RESUMEN

Median lethal dose (LD50) of undiluted liquid insect repellent N,N-diethylphenylacetamide (DEPA) in male mice, rats and rabbits was 900, 825 and 635 mg/kg respectively when administered by gavage. Signs of DEPA intoxication point to stimulation of central nervous system (CNS). Acetazolamide (10 mg/kg), sodium bicarbonate (40 mg/kg), and atropine (5 mg/kg) when injected (ip) 5 min after a lethal oral dose of DEPA (1700 mg/kg) did not prevent mortality, while sodium pentobarbital (SPB; 20 mg/kg) when injected 5 min after or 15 min before DEPA provided greater protection to the animals. SPB pretreatment elevated the LD50 of DEPA to 1780 and 1535 mg/kg in mice and rats respectively and 85% rats survived when SPB was injected 5 min after acute oral exposure to DEPA (1000 mg/kg). Carboxylesterase (CaE) inhibition is not a factor in the protection mechanism of SPB. DEPA (1000 mg/kg) when given orally elevated blood PCO2 and reduced pH, O2 content and per cent O2 saturation, while administration of SPB after the same dose of DEPA reduced the degree of acidosis and raised PCO2, and increased the O2 content and per cent O2 saturation to near normal status. The CNS depressant action of SPB may be a crucial factor in protection of rats from DEPA poisoning.

RESUMEN

Cholinesterase (ChE) activity in the blood serum of rats was elevated to 15, 25, and 45 times by the sc administration of 1000, 2000 and 3000 electric eel acetylcholinesterase (AChE) units respectively. Apparently no ill-effect to animals was observed. The maximal activity of the enzyme occurred in 90 min after its administration and was directly proportional to the administered dose. The increase activity of ChE in the serum on the exogenous administration of AChE persisted for 18 hr. The exogenously raised serum ChE, protected rats against lethal dose of dichlorvos, but not against lethal dose of soman. The possible mechanism of differential response in discussed.

RESUMEN

Activities of enzymes cholinesterase (ChE) and carboxylesterase (CaE) were assayed in serum, liver microsomes and three regions of brain, viz; cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem (with mid brain) in male albino rats at 0.5 and 2 h periods after administration of 1/2 LD 50 dose of soman (0.22 mg/kg) intraperitoneally in olive oil as vehicle. At 0.5 h, in serum, ChE activity declined to 33% of its initial level whereas CaE activity was almost completely inhibited. However, in the liver microsomes at this period, ChE activity was greatly inhibited (18% of initial level) whereas CaE activity was nearly unaffected. At 2 h period, both the enzymes in the serum were almost completely inhibited. In the brain regions (excepting in cerebellum), both the enzymes were nearly similarly inhibited (by 55% to 65% of the initial level) at both the periods. The time related differential response of these two beta-esterases in acute soman intoxication probably occurred in the peripheral tissues like blood and liver but not in the CNS.
