105,000g supernatant alone, as by the combination of microsomes and 105,000g supernatant. Under in vivo conditions in mice, phenobarbital and dieldrin treatments increased the urinary recovery of metabolites in the initial 6 hr after [14C]carbonyl-dimethoate or [14C]N-ethyl-phosphamidon administration. Analysis of urine showed that the inducers caused a more than sixfold increase in dimethoxon recovered and twofold increase in water-soluble nontoxic metabolites within 6 hr after dimethoate administration. With phosphamidon both inducers increased the rate of metabolism, and the total recovery in aqueous and chloroform fractions was decreased. These results suggest that increased dimethoate toxicity after phenobarbital and dieldrin treatments in whole animals results from stimulation of the activation of dimethoate to dimethoxon, while the increase in hydrolytic products after both pretreatments results in decreased toxicity of the direct acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, dicrotophos and phosphamidon. 相似文献

The effect of O,S,S,-trimethyl phosphorodithioate on the in vivo metabolism of phenthoate in the rat
The in vivo metabolism of phenthoate (O,O-dimethyl S-[α-(carboethoxy)benzyl]phosphorodithioate) was followed in rats after oral administration of a nontoxic dose of 100 mg/kg. The same metabolic study was conducted following coadministration of 0.5% O,S,S-trimethyl phosphorodithioate (OSS-Me). When administered alone, phenthoate was metabolized principally by carboethoxy ester hydrolysis and cleavage of the PO and CS bonds, resulting in at least six metabolites. The primary urinary metabolite excreted was phenthoate acid. Coadministration of 0.5% OSS-Me did not alter the types of metabolites excreted. However, a reduction of the carboxylesterase-catalyzed product (phenthoate acid) was observed, indicating that the enzyme responsible for the major pathway of phenthoate detoxication was inhibited. Alternate detoxication processes did not compensate for the reduction in carboxylesterase-catalyzed detoxication. It was concluded that inhibition of the carboxylesterase enzymes is the major cause of the potentiation of phenthoate toxicity by OSS-Me. 相似文献

The hydrolysis of malation by rabbit liver oligomeric and monomeric carboxylesterases (CE's) (EC 3.1.1.1) results in the formation of a mixture of α- and β-monoacids. A new chromatographic procedure was utilized to investigate the formation of α- and β-monoacids. The oligomeric carboxylesterase (oCE) produced an ratio of monoacids of 4.55, and the monomeric carboxylesterase (mCE) produced an ratio of monoacids of 2.33. The ratios of α- and β-monoacids were independent of the initial concentration of malathion and remained constant over the time course of the reaction. Kinetic studies demonstrated that the Km values were the same for the corresponding reactions which produced either α-monoacid or β-monoacid with the same enzyme. Since both carboxylesterases are electrophoretically pure, the kinetic data strongly supports the theory that the reactions which produced α- and β-monoacids are catalyzed by the same active site. Comparison of the kcat and Km values governing the hydrolysis of malathion by the two esterases, together with their relative abundance in liver, indicated that the oCE would be responsible for about 80 to 98% of the hydrolytic detoxication of malathion by rabbit liver. 相似文献

The role of esterases in malathion resistance in Culex tarsalis has been investigated. When larvae of a resistant and a sensitive strain were placed in water containing [14C]malathion, malathion penetrated to give initially similar internal levels. With resistant mosquitoes, after 15 min the internal malathion concentration decreased to low levels while the monoacid degradation products accumulated in the larvae and were excreted into the surrounding water, whereas in susceptible larvae the internal malathion level stayed high and was lethal. It is suggested that the decrease in internal malathion and the resulting resistance were caused by an active malathion carboxylesterase in the resistant strain. A specific assay for malathion carboxylesterase with [14C]malathion showed 55 times more activity in resistant than in susceptible larvae, whereas when general esterase activity was assayed with α-naphthyl acetate only 1.7 times the activity was found. Analyses by starch gel electrophoresis showed a peak of malathion carboxylesterase, 60-fold higher from resistant than from susceptible larvae, in a gel zone which did not stain for general esterase activity. General esterases that did not hydrolyze malathion showed different electrophoretic patterns in the two populations, which are likely due to the nonisogenic character of the strains. These results show that use of a specific assay and the demonstration of degradation of malathion in vivo are essential for assessment of the contribution of esterase activity to the malathion-resistant phenotype in mosquito populations. 相似文献

