ABSTRACT: Detoxification (detox) plays a major role in pesticide action and resistance. The
2
mechanisms involved are sometimes part of the discovery and development process in seeking
3
new biochemical targets and metabolic pathways. Genetically- and chemical safener- modified
4
crops are a marked exception and often involve herbicide detox by design to achieve the required
5
crop tolerance. This perspective evaluates the role of detox by design or chance and target site-
6
based selectivity in insecticide, herbicide, and fungicide action and human health and
7
environmental effects.

INTRODUCTION
9
Pesticide effectiveness and safety depend upon target site selectivity and detoxification (detox) at
10
the right time and place, a very large topic involving nearly a thousand pesticides1 acting by
11
around 100 mechanisms2 in a broad range of organisms. Pesticides are mostly detoxified by
12
oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis (phase I metabolism) to give modified functional groups that
13
are conjugated for excretion or deposition (phase II metabolism) (Figure 1).3 Among the detox
14
enzymes are cytochrome P450s (CYPs) which add oxygen at sensitive sites, hydrolases which
15
cleave esters and epoxides, glutathione (GSH) S-transferases (GSTs) which catalyze GSH
16
addition to thiol-sensitive sites and various glucosyl- or glucuronosyltransferases which couple
17
hydroxyl and carboxyl groups with polar glucoside or glucuronide substituents.4, 5 The detox
18
enzymes recognize substrates to oxidize, reduce, hydrolyze, or conjugate independent of the
19
molecular features conferring toxicity. Four related topics are considered and illustrated with
20
well-studied examples. The first is detox-based selectivity and pest resistance for insecticides (1-
21
6), herbicides (7-10), and fungicides (11-14) (Table 1). The second is target site-based selectivity
22
and pest resistance which are major goals in pesticide design. The third is crop tolerance
23
involving expressed enzymes (15-18) or chemical safener-induced herbicide detox enzymes (20
24
for 19, 22 for 21 and 24 for 23), the only real detox by design (Table 2). The final topic relates
25
detox to humans and the environment considering pesticide mechanisms and chemotypes (Figure
26
2).
27
DETOX-BASED SELECTIVITY AND PEST RESISTANCE (Table 1)
28
Insecticides. Indoxacarb (1) is highly toxic to insects relative to mammals due to activation by an
29
insect carboxyamidase to the decarbomethoxylated oxadiazine acting as a voltage-dependent
30
blocker of insect Na+-dependent action potentials.6 Malathion (2)7 and tetramethrin (3)8

31
selectivity is attributable to their more rapid detox by hydrolysis in mammals than insects.
32
Acephate (4) is activated by carboxyamidase hydrolysis followed by sulfoxidation in insect pests
33
(house flies), whereas in mammals (mice) the deacetylated product (methamidaphos) inhibits the
34
deacetylase leading to detox favored over activation.9 Detox-based pest resistance involves
35
hydrolysis of dimethoate (5) in melon aphids10 and CYP6CMIvQ oxidation of imidacloprid (6)
36
to 5-hydroxy-6 in whiteflies.11 Insecticide resistance in mosquitoes can be monitored by a
37
microarray containing unique detox genes on “detox chips.”12 This ingenious approach is limited
38
by knowledge of the mechanisms for the hundreds of resistant insect-insecticide combinations.
39
Herbicides. Propanil (7) is less toxic to rice than to annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds
40
because the crop has a detoxifying aryl acylamidase which is very effective except following
41
organophosphate and methylcarbamate insecticide inhibition.13 Isoxaflutole (8) undergoes
42
isoxazole conversion to the phytotoxic diketonitrile derivative faster in weeds than in rice
43
resulting in activation selectivity.14 Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (9) resistance in some populations of
44
black-grass results from enhanced metabolism.15 Chlorotoluron (10) resistance in annual
45
ryegrass involves N-methyl oxidation and then hydrolysis of the resulting urea.16
46
Fungicides. Dinobuton (11) is highly toxic to fungi due to hydrolase activation17 but less so to
47
mammals1 that detoxify by metabolism at other substituents. Triadimenol (12) undergoes
48
selective activation by oxidation to triadimefon in several species of fungi.18 Fungal resistance to
49
carbendazim (13) is usually due to selection for target site insensitivity but a 13 hydrolase is
50
described for Mycobacterium sp. SD-4.19 Fenhexamid (14) resistance in grey mold is based on
51
CYP684 oxidation.20
52
TARGET SITE-BASED SELECTIVITY AND PEST RESISTANCE
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
53
The goal of much of pesticide design is to achieve target site selectivity and avoid or circumvent
54
the development of resistant pests.
