Fullerene antioxidants decrease organophosphate-induced acetylcholinesterase inhibition in vitro.
Although organophosphate (OP)-induced acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition is the critical mechanism causing toxicities that follow exposure, other biochemical events, including oxidative stress, have been reported to contribute to OP toxicity. Fullerenes are carbon spheres with antioxidant activity. Thus, we hypothesized that fullerenes could counteract the effects of OP compounds and tested...
متن کاملAcetylcholinesterase Inhibition in Organophosphate-Resistant Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)
RESUMO Populações de Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) resistente e susceptível a inseticidas fosforados foram investigadas para verificar a ocorrência de acetilcolinesterase alterada. Malaoxon, a diferentes concentrações, foi utilizado como inibidor em ensaios colorimétricos "in vitro". Populações resistentes provenientes dos municípios de Patrocínio (Minas Gerais, Brasil) e Riley (Kansas, E.U.A.) apr...
متن کاملPlant-parasitic Nematode Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition by Carbamate and Organophosphate Nematicides.
The sensitivity of acetylcholinesterases (ACHE) isolated from the plant-parasitic nematodes Meloidogyne arenaria, M. incognita, and Heterodera glycines and the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to carbamate and organophosphate nematicides was examined. The AChE from plant-parasitic nematode species were more sensitive to carbamate inhibitors than was AChE from C. elegans, but response...
متن کاملConcentration-dependent kinetics of acetylcholinesterase inhibition by the organophosphate paraoxon.
For decades the interaction of the anticholinesterase organophosphorus compounds with acetylcholinesterase has been characterized as a straightforward phosphylation of the active site serine (Ser-203) which can be described kinetically by the inhibitory rate constant k(i). However, more recently certain kinetic complexities in the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by organophosphates such as p...
متن کاملIn vitro inhibition of lysine decarboxylase activity by organophosphate esters.
Organophosphate esters (OPEs), a major group of organophosphorus flame retardants, are regarded as emerging environmental contaminants of health concern. Amino acid decarboxylases catalyze the conversion of amino acids into polyamines that are essential for cell proliferation, hypertrophy and tissue growth. In this paper, inhibitory effect of twelve OPEs with aromatic, alkyl or chlorinated alky...
