Pesticides
• EPA definition: “substances or mixtures of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest…”

A bit of history…
– Chinese - 1000BC– Europe - 1800s– CA - today !
•Sulfur
•Arsenic-containing•Strychnine•Nicotine (tobacco leaves extracts - 1690)•Pyrethrum (chrysanthemum extract)•Bordeaux mix: copper, lime (Ca(OH)2), water

Later…• 1930’s - modern era chemistry
– Alkylthiocyanate– Dithiocarbamate– Bromide compounds
• WWII - – DDT– Dinitrocresol– 2,4 D
• Since then, synthesis with goal improved specificity, reduced toxicity…
• No such a thing as “safe pesticide”

Medical successes
• DDT– Typhus in Naples, Italy– River blindness, West Africa– Malaria - Africa, Asia, Middle East
There are still many parasitic and vector-borne diseases…

Regulations…• 1906 - First Federal Food and Drugs Act• 1938 - Federal Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act• 1958 amend. - Delaney clause: “no additive shall be
deemed safe if …found to induce cancer…”• 1947 - FIFRA: Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and

• 1972 - FIFRA reorganized and passed to EPA• FIFRA Amendments - 1975, ‘78, ‘80, 84• 1996 - Food Quality protection Act (children)• Developing countries adapt or lack regulations

Organochlorine insecticides• DDT
– first commercially produced insecticide (1940’s)
– banned in the US in the 1970’s but is still manufactured and exported (1 ton/day)banned in the US in the 1970’s but is still manufactured and exported (1 ton/day)
• Cyclodienes– Most toxic (CNS) and persistent pesticides known
• HCH and Cl-benzene– Mixtures of isomers
– Medicinal use (lice shampoo) (lindane)
•t1/2 = 7-30y
•Bioaccumulates•Persistent•Lipophilic
•Non-selective•Endocrine disrupter•Reproductive toxins•Neurotoxins (Lindane)

Observed effects
• DDT– Enzyme induction– Competes with estradiol for receptor
• Cyclodienes– Reproductive toxicity (reduced fertility, loss of
pups, teratogenic)– CNS toxicity
• HCH and Cl-benzene– CNS toxicity– Increased hepatocellular tumors (mice)
![Page 46: Pesticides](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144c8550346895db19195/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Mechanisms of action• DDT
– Peripheral sensory neurons– prolonged negative afterpotential in neurons– K+ transport, inactivate Na+ channel closure, inhibit
Na+ /K+ and Ca2+ /Mg2+ ATPases, inhibit calmodulin-transport of Ca2+ (fig. 22-4)
• Cyclodienes– CNS localized– GABAA receptor/channel antagonists, inhibit Cl--uptake and
Na+ /K+ and Ca2+ /Mg2+ ATPases
• HCH and Cl-benzene– Suggested similar to cyclodienes but unknown
![Page 47: Pesticides](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144c8550346895db19195/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Cholinesterase inhibitors
• Organophosphates (OP) and Carbamates– Strong Acute neurotoxicity - AChE inhibition
(cholinergic effects)
– Nervous system toxins - nerve gas (sarin)

• Dithiocarbamates– Ferbam, ziram, maneb, zineb, nabam (metal-based names)– Some reported as teratogenic– Degradation to ethylene thiourea (ETU): a known mutagen,
carcinogen, teratogen and antithyroid compound.– Some neurotoxicity at high doses– May cross into CNS if bound to divalent metals

Fumigants
• Very volatile - inhalation exposure• Non-selective, highly reactive and cytotoxic
– acrylonitrile– carbon disulfide– carbon tetrachloride– ethylene dibromide (gastric carcinomas, sterility)– ethylene oxide (carcinogen, developmental tox.)– phosphine (PH3) released from aluminum phosphide (AlP) in
moist conditions (grain storage)

Rodenticides• Rodents: vectors of disease
– Zinc phosphide - PH3 (cell toxicity,
necrosis, GI, liver, kidneys)
– Fluoroacetic acid and derivatives (Fluoroacetyl-CoA --> fluorocitrate: Krebs cycle collapse)
-naphthyl thiourea (ANTU) must be metabolically activated --> resistance
– Anticoagulants (coumadin, warfarin) - antagonist of vit. K in synthesis of clotting factors; requires multiple doses; resistance
