Neurotoxicidad retrasada de los ésteres de fenilfosfontioato
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|August 17, 1979
Resumen
Las dosis orales únicas de cinco ésteres de fenilfosfonetioato causaron neurotoxicidad retardada en las gallinas. Esta neurotoxicidad, caracterizada por la degeneración nerviosa, puede ser un rasgo común entre estos tipos de insecticidas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Toxicología Toxicología.
- La neurociencia es la neurociencia.
- Ciencias ambientales Ciencias ambientales.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los ésteres de fenilfosfontioato son una clase de compuestos químicos utilizados en los insecticidas.
- La neurotoxicidad retardada es un efecto adverso potencial de ciertos compuestos organofosforados.
- Comprender el potencial neurotóxico de estos insecticidas es crucial para la evaluación del riesgo.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar los efectos neurotóxicos retrasados de dosis orales únicas de cinco diferentes ésteres de fenilfosfontioato en gallinas.
- Para establecer la potencia relativa de estos compuestos en la inducción de neurotoxicidad.
- Determinar si la neurotoxicidad retardada es una característica general de los insecticidas fenilfosfontioato.
Principales métodos:
- Administración de una sola dosis oral de cinco ésteres de fenilfosfontioato (cianofenfos, EPN, desbromoleptofos, leptofos y EPBP) a las gallinas.
- Examen histológico de la médula espinal y los nervios periféricos para evaluar la degeneración axonal y mielina.
- Análisis comparativo de la potencia de neurotoxicidad entre los compuestos probados.
Principales resultados:
- Los cinco ésteres de fenilfosfonatioato probados indujeron neurotoxicidad retardada en las gallinas.
- La potencia de estos compuestos para causar neurotoxicidad, en orden descendente, fue cianofenofos, EPN, desbromoleptofos, leptofos y EPBP.
- Los hallazgos histológicos revelaron una marcada degeneración axonal y mielina en la médula espinal y los nervios periféricos de las gallinas afectadas.
Conclusiones:
- La neurotoxicidad retrasada es una característica potencial y probable general de los insecticidas fenilfosfonotioatos.

01:26Toxic Reactions: Overview
When toxic substances penetrate the human body, they disseminate to various tissues, undergoing metabolic changes. This process yields reactive metabolites that may covalently bind with specific target molecules, resulting in toxicity.
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...

01:07Teratogenicity
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
01:18Indirect-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Mechanism of Action
Indirect-acting cholinergic agonists work by interacting with an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the synaptic cleft. They can be reversible or irreversible inhibitors and have different effects on the enzyme.
Reversible inhibitors like edrophonium bind to a specific part of the enzyme called the anionic catalytic site. They form noncovalent bonds, which means they are not strongly attached to the enzyme. This creates a temporary and less stable enzyme–inhibitor complex, leading to...

01:22Indirect-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Pharmacokinetics
Indirect-acting cholinergic agonists, or anticholinesterases, enhance the body's cholinergic activity by inhibiting acetylcholine's breakdown. They are categorized as reversible or irreversible agents based on their mechanism of action. They are further classified into short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting agents based on their duration of action.
Reversible agents containing quaternary amines, such as neostigmine and edrophonium, are not easily absorbed orally because they are...

01:26Anticholinesterase Agents: Poisoning and Treatment
Anticholinesterases, also known as cholinesterase inhibitors, work by blocking the breakdown of acetylcholine, leading to its accumulation in the synaptic cleft. This accumulation indirectly enhances both muscarinic and nicotinic actions. These agents are classified as reversible or irreversible based on their mechanism of action.
Irreversible agents form a strong bond with the cholinesterase enzyme, making it inactive. The breakdown of the phosphorylated enzyme is slower than the...

01:24Drug Toxicity: Dose-Dependent Reactions
Drug toxicities can be stratified into pharmacological, pathological, or genotoxic based on their mechanisms. The incidence and severity of these toxicities generally increase with the drug's concentration in the body and exposure time.Pharmacological toxicity is evident when the therapeutic effects of drugs overshoot into adverse reactions in a predictable, dose-dependent manner. Central nervous system (CNS) depression from barbiturates is a classic example, with effects escalating from...