Epoxidase, hydroxylase, and O-demethylase activities were studied in both larvae and adults of the honey bee, Apis mellifera (L.). In adult drone and worker bees, oxidase activity was observed only with intact tissues, particularly the midgut, and was lost completely on tissue homogenization. Homogenates and subcellular fractions from whole drone honey bee larvae exhibited oxidase activity and optimum in vitro assay conditions were established. The enzymes required NADPH and oxygen for maximum activity and were inhibited by CO and insecticide synergists. Electron micrographs of various subcellular fractions from drone honey bee larvae showed that oxidase activity was associated with smooth and rough vesicles probably derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. Levels of oxidase activity were dependent on age in preparations from both adult insects and from drone larvae. 相似文献

Insecticide resistance in the bedbug Cimex hemipterus was investigated using 4211 bedbugs collected from three districts of Sri Lanka. Insecticide bioassays were carried out with discriminating dosages of deltamethrin, permethrin, DDT, malathion, and propoxur. Activity levels of insecticide metabolizing enzymes and the insecticide target site acetylcholinesterase were monitored using biochemical assays. Percentage survivals after DDT, malathion, and propoxur exposure were 41-88%, 18-64%, and 11-41%, respectively. For deltamethrin and permethrin, KT50/KT90 (time to knock-down 50%/90% of the population) values were 0.5-24/1.0-58 and 1.3-10/2.5-47 h, respectively. Both elevated esterase and malathion carboxylesterase mechanisms were present in bedbug populations. Monooxygenase levels were heterogeneous. Organophosphate and carbamate target site acetylcholinesterase, was insensitive in 29-44% of the populations. High DDT resistance was probably due to glutathione S-transferases. Malathion carboxylesterases are mainly responsible for high malathion resistance. High tolerance to both DDT and pyrethroids suggests the presence of ‘kdr’ type resistance mechanism in one population. 相似文献

Malathion resistance was first detected in Sri Lankan Anopheles culicifacies in limited regions of the island in 1982. The frequency of resistance has been increasing slowly since then, but is not yet high enough to be considered an operational problem. Malathion toxicity is synergised in the resistant population by triphenyl phosphate, and metabolism studies suggest the involvement of a carboxylesterase enzyme. The spread of general esterase activity in individuals in an area of the island where resistance is present is wider than that in a totally malathion-susceptible area. However, the frequency of individuals with high esterase activity does not correlate well with resistance in the two field populations studied in detail. This suggests that a qualitative rather than a quantitative change in esterase activity may be involved in this resistance. Extrapolation from similar qualitatively changed carboxylesterases in other anophelines leads us to predict that the resistance in A. culicifacies will be malathion specific and inherited as a single semidominant characteristic. 相似文献

Separate esterase activities of rat and mouse liver microsomes hydrolyzing malathion, trans-permethrin, and cis-permethrin were differentiated on the basis of their sensitivities to inhibition by paraoxon and α-naphthyl N-propylcarbamate (NPC). In rat liver microsomes, the malathionhydrolyzing activity was more sensitive to both inhibitors and showed a different time course of NPC inhibition than the activities hydrolyzing the permethrin isomers. Paraoxon completely inhibited trans-permethrin hydrolysis, but only partially inhibited that of cis-permethrin. The paraoxonsensitive trans- and cis-permethrin-hydrolyzing activities were not differentially inhibited, but separate inhibition curves were obtained for the inhibition of trans- and cis-permethrin hydrolysis by NPC. The mouse liver esterase activity hydrolyzing trans-permethrin showed a similar paraoxon sensitivity to that of rat liver, but that the paraoxon-sensitive portion of the cis-permethrinhydrolyzing activity was 5.5-fold less sensitive to paraoxon than the corresponding rat liver activity and was clearly differentiated from the mouse liver trans-permethrin-hydrolyzing activity. The mouse liver malathion-hydrolyzing activity was 100-fold less sensitive to paraoxon and 14-fold less sensitive to NPC than the corresponding rat liver activity. Rat and mouse liver esterase activities hydrolyzed trans- and cis-permethrin at similar rates under standard assay conditions, but mouse liver esterases were 10-fold less active in hydrolyzing malathion. The higher specific activity of rat liver malathion-hydrolyzing esterases resulted from the greater apparent affinity and maximum velocity for malathion hydrolysis. These results demonstrate that the hydrolysis of malathion, trans-permethrin, and cis-permethrin by rat and mouse liver microsomal preparations involves several esterases with differing substrate specificities and inhibitor sensitivities. 相似文献

