Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors

AChEase is the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). Organophosphate compounds are irreversible inhibitors of AChEase while carbamate compounds are reversible inhibitors of AChEase.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors

The reaction between an organophosphate and the active site on AChEase (a serine hydroxyl group) results in the formation of an intermediate that undergoes partial hydroylsis with the loss of the "Z" group, leaving a stable, phosphorylated, permanently inhibited enzyme. Signs and symptoms are prolonged and persistent. Without intervention, the toxicity will persist until sufficient amounts of "new" AChEase are synthesized in 20 to 30 days.
17

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors

Carbamate compounds attach to the serine hydroxyl group, the "X" group is removed by hydrolysis forming a carbamylated enzyme, and then decarbamylation occurs regenerating free, active AChEase.

Carbamate pesticides are really just poor substrates for AChEase.

GABA-gated chloride channel antagonists

Gamma Amino Butyric Acid Agonist vs antagonist

Both are mimic Agonists often mimic the action of a naturally occurring substance (GABA). Whereas an agonist causes an action, an antagonist blocks the action of the agonist and an inverse agonist causes an action opposite to that of the agonist.

Chloride channels display a variety of important physiological and cellular roles that include regulation of pH, volume homeostasis, organic solute transport, cell migration, cell proliferation and differentiation

Prolonged Repolarization

alters the Na+ channels, they open normally but are closed (inactivated) slowly. All of these factors reduce the rate at which repolarization occurs and increase the sensitivity of the neurons to small stimuli that would not elicit a response in a fully repolarized neuron.

Mode of Action: Herbicides

Movement in the plant

Contact * Translocated *
Inhibit protein synthesis, photosynthesis, or growth

Action in the plant

Mode of Action: Contact Herbicide

One which causes injury to only the plant tissue to which it is applied, or one which is not appreciably translocated within a plant

Mode of Action: Translocated Herbicide

One which is moved within a plant from the point of application to the point of action; may be either phloem-mobile or xylem-mobile The term is often misapplied to include only foliar applied herbicides which move downward from the leaves to the roots

Mode of Action: Animal Poisons (incl. Insecticides)

Contact poison *
Systemic poison *
Attractants * Pheromones Baits

Repellants *

Mode of Action: Systemic Insecticide

Pesticide which is moved within a plant from the point of application to the point where the insect will contact or ingest it

Mode of Action: Attractants

Pesticide which lures animals to a predetermined spot Pheromones are biochemicals either released by the animal or synthesized which are sex attractants Baits are chemicals which entice animals for reasons other than sex (smells like food)

Return

Mode of Action: Repellants

Pesticide which discourages animals from coming to a specific area Many chemicals unrelated to sexual activity (due to smell or other physical characteristic) are repellant to animals Pheromones in low concentration are attractive to animals but, often, in high concentration become repellant
