Abstract:
:Cholinesterase activities in rat forebrain, erythrocytes, and plasma were assessed after a single oral administration of metrifonate or dichlorvos. In 3-month-old rats, the dichlorvos (10 mg/kg p.o.)induced inhibition of cholinesterase reached its peak in brain after l5-45 min and after 10-30 min in erythrocytes and plasma. Cholinesterase activity recovered rapidly after the peak of inhibition, but did not reach control values in brain and erythrocytes within 24 h after drug administration. The recovery of plasma cholinesterase activity, in contrast, was already complete 12 h after dichlorvos treatment. Metrifonate (100 mg/kg p.o.) had qualitatively similar inhibition kinetics as dichlorvos, albeit with a slightly delayed onset. Peak values were attained 45-60 min (brain) and 20-45 min (blood), after drug administration. Apparently complete recovery of cholinesterase activity was noted in both tissues 24 h after treatment. The dose-dependence of drug-induced inhibition of cholinesterase in rat blood and brain was determined at the time of maximal inhibition, i.e., 30 min after dichlorvos treatment and 45 min after metrifonate treatment. The oral ED(50) values obtained for dichlorvos were 8 mg/kg for brain and 6 mg/kg for both erythrocyte and plasma cholinesterase. The corresponding oral ED(50) values for metrifonate were 10 to 15 times higher, i.e., 90 mg/kg in brain and 80 mg/kg in erythrocytes and plasma. In rats deprived of food for 18 h before drug treatment, the corresponding ED(50) values for metrifonate were 60 and 45 mg/kg, respectively, indicating an about two-fold higher sensitivity of fasted rats to metrifonate-induced cholinesterase inhibition compared to non-fasted rats. Compared to 3-month-old rats, 19-month-old rats showed a higher sensitivity towards metrifonate and dichlorvos. At the time of maximal inhibition, there was a strong correlation between the degree of cholinesterase inhibition in brain and blood. These results demonstrate that single oral administration of metrifonate and dichlorvos induces an inhibition of blood and brain cholinesterase in the conscious rat in a dose-dependent and apparently fully reversible manner. While the efficiency of a given dose of inhibitor may vary with the satiety status or age of the animal, the extent of brain ChE inhibition can be estimated from the level of blood ChE activity.