Oral administration of O,O,S-trimethyl phosphorothioate (OOS), an impurity present in technical formulations of malathion, has been shown to be associated with a high incidence of pneumonia in rats and to be highly immunosuppressive in mice. Based on these findings, an in vitro model was established to study the effect of this and other organophosphorus compounds on murine cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses. The organophosphorus compounds were tested for their ability to block in vitro generation of CTL responses to alloantigen and/or the expression of these cytotoxic responses. Responses were generated in C57Bl/6 (H-2b) spleen cells to mitomycin C-blocked P815 (H-2d) tumor cells. The cytotoxicity of the cultured splenocytes to P815 target was measured using a 4-hr chromium release assay. These data demonstrated that malathion was able to block the ability of splenocytes to sensitize to P815 at concentrations as low as 25 μg/ml, but was not able to block the expression of cytotoxicity by mature killer T cells. The same was true for OOS which had been activated by preincubation with rat liver postmitochondrial supernatant (PMS). Activated OOS blocked the generation of CTL responses at concentrations as low as 75 μg/ml while having no effect on mature cytotoxic cells. In fact, both malathion and activated OOS were no longer able to suppress CTL responses if treatment was performed as early as 24 hr after exposure to antigen. Additionally, it was demonstrated that when malathion was preincubated with PMS it was no longer suppressive and that OOS without activation failed to suppress CTL responses. 相似文献

Resistance in a dual malathion- and permethrin-resistant head louse strain (BR-HL) was studied. BR-HL was 3.6- and 3.7-fold more resistant to malathion and permethrin, respectively, compared to insecticide-susceptible EC-HL. S,S,S-Tributylphosphorotrithioate synergized malathion toxicity by 2.1-fold but not permethrin toxicity in BR-HL. Piperonyl butoxide did not synergize malathion or permethrin toxicity. Malathion carboxylesterase (MCE) activity was 13.3-fold and general esterase activity was 3.9-fold higher in BR-HL versus EC-HL. There were no significant differences in phosphotriesterase, glutathione S-transferase, and acetylcholinesterase activities between strains. There was no differential sensitivity in acetylcholinesterase inhibition by malaoxon. Esterases from BR-HL had higher affinities and hydrolysis efficiencies versus EC-HL using various naphthyl-substituted esters. Protein content of BR-HL females and males was 1.6- and 1.3-fold higher, respectively, versus EC-HL adults. Electrophoresis revealed two esterases with increased intensity and a unique esterase associated with BR-HL. Thus, increased MCE activity and over-expressed esterases appear to be involved in malathion resistance in the head louse. 相似文献

The metabolism of O,O-dimethyl S-[α-(carboethoxy)benzyl]phosphorodithioate (phenthoate), an organophosphorus insecticide of low mammalian toxicity, was investigated in white mice and in susceptible and resistant strains of house flies. Phenthoate was metabolized rapidly in the mouse to a wide variety of detoxication products and only an insignificant amount of phenthoate oxon was detected. The same detoxication products were produced in house flies but, compared to the mouse, substantial amounts of phenthoate oxon also were found. The selective toxicity of phenthoate between insect and mammal is attributable to the difference in the accumulation of the oxon. 相似文献

Nitrobenzene reduction by tissue preparations of the Madagascar cockroach, Grompphadorhina portentosa, was studied in vitro. Active enzyme preparations were obtained from midgut, hindgut, fat body, and Malpighian tubules. Anaerobic conditions were essential for activity which was found in all subcellular fractions tested. The microsomal enzymes were strongly NADPH-dependent whereas the soluble enzymes were strongly NADH-dependent. Flavin addition stimulated activity greatly and it appeared that the true substrate for the nitroreductases was FMN and that nitrobenzene was nonenzymatically reduced by FMH2. 相似文献
