Some toxicological aspects op methamidophos exposure in mice1

Abstract: Cholinesterase activity in the brain, RBC and plasma of Swiss mice was determined following different routes of administration of methamidophos. Continuous feeding with the insecticide caused a progressive inhibition of both plasma- and erythrocyte enzymes. The effect of methamidophos was more pronounced when applied in diet than when administered dermally or intraperitoneally. Following a single injection (i.p.) of methamidophos, the brain enzyme showed maximum inhibition 24 hr following treatment. At the app… Show more

“…Total residues in fruits and leaves determined at intervals following application revealed the greater to rats is 900 mg.kg" 1 ), especially fish (Szeto et al, 1982 is 13 mg.kg" 1 ) (Ware, 1989) is several times more toxic than acephate (Spencer, 1982;Maroni et al, 1990), and was reported as a potent inhibitor of plasma and RBCcholinesterases (Zayed et al, 1984). Methamidophos, besides acute intoxication, has caused delayed neuropathy in man through the mechanism of "neuropathy target esterase" (NTE) inhibition (Senanayake and Johnson, 1982).…”

“…Methamidophos (MAP) is an OP and a potent AChE inhibitor used to control insects that plague a variety of crops such as brassica, cotton, tobacco, sugar beet, lettuce, potatoes, and tree fruits (WHO, 1993). MAP is highly toxic to aquatic organisms (Tomlin, 1994) and mice (Zayed et al, 1984). It also has anticholinesterase activity in humans (Worek et al, 2007(Worek et al, , 2004.…”
