This study compared the maternal and fetal effects, including cholinesterase inhibition, following gestational exposure to six organophosphates: tribufos, oxydemeton-methyl, azinphos-methyl, fenamiphos, isofenphos, and fenthion in the Sprague-Dawley rat.

The first involves multi-generation reproduction studies with rats that were treated with OP insecticides (coumaphos, fenamiphos, tribufos, trichlorfon, or oxydemeton-methyl) through the diet and examined for effects, including cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition.

The toxicological relevance of known secondary OP targets is established mainly from observations with humans (butyrylcholinesterase and neuropathy target esterase-lysophospholipase) and studies with mice (cannabinoid CB1 receptor, carboxylesterase, lysophospholipase and platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase) and hen eggs (arylformamidase or kynurenine formamidase).
Pesticides most commonly shown to inhibit these targets in experimental vertebrates are chlorpyrifos and tribufos.

Mivacurium, a related nondepolarizing muscle relaxant also detoxified by butyrylcholinesterase, is likewise potentiated by at least threefold on 4 hour pretreatment with tribufos (25 mg/kg) or profenofos (10 mg/kg).

Five organophosphates: tribufos, oxydemeton-methyl, fenamiphos, coumaphos, and trichlorfon were evaluated for their potential to produce reproductive and neonatal toxicity following continuous dietary exposure during multigenerational reproduction toxicity studies in the Sprague-Dawley rat.
Significant inhibition of parental cholinesterase activities (plasma, erythrocyte, and brain) was similarly observed in both generations with all test compounds, with at least the highest concentrations.

Organophosphorus pesticide toxicology is normally evaluated in relation to inhibition of cholinesterases (acetyl and butyryl), neuropathy target esterase, and carboxylesterases, with less attention given to other physiologically important hydrolases.
Inhibitors that we examined are organophosphorus insecticides or their activated metabolites (paraoxon, chlorpyrifos oxon, and profenofos) and other toxicants (phenyl saligenin cyclic phosphonate and tribufos) for comparison with values that are found in the literature for the fluorophosphonates (isoflurophate and sarin).

Mouse blood and brain APH and blood butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are of similar sensitivity to DFP in vitro and in vivo (ip and vapor exposure), but APH inhibition is much more persistent in vivo (still > 80% inhibition after 4 days).
The inhibitory potency of OP pesticides in vivo in mice varies from APH selective (dichlorvos, naled, and trichlorfon), to APH and BChE selective (profenofos and tribufos), to ChE selective or nonselective (many commercial insecticides).
