Lee PW, Fukuto TR: Penetration and comparative metabolism of leptophos in susceptible and resistant houseflies. Arch Environ Contam Toxicol. 1976;4(4):443-55.
The metabolism and rate of penetration of leptophos (O-methyl O-4-bromo-2,5-dichlorophenyl phenylphosphonothioate) was determined in a susceptible strain and a strain of housefies which was 50-fold resistant to leptophos. Penetration of leptophos into resistant flies was substantially slower than into susceptible flies but large differences in metabolism, both quantitatively and qualitatively, were not observed. No difference was observed in the sensitivity of flyhead and thorax acetylcholinesterase to leptophos-oxon in vitro, and tolerance to leptophos by the resistant strain is explained in terms of decreased rates or penetration and minor differences in metabolism. |
