Product Data
Biological target:
Quinalphos is an EC 3.1.1. (carboxylic ester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of enzyme acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7), which helps breaking down of acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid.
In vitro activity:
Quinalphos is known to induce various toxic effects in nontarget species and experimental animals. In this study, the tumorigenic potential of Quinalphos was evaluated following topical exposure in Swiss albino mice. Long-term animal bioassays revealed that Quinalphos has only tumour-initiating potential at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight. Quinalphos exposure failed to produce neoplasia when tested for complete carcinogenic activity at all three tested dose levels or tumour promoting activity. Reference: Cancer Lett. 2000 Jan 1;148(1):1-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10680586/
In vivo activity:
The effect of quinalphos on blood esterases was investigated in male buffalo calves. Quinalphos markedly inactivated serum carboxylesterase (69-90%) and plasma cholinesterase activity (75-88%). The results suggest that quinalphos is an effective inhibitor of blood esterases in vivo and its repeated exposure to buffaloes may impair detoxification of organophosphorus insecticides that are mainly biodegraded by carboxylesterase enzyme.
