Microsomal Drug Metabolizing Enzymes in Insects

TL;DR: It is suggested that the presence of microsomal Drug Metabolizing Enzymes in Insects increases the likelihood that these enzymes are involved in the biosynthesis of drugs and therefore their role in drug abuse is increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of Methylenedioxyphenyl (1,3-Benzodioxole) Compounds with Enzymes and Their Effects on Mammals

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of Methylenedioxyphenyl (1,3-Benzodioxole) compounds with enzymes and their effects on Mammals is discussed.
Book ChapterDOI

The Function of Drosophila in Genetic Toxicology Testing

TL;DR: Recent findings suggest a striking overlap between the mutagenic and carcinogenic potential of chemicals that a distinction between the two tends to become an artificial one.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative metabolism of the Cecropia juvenile hormone

TL;DR: In vivo and in vitro studies revealed two additional metabolites produced by tissue homogenates in the presence of NADPH that are tentatively identified as the JH-tetrol metabolite in Cecropia, Thermobia, and Drosophila, and theJH-bisepoxide in Drosphila.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Book ChapterDOI

Biochemistry of Drug Oxidation and Reduction by Enzymes in Hepatic Endoplasmic Reticulum

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the biochemistry of drug oxidation and reduction by enzymes in hepatic endoplasmic reticulum, and the pharmacological effects of highly bound drugs, such as chlorpromazine, phenylbutazone, and thiopental.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mode of Action of Insecticide Synergists

TL;DR: The use of synergist with insecticide may well provide the most feasible way to pre­ vent the development of resistant races of pests, and the term, synergistic ratio, or SR will be used for LD60 of insecticide alone/LD5o of insecticides when applied together with the synergist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsomal mixed-function oxidases in insects—I: Localization and properties of an enzyme system effecting aldrin epoxidatton in larvae of the southern armyworm (Prodenia eridania)

TL;DR: An extremely active microsomal epoxidasc has been obtained from larvae of the southern armyworm and optimal assay conditions in vitro have been established and maximum enzyme activity is associated primarily with the larval mid-gut.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsomal metabolism of parathion

TL;DR: Both activation and degradation by microsomes required NADPH2 and O2, and were inhibited by SKF 525-A and insecticide synergists; the system was specific to parathion and did not degrade paraoxon.
