Pretreatment of mice with the esterase inhibitor diazinon (10 mg/kg, i.p.) increased cocaethylene hepatotoxicity, as did pretreatment with the cytochrome P450 inducing agents phenobarbital (80 mg/kg/day, i.p., for 3 days) or beta-naphthoflavone (40 mg/kg/day, i.p., for 3 days).

The lower inhibitory effect of the combination of methyl parathion and diazinon might be due to competition of diazinon with methyl parathion for cytochrome P-450 enzymes, resulting in formation of the potent cholinesterase inhibitor methyl paraoxon.

The CYP6A2 protein produced in this system metabolized aldrin and heptachlor to their epoxides and metabolized the insecticide diazinon by desulfuration to diazoxon and by oxidative ester cleavage to 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine.

J Econ Entomol. 1997 Dec;90(6):1514-20.

Few significant variations of ECOD activity were detected among the natural populations despite many insecticide treatments, but activities were significantly correlated with toxicological tolerance to 5 of the 15 insecticides (deltamethrin, fipronil, chlorpyriphos ethyl, DDT, and diazinon).

Baculovirus-mediated expression of the CYP6B8 and CYP6B1 proteins demonstrates that CYP6B8 metabolizes six biosynthetically diverse plant allelochemicals (xanthotoxin, quercetin, flavone, chlorogenic acid, indole-3-carbinol, and rutin) and three insecticides (diazinon, cypermethrin, and aldrin), whereas CYP6B1 metabolizes only two allelochemicals (xanthotoxin and flavone) and one insecticide (diazinon) of those tested.

Hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activity was also estimated by measuring the systemic clearance of antipyrine, and the expression of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A2 and CYP1A2, which is closely related to the metabolism from DZN to DZN-oxon, a strong inhibitor of both ChE and AChE.

The organochlorine pesticides (alachlor and p,p'-methoxychlor) were more cytotoxic than the organophosphorus pesticides (EPN, diazinon, and malathion).
Xenobiotic-metabolizing capacity was temperature dependent, with enzymatic activity increasing as the temperature was increased from 28 to 34 to 37 degrees C, was inducible by Aroclor 1254 (a chemical inducer of cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activity), and was reduced by EPN (an inhibitor of P450 activity).

Mutations leading to changes in expression levels or substrate specificities of cytochrome P450 (P450), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and esterase genes have been linked to many cases of resistance with the responsible enzyme shown to utilize the insecticide as a substrate.
The insecticides spinosad, diazinon, nitenpyram, lufenuron and dicyclanil did not induce any P450, GST or esterase gene expression after a short exposure to high lethal concentrations of insecticide.

The detoxication of the oxon forms of diazinon and chlorpyrifos is achieved by hydrolysis to the respective aromatic alcohols and diethyl phosphates primarily by paraoxonase 1 (PON1), a plasma enzyme tightly associated with high-density lipoprotein particles and also found in liver.
