Do these interindividual differences in rates of substrate hydrolysis by PON1 reflect an individual's sensitivity or resistance to OP compounds processed through the P450/PON1 pathway? Injection of purified PON1 into mice clearly demonstrates the protective effect of having high serum levels of PON1 against toxicity by chlorpyrifos oxon or chlorpyrifos.

Compared with their wild-type littermates, PON1-deficient mice were extremely sensitive to the toxic effects of chlorpyrifos oxon, the activated form of chlorpyrifos, and were more sensitive to chlorpyrifos itself.

Serum albumin displays an esterase activity that is capable of hydrolysing the anti-cholinesterase compounds carbaryl, paraoxon, chlorpyrifos-oxon, diazoxon and O-hexyl, O-2,5-dichlorphenyl phosphoramidate.
We conclude the need for a structure-activity relationship study into the albumin-associated esterase activities because this protein is universally present in vertebrates and could compensate for reduced levels of other esterases, i.e., lipoprotein paraoxonase, in some species.
