  • Bioactivation of N-Alkyl Substituted Phosphor- Amidothioate Insecticides
    J. Pesticide Sci. 9, 675-680 (1984) Original Article Bioactivation of N-Alkyl Substituted Phosphor- amidothioate Insecticides Masako UEJI and Chojiro ToMIzAWA National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences, Yatabe, Tsukuba-gun, Ibaraki 305, Japan (Received May 15, 1984) The insecticidal activity of O-ethyl O-2-isopropoxycarbonylphenyl N-alkylphoshor- amidothioates was examined with reference to their activation in biologicalsystems. Toxicity to the adzuki bean weevil varied with different N-alkyl groups. N-isopropylphosphoramido- thioate was the most toxic of the compounds tested, and N-unsubstituted, N-methyl- and N-ethylphosphoramidothioates were more toxic than fenitrothion. However, N-propyl and N-butyl homologs were less active than fenitrothion with the exception of the N-isopropyl homolog. LD50 values of the phosphoramidothioates for the insect were not correlated with in vitro anti-AChE activity of the phosphoramidates. 150 of N-isopropylphosphoramidate for acetylcholinesterases from adzuki bean weevil and bovine serum was higher than 10-3 M. When the phosphoramidothioates and phosphoramidate were incubated with rat liver micro- somal system, AChE activity of bovine serum was strongly inhibited in the presence of NADPH. Inhibition of AChE activity was reduced by addition of SKF 525-A to the micro- somal system. The compounds became also potent inhibitors for AChE by treatment with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. From these results, it was concluded that phosphoramidothioates and their oxons were activated oxidatively to inhibit AChE by the microsomal system as well as chemical treatment with peracid. of amide groups of phosphoramidothioate or INTRODUCTION phosphoramidate insecticides except schradan Bioactivity of phosphoramidothioates is vari- (octamethylpyrophosphoramidate).

Through the course of civilization, perhaps through keen observation and happenstance, humans have figured out that extracts from certain chrysanthemum flowers (Scientific Name: Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium; Common Names: pyrethrum plant, Dalmatian chrysanthemum, insect flowers) [Fig. 1] have insecticidal properties. Legend has it that a person picked certain chrysanthemum flowers as beautiful adornment—and then noticed dead insects around the flowers once they had dried and withered several days later. It is possible that pyrethrum extracts have been used for hundreds of years as insecticides in the Middle East. Persian Fig 1. Flowers of the pyrethrum plant (Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium).

  • Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1948
    P AUL H. MÜLLE R Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane and newer insecticides Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1948 Ladies and Gentlemen. Since Perkin synthesized the first dyestuff in 1856, about 90 years have elapsed. During this period the synthesis of artificial dyestuffs has gone through enormous development. The discovery of fuchsines by Emanuel Verguin in 1859, unlocked the tri- phenylmethane dyestuffs for the dyestuffs chemist. The very important discovery of the diazo compounds by Peter Griess, in 1858, certainly brought about the most significant reaction in the chemistry of dyestuffs, a quite unique impetus to the development of this field of organic chemistry. The most important milestones in this development are: the preparation of Bismarck brown by C. Martius in 1863, of Chrysoidine by O. N. Witt in 1876, and Congo Red, the first dyestuff capable of direct application to cotton, by P. Böttiger in 1884. This large-scale development and the vast mass of experimental material available have called for a variety of attempted explanations. The relation- ships between composition and colour on the one hand, and fastness on the other, were the subjects of several attempts at theoretical explanation. Particularly fruitful in this respect was the theory of O. N. Witt on chro- mophores and auxochromes, and the theory - valid only in special cases - of E. Schirm, J. Prakt. Chem., 144 (1936) 69, concerning the connexion between composition and affinity to cellulose fibre. Thanks to these results the dyestuffs chemist today, after about 90 years of untiring detailed study, is in the fortunate position to possess certain points of reference enabling him to set up his programme of work in bold outlines.

  • Managing Pesticide Poisoning Risk and Understanding the Signs and Symptoms Clyde L
    EC2505 Revised June 2018 Managing Pesticide Poisoning Risk and Understanding the Signs and Symptoms Clyde L. Ogg, Extension Educator Jan R. Hygnstrom, Project Manager Cheryl A. Alberts, Project Coordinator Erin C. Bauer, Entomology Lecturer The potential for accidents with pesticides is real. Ac- cidental exposure or overexposure to pesticides can have seri- ous consequences. While most pesticides can be used with relatively little risk when label directions are followed, some are extremely toxic and require special precautions. The Poison Control Centers receive about 90,000 calls each year related to pesticide exposures. Pesticides are re- sponsible for about 3 percent of all accidental exposures to children 5 years and younger and about 4 percent for adults. In addition, pesticides are the cause of about 3 percent of children’s deaths reported to the Poison Control Centers. Routes of Exposure Pesticides can enter the human body three ways: 1) der- mal exposure, by absorption through the skin or eyes; 2) oral exposure, through the mouth; and 3) through inhalation or respiratory exposure, by inhaling into the lungs. Some classify exposure through the eyes as ocular exposure. Dermal exposure results in absorption immediately after Figure 1. Absorption rates of different a pesticide contacts the skin or eyes. Absorption will contin- parts of the body based on the absorption ue as long as the pesticide remains in contact with the skin or of parathion into the forearm over 24 eyes. The rate at which dermal absorption occurs is different hours. for each part of the body (Figure 1). Maiback and Feldman (1974) measured the amount of the pesticide parathion absorbed by different parts of the human body over 24 hours.
