Product Description
Azamethiphos is an organophosphorus pesticide and neurotoxicant that can inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
Organophosphate metabolism primarily occurs through oxidation, esterase hydrolysis, and reactions with glutathione. Demethylation and glucuronidation may also occur. Oxidation of organophosphate pesticides can produce moderately toxic products. Generally, thiophosphates themselves are not directly toxic and require oxidative metabolism to be converted into proximal toxins. Products produced by glutathione transferase reactions are generally less toxic. Paraoxygenase (PON1) is a key enzyme in organophosphate metabolism. PON1 can inactivate certain organophosphates through hydrolysis. PON1 hydrolyzes active metabolites in various organophosphate pesticides and nerve agents such as soman, sarin, and VX. The existence of PON1 polymorphism leads to differences in the enzyme level and catalytic efficiency of this esterase, which in turn suggests that different individuals may be more susceptible to the toxic effects of organophosphate exposure.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity Summary
Azathioprine is a cholinesterase, or acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. Cholinesterase inhibitors (or "anticholinesterases") inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase. Because acetylcholinesterase plays a vital physiological role, chemicals that interfere with its activity are potent neurotoxins; even low doses can cause excessive salivation and lacrimation, followed by muscle spasms and ultimately death. Substances used in nerve gases and many pesticides have been shown to exert their effects by binding to serine residues at the active site of acetylcholinesterase, thus completely inhibiting the enzyme's activity. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is released at the neuromuscular junction, causing muscle or organ relaxation. The mechanism of action of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors is to allow acetylcholine to accumulate and exert its sustained effect, ensuring the continuous transmission of nerve impulses and preventing muscle contraction from ceasing. The most common acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are phosphorus-containing compounds designed to bind to the enzyme's active site. Its structural requirements include a phosphorus atom with two lipophilic groups, a leaving group (such as a halogen or thiocyanate group), and a terminal oxygen atom.
Additional Infomation
Thiomethylphosphide is an organothiophosphate insecticide, organochlorine insecticide, and organochlorine acaricide. It is an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor and also an agricultural chemical. Its structure is similar to that of oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-2(3H)-one. Thiomethylphosphide is a synthetic organothiophosphate compound, an organophosphate acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, mutagen, and neurotoxin used as an insecticide. It is a water-soluble, colorless to gray or orange-yellow solid that can be exposed to air, through inhalation, ingestion, or contact. Thiomethylphosphide is an organophosphate insecticide whose mechanism of action is through the inhibition of cholinesterase activity. In veterinary medicine, it is used in aquaculture to control ectoparasites in Atlantic salmon. It exhibits moderate acute oral toxicity in mammals but high acute oral toxicity in birds.

Biological Data
  • 3D model of important amino acids. Overlay of the predicted three-dimensional positioning of functionally important amino acids in AChE1a wild-type and mutated enzyme from Lepeophtheirus salmonis. The changed amino acid (362Tyr, corresponding to codon 331 in T. californica) is displayed in white. The other amino acids, Trp115, Tyr152, Ser230 and His472 (Trp84, Tyr130, Ser200 and His440 in T. californica) are displayed in grey. Other amino acids are not displayed. The Phe362Tyr mutation alters the structure and the polarity of the enzymatic pocket. According to the ligand docking model, azamethiphos (green in the wild-type AChE1a, red in the mutated AChE1a) binds differently in the pocket, with H-bonds to both Tyr152 and 362Tyr in the mutated enzyme. No H-bonds were predicted between azamethiphos and these two amino acids in the wild-type enzyme. SWISS MODEL in the automated mode [13] (http://swissmodel.expasy.org/) was used for modelling of the protein, the molecular docking server (http://www.dockingserver.com/web) was used to dock azamethiphos to the protein, and Chimera 1.10.1. (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/) was used to illustrate the positions. Kaur K, Helgesen KO, Bakke MJ, Horsberg TE.

  • Survival analysis plot. Kaplan-Meier survival plot of all three genotypes: homozygote sensitive (SS), heterozygote (RS) and homozygote resistant (RR). Three salmon infested with Ls F were treated for 30 minutes with 0.1 mgL-1 azamethiphos in a bath treatment. All detached salmon lice were removed during the exposure and the following 2.5 hours. Detached parasites were also removed 24 hours later. Two parasites were excluded from the analysis as they attached to the tank wall after detaching from the fish. The rest of the parasites were picked off the fish 8 days post treatment. These salmon lice were regarded as alive, while the detached were regarded as dead. All salmon lice were genotyped by PatoGen AS in Ålesund, Norway using a TaqMan assay. The upper dotted line is the RR group, the solid line is the RS group, while the lower broken line is the SS group. One of the RS parasites died between 200 minutes and 24 hours after start of exposure, but the exact time is unknown. In this plot the time of death is set to 250 minutes. The cut-off limit is set to 300 minutes. Kaur K, Helgesen KO, Bakke MJ, Horsberg TE. Mechanism behind Resistance against the Organophosphate Azamethiphos in Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis).

  • Residual enzyme activity after in vivo inhibition. AChE activity (mU/mg protein) in susceptible (SS) and resistant (RR) lice after treatment with 0 μgL-1 (control) or 2 μgL-1 azamethiphos for 24 hours. No difference was observed between the control groups. A statistically significant decrease in the residual activity after 2 μgL-1 azamethiphos treatment was found in both strains (p<0.0001, Steel-Dwass method). In addition, there was a statistically significant difference between the two treated groups (SS-2 μgL-1 and RR-2 μgL-1; p = 0.019, Steel-Dwass method) indicating a protective effect of the Phe362Tyr mutation against azamethiphos bath treatment). The box plots indicate the group median, 75% and 25% quantiles, and whiskers (JMP, SAS institute). Different letters indicate a statistically significant difference.
