Short Communication Human Hepatic Cytochrome P450-Specific Metabolism of the Organophosphorus Pesticides Methyl Parathion and Diazinon

چکیده
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are a public health concern due to their worldwide use and documented human exposures. Phosphorothioate OPs are metabolized by cytochrome P450s (P450s) through either a dearylation reaction to form an inactive metabolite, or through a desulfuration reaction to form an active oxon metabolite, which is a potent cholinesterase inhibitor. This study investigated the rate of desulfuration (activation) and dearylation (detoxification) of methyl parathion and diazinon in human liver microsomes. In addition, recombinant human P450s were used to determine the P450-specific kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) for each compound for future use in refining human physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) models of OP exposure. The primary enzymes involved in bioactivation of methyl parathion were CYP2B6 (Km 1.25 M; Vmax 9.78 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ), CYP2C19 (Km 1.03 M; Vmax 4.67 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ), and CYP1A2 (Km 1.96 M; Vmax 5.14 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ), and the bioactivation of diazinon was mediated primarily by CYP1A1 (Km 3.05 M; Vmax 2.35 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ), CYP2C19 (Km 7.74 M; Vmax 4.14 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ), and CYP2B6 (Km 14.83 M; Vmax 5.44 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ). P450-mediated detoxification of methyl parathion only occurred to a limited extent with CYP1A2 (Km 16.8 M; Vmax 1.38 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ) and 3A4 (Km 104 M; Vmax 5.15 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ), whereas the major enzyme involved in diazinon detoxification was CYP2C19 (Km 5.04 M; Vmax 5.58 nmol min 1 nmol P450 ). The OPand P450-specific kinetic values will be helpful for future use in refining human PBPK/PD models of OP exposure.

متن کاملOrganophosphorus pesticide ozonation and formation of oxon intermediates.
In the present study, organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) (diazinon, methyl parathion, and parathion) were oxidized by bubbling ozone into a glass reactor. OP residues were detected using HPLC and ozonation intermediates were identified using GC-MS. The degradation of OPs followed pseudo-first-order kinetics through direct ozone oxidation and indirect hydroxyl radical oxidation. Diazinon, based o...

Pesticides have the potential to leave harmful effects on humans, animals, other living organisms, and the environment. Several human metabolic proteins inhibited after exposure to organophosphorus pesticides absorbed through the skin, inhalation, eyes and oral mucosa, are most important targets for this interaction study. The crystal structure of five different proteins, PDBIDs: 3LII, 3NXU, 4G...

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) remain a potential concern to human health because of their continuing worldwide use. Thiophosphorus OPs, once bioactivated by cytochromes P450 (P450s), form oxon metabolites, which are potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. This study investigated the rate of desulfation (activation) and dearylation (detoxification) of parathion and chlorpyrifos in human live...

BACKGROUND Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are developmental neurotoxicants but also produce lasting effects on metabolism. OBJECTIVES/METHODS We administered diazinon (DZN) or parathion (PRT) to rats on postnatal days 14 at doses straddling the threshold for systemic signs of exposure and assessed the effects on hepatic and cardiac cell signaling mediated through the adenylyl cyclase (AC) ...
