Using recombinant yeast expressing the human androgen receptor, we found that fenitrothion behaved as an androgen agonist in vitro when tested alone, and that it could antagonize the androgen DHT when both chemicals competed for the androgen receptor in vitro.

We investigated the interaction of the organophosphothioate pesticide fenitrothion (O,O-dimethyl O-(4-nitro-m-tolyl) phosphorothioate) with the human androgen receptor (AR).

In vitro, the organophosphate insecticide fenitrothion is a potent competitive androgen receptor antagonist, whereas in vivo it affects the development of the male rat reproductive system.

At the dose levels evaluated in this study, fenitrothion was only weakly antiandrogenic in vivo compared with other androgen receptor antagonists such as flutamide, linuron, and vinclozolin.

We previously demonstrated AR antagonist activity of the organophosphate (OP) pesticide fenitrothion.

J Toxicol Sci. 2000 Dec;25(5):403-15.

A 5-day Hershberger assay using young mature male rats to detect compounds interfering with androgen receptor (AR)-mediated mechanisms was evaluated for ability to identify p,p'-DDE (a weak AR antagonist) and methyltestosterone (MT, an AR agonist).

Antiestrogenic activities of nitrofen, fenitrothion, fenarimol and triadimefon were also suggested.
Affinities of the compounds for ERalpha and/or androgen receptor (AR) were lower than those of synthetic estrogen (diethylstilbestrol) and testosterone (mibolerone), respectively.
