Aqueous solutions of chlorpyrifos oxon are used to study the ability of chlorpyrifos oxon to catalyze protein crosslinking. Assays for protein crosslinking can avoid artifacts by using information on the stability of chlorpyrifos oxon in solution. We undertook to determine the half-life of chlorpyrifos oxon in aqueous solution because literature values do not exist. The rate of conversion of chlorpyrifos oxon to 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol was measured at 23 °C in 20 mM TrisCl pH 8 and pH 9 by recording loss of absorbance at 290 nm for chlorpyrifos oxon and increase in absorbance at 320 nm for 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol. The half-life of chlorpyrifos oxon was 20.9 days at pH 8 and 6.7 days at pH 9. Literature reports for the stability of other organophosphorus toxicants were summarized because our current studies suggest that other organophosphorus toxicants are also crosslinking agents.

Article Synopsis
- Insecticide resistance in agricultural pests threatens the effectiveness of pest control strategies, and recent research points to odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as key players in this resistance.
- Eleven OBPs were identified in Nilaparvata lugens, with OBP5 showing high expression in the head and a significant role in chlorpyrifos resistance, where its knockdown increased susceptibility to the insecticide.
- The study confirmed that OBP5 binds to chlorpyrifos and its metabolite, with a specific amino acid crucial for this process, suggesting that targeting OBP5 may help in managing resistance by limiting the binding and sequestering of insecticides.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers found low levels of resistance to the OP insecticide phoxim in 12 populations from northern China in 2022 and identified three amino acid substitutions (A201S, G227E, and F290V) in the ace-1 gene through amplicon sequencing of over 13,000 moths.
- * Biochemical tests showed that the A201S and F290V mutations enhanced resistance to chlorpyrifos-oxon, while G227E

In this study, we investigated the role of two efflux transporters, p-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), in the cytotoxicity and intracellular accumulation of the organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) and its active metabolite, CPF-oxon (CPFO), in a human-derived liver cell line (HepG2) and kidney epithelial cell line (HK-2). The cytotoxicity to CPF and CPFO differed between cell lines where HK-2 had lower IC50 values which could be attributed to lower basal expression and inducibility of metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and nuclear receptors in HK-2 cells. In HepG2 cells, co-exposure of CPF with a specific inhibitor of either P-gp or BCRP enhanced the cytotoxicity of CPF while co-exposure of CPFO with VRP enhanced the cytotoxicity of CPFO, suggesting the role of these transporters in the elimination CPF and CPFO.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the organophosphorus pesticides widely used throughout the world. Epidemiological studies suggested a link between CPF exposure and neurologic disorders, while the molecular mechanisms remain inconclusive. In the present study, we investigated the impacts of chlorpyrifos-oxon (CPO), the major toxic CPF metabolite, on cell apoptosis, and explored possible mechanism associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in SH-SY5Y cells.
