15294458 Henderson MC, Krueger SK, Siddens LK, Stevens JF, Williams DE: S-oxygenation of the thioether organophosphate insecticides phorate and disulfoton by human lung flavin-containing monooxygenase 2. Biochem Pharmacol. 2004 Sep 1;68(5):959-67.

As the sulfoxide of phorate is a markedly less effective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor than the cytochrome P450 metabolites (oxon, oxon sulfoxide or oxon sulfone), humans possessing the FMO2*1 allele may be more resistant to organophosphate-mediated toxicity when pulmonary metabolism is an important route of exposure or disposition.

After 32 weeks of exposure animals were sacrificed and cryosections were processed for acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase (AChE and BChE, respectively) enzyme localization.

k2, Kd and ki, for 2 organophosphorus (Phorate and Formothion) and 2 carbamate pesticides (Mexacarbate and Carbaryl) using acetylcholinesterase present in homogenates of the nervous tissue of the snail Lymnaea acuminata, were determined.

Electrodiagnostic studies revealed single stimulus induced repetitive responses and decrement-increment responses at 30 and 50 Hz repetitive nerve stimulation, findings that are indicative of a depolarization block due to inactivation of acetylcholinesterase at the motor end-plate.
