Poisoning with the S-Alkyl organophosphorus insecticides profenofos and prothiofos.

QJM 102(11) , 785-92, (2009)

Many organophosphorus (OP) insecticides have either two O-methyl or two O-ethyl groups attached to the phosphorus atom. This chemical structure affects their responsiveness to oxime-induced acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivation after poisoning. However, se...

Development of a new extraction method based on counter current salting-out homogenous liquid-liquid extraction followed by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction: Application for the extraction and preconcentration of widely used pesticides from fruit juices.

Talanta 146 , 772-9, (2015)

In this paper, a new extraction method based on counter current salting-out homogenous liquid-liquid extraction (CCSHLLE) followed by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) has been developed for the extraction and preconcentration of widely used pe...

The role of methanol addition to water samples in reducing analyte adsorption and matrix effects in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1389 , 76-84, (2015)

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis coupled simply with water filtering before injection has proven to be a simple, economic and time-saving method for analyzing trace-level organic pollutants in aqueous environments. However, t...

Joint action of quercetin with four insecticides on the cotton leaf-worm larvae, Spodoptera littoralis Boisd. (Lep. : Noctuidae) in Egypt.

Commun. Agric. Appl. Biol. Sci. 72(3) , 445-57, (2007)

The naturally occurring phytoncidal chemical component of some plant- species are responsible for controlling and/or repelling insects from host plants. The use of natural products, readily available in the environment, to control the cotton leafworm, could b...

Residue behavior of combination mix formulations in/on bittergourd and their efficacy against melon fruitfly.

Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 89(6) , 1258-63, (2012)

Persistence behavior of three combination mix formulations of insecticides viz. chlorpyriphos + cypermethrin (Action-505), profenofos + cypermethrin (Roket 44EC) and triazophos + deltamethrin (Anaconda) and their bioefficacy against melon fruitfly were studie...

Isolation of an isocarbophos-degrading strain of Arthrobacter sp. scl-2 and identification of the degradation pathway.

J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 19(11) , 1439-46, (2009)

Isocarbophos is a widely used organophosphorus insecticide that has caused environmental pollution in many areas. However, degradation of isocarbophos by pure cultures has not been extensively studied, and the degradation pathway has not been determined. In t...

Dissipation of profenofos, imidacloprid and penconazole in tomato fruits and products.

Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 83(6) , 812-7, (2009)

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of some technological processes on the residual levels of profenofos, imidacloprid and penconazole in tomato fruits and products. According to their half-life (t (1/2)) values, tomato fruits can be safely ha...

Investigation on acute toxicity and behavioral changes in Channa punctatus (Bloch) due to organophosphate pesticide profenofos.

Drug Chem. Toxicol. 34(4) , 424-8, (2011)

Acute toxicity of an organophosphate pesticide profenofos (O-4-bromo-2- chlorophenyl-O-ethyl S-propyl phosphorothioate) to freshwater fish, Channa punctatus (Bloch), was studied in a static bioassay. Estimated 96-hour LC(50) of profenofos was found to be 2.68...

Toxicity of profenofos to the springtail, Folsomia candida, and ammonia-oxidizers in two agricultural soils.

Ecotoxicology 21(4) , 1126-34, (2012)

Extensive use of organophosphorus insecticide profenofos (PFF) for agricultural and house-hold purposes has led to serious environmental pollution, with potential risk to organisms in the ecosystem. This study examined the toxicity of PFF to the soil springta...

Evaluation of the acute toxicity of profenofos and its effects on the behavioral pattern of fingerling common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758).

Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 82(5) , 569-73, (2009)

Profenofos, an organophosphate insecticide is acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that has the potential to contaminate the ground water. The 96 h LC(50) value of profenofos was determined in 3-month-old fingerling common carp (Cyprinus carpio) with a body weight ...
