Enantioselective in vitro metabolism and in vitro-in vivo correlation of the herbicide ethofumesate in a human model

Ethofumesate (ETO) is a chiral herbicide that is marketed as a racemic mixture in the European Union and the United States. The growing consumption of pesticides in the world, along with their presence in water and food, has increased human exposure to these chemicals. Another issue concerning these compounds is that each enantiomer of a chiral pesticide may interact with biomolecules differently. For this reason, this study aimed to investigate the in vitro metabolism of ethofumesate (the racemic mixture as well as the isolated enantiomers) by human liver microsomes (HLM) and to explore the in vitro-in vivo correlation. Before the kinetics was determined, the method was fully validated by evaluating its selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, carryover, and stability. All the evaluated parameters agreed with the European Medicines Agency guideline. The enzyme kinetic parameters and the in vitro-in vivo correlation demonstrated that there was no enantioselective difference for the metabolism and bioavailable fraction of each enantiomer. The enzyme kinetics was biphasic; the KM1 values were 15, 5.8, and 5.6 for rac-ETO, (+)-ETO, and (–)-ETO, respectively. The total in vitro intrinsic clearance was 0.10 mg mL min?1 mg?1 for rac-ETO and its enantiomers. The enantiomer (–)-ETO was only metabolized by CYP2C19, while (+)-ETO was metabolized by both CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. CYP2C19 polymorphism and/or inhibition may represent a risk for humans exposed to this pesticide.

Enantioseparation of typical pesticides using cellulose carbamate stationary phases by capillary liquid chromatography

Cellulose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) was initially synthesized as the chiral selector, then stable coated and bonded chiral stationary phases were prepared, respectively, using aminopropyl-functionalized silica gel as the support media. The prepared stationary phases were used for micro-column chiral separation by self-installed capillary high performance liquid chromatography system. Eighteen kind of chiral compounds including some typical pesticides were tested on both prepared chiral stationary phases and different chromatographic parameters such as resolution and retention time were comparatively investigated.

USE OF GLYCEROL ETHERS AS ACTIVATORS OF THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF A HERBICIDE, FUNGICIDE OR INSECTICIDE SUBSTANCE

The invention relates to the use of glycerol ethers as agents that activate the biological effects of at least one substance selected from a herbicide, fungicide or insecticide. The invention essentially relates to the use of glycerol ether as an agent that activates the biological effects of at least one substance selected from a herbicide, or fungicide or insecticide, said glycerol ether having formula (1), wherein R1 represents an alkyl group having between 1 and 18 carbon atoms and R2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having between 1 and 18 carbon atoms, preferably a methyl or ethyl group. The invention also relates to a phytosanitary composition containing one such glycerol ether, as well as to a phytosanitary treatment method using said composition.

Substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt, process for preparing the same, and herbicide containing the same

A substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt represented by the following general formula (I): STR1 wherein A is CH or N; when A is CH, R1 and R2 may be either each independently a member selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted or substituted alkyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted cycloalkyl groups, and unsubstituted or substituted phenyl groups; when A is N, R1 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, R2 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, or an unsubstituted or substituted alkoxy group; and X and Y are each independently a member selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and alkoxy groups, is disclosed. This compound is useful as the effective ingredient of a herbicide showing a wide weed-control spectrum even if used in a small amount.
