23
Q

what does a low logP value mean for neonicotinoids

A

that it is not very lipophilic so less toxic

24
Q

how do first gen neonicotinoids work

A

nAChR overstimulation, desensitization, death

25
Q

how do second gen neonicotinoids work

A

poor nAChR agonist, full AChR agonist in periphery and maybe mAChR agonist

26
Q

what is the metabolite of first gen neonicotinoids

A

6-chloronicotinic acid

27
Q

what is the metabolite of second gen neonicotinoids

A

clothianidin

28
Q

what is clothianidin

A

metabolite of second gen neonicotinoids

29
Q

what is 6-chloronicotinic acid

A

metabolite of first gen neonicotinoids

30
Q

what causes bee colony collapse disorder

A

imidacloprid

31
Q

what is imidacloprid

A

first gen neonicotinoids

32
Q

what is an example of first gen neonicotinoids

A

imidacloprid

33
Q

what is the mechanism of phosphine

A

inhibits cyt c and ETC

34
Q

what results from phosphine

A

lipid peroxidation, protein denaturation, alveolar capillary damage

35
Q

how do biopesticides work

A

contain Cry and VIP genes

36
Q

what is the structure of Cry

A

1 domain forms a pore

2 domains affinity for gut carbs in insects

37
Q

how does cry work (5 steps)

A
1-attaches to cadherin in gut
2-binds to aminopeptidase receptor
3-proteolytic cleavage of cry toxin
4-pore into membrane
5-flux of K+ and sucrose, so water rushes in
38
Q

what are 3 treatments for OP

A

atropine, diazepam, pralidoxime

39
Q

what is the lipophilicity of OPs

A

high lipophilic

40
Q

where does DDT accumulate in our body

A

adipose

41
Q

what is acute DDT poisoning like + what causes death

A

unrest, tremors, seizors then maybe death resp failure

42
Q

what happens in type 1 pyrethroid syndrome (4)

A

aggressive, still tonic seizure, tremors, sensitive

43
Q

what happens in type 2 pyrethroid syndrome (4)

A

clonic seizures, choreostasis, salivation, burrowing

44
Q

what does chronic DDT do to you

A

increase liver weight (hepatic cell hypertrophy)

45
Q

what happens with dermal exposure of pyrethroid

A

some paresthesia but reverses

46
Q

what happens with chronic pyrethroid exposure + Does it cause cancer

A

mild liver enlargement, probably not teratogen or mutagen (so probably no cancer)

47
Q

what is a pyrethroid treatment

A

vitamin E

48
Q

is nicotine more toxic to mammals or insects

A

mammals

49
Q

what is the half life of nicotine in enviro

A

short

50
Q

what is the lipophilicity of nicotine + why

A

short bc protonated at neutral and low Ph

51
Q

what happens at the nithiazine binding site common to both insects and mammals

A

H bonding site

52

A

clothianidin

A

nausea, vomit, breathless, paresthesia, cardiac collapse

55
Q

what is the main type of biopesticies

A

bacillus thuringienis

56
Q

how do bugs die when they eat biopestidies

A

they die of stavation

57
Q

what is the alternative Cry mechanism (4)

A
  • toxin binds cadherin