55
Insecticides. Most of the current insecticides have undergone pest selection for low sensitivity
56
leading to the continuing need for new target sites. Insect development is programmed by
57
juvenile hormones and differentiation hormones (ecdysones) with no counterpart in mammals.
58
Juvenoids and ecdysonoids provide excellent control of populations synchronized by
59
developmental stage but the damage resulting from their slow action is often unacceptable.
60
Inhibitors of chitin synthesis are ideal for selective toxicity but again are often unacceptably slow
61
in their action. Respiratory poisons such as rotenone have been used for over a century in pest
62
insect control but sometimes with selectivity problems. Nerve and muscle poisons are the major
63
insecticides working on the GABAergic, glutaminergic, cholinergic and Na+ channel systems or
64
the Ca++-activated Ca++ channel. Target site-based resistance involves mutations in the specific
65
binding sites (AChE, GABA-R, Glu-R, nAChR, and VGSC; see abbreviations) lowering
66
sensitivity to whole classes of insecticides21 or in the detox mechanisms. In each of these cases
67
some compounds have adequate insect/mammal target site selectivity while safety for others
68
comes from detox.
69
Herbicides. Many target sites important in plants are not represented in mammals and other
70
animals. The most obvious ones are photosynthesis and carotenoid, amino acid and phytosterol
71
biosynthesis in plants only. The pathways of sterol and cell wall synthesis differ in insects,
72
plants, and fungi providing important targets for selectivity. Inhibitors of photosystem II and of
73
acetohydroxyacid synthase (also named as acetolactate synthase) act only in plants. The most
74
important herbicide glyphosate (15) blocks 5-enolpyruvoylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP)
75
synthase (EPSPS) in plants with no equivalent site in mammals. Despite this target site
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 5 of 20
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
76
specificity glyphosate is still of concern as a purported human carcinogen and restricted or
77
banned in some countries.
78
Fungicides. Target site-based selectivity for fungicides involves sterol and chitin biosynthesis by
79
systems somewhat different than those of other organisms. The four fungicides used in by far the
80
largest amounts are sulfur, mancozeb, copper salts, and chlorothalonil, all thiol-reactive
81
categorized as multisite (multiple target site) in their action and less likely to undergo selection
82
for resistance than the specific site fungicides.21
83
CROP TOLERANCE BY DESIGN (Table 2)
84
Herbicides are intended to kill weeds without damaging crops. This requires crop/weed
85
selectivity in the target or in detox or a combination which serves as the basis for most
86
genetically-modified (GM) crops. The far most important example is glyphosate (15) tolerance
87
in corn, soybean, and some other crops conferred in part by glyphosate oxidase (GOX) but
88
mostly by overexpression of a GM-modified EPSPS target.22 These “Roundup Ready” GM crops
89
are accepted in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and many other countries but not in Japan or Europe.
90
Glufosinate (16) tolerant crops express an N-acetyltransferase for detoxification.23 2,4-D (17)
91
tolerance comes from an aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase24,25 and dicamba (18) tolerance from an
92
expressed dicamba O-demethylase.26 Toxicological data on the GM herbicide-tolerant crops do
93
not reveal any significant toxicity problem so the issue becomes natural versus GM foods, which
94
continues as a heated debate. Crop tolerance without altered weed sensitivity can be achieved by
95
addition of herbicide safeners [dichlormid for EPTC (20 and 19),27 benoxacor for metolachlor
96
(22 and 21)28 and isoxadifen-ethyl for nicosulfuron (24 and 23)29] that induce herbicide-
97
detoxifying GSH synthesis and GST activity in corn, barley and a few other crops.27,28 Although
98
the induction mechanism and species selectivity are only partially understood for the chemical
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
99
safeners29, this is a more acceptable approach for some biologists than crop protection by
100
expression of foreign genes.
101
DETOX RELATIVE TO PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
102
Maintaining a balance. We have learned to produce food for an expanding population and to live
103
with much reduced insect-transmitted malaria, yellow fever, and plague, and enjoy the associated
104
relief from hunger, disease and anxiety. Each decade starting in the mid-20th century brought
105
major changes in insecticides with the chlorinated hydrocarbons of the 1940s, the
106
organophosphates of the 1950s, the methylcarbamates of the 1960s, the pyrethroids of the 1970s,
107
the phenylpyrazoles of the 1980s, the neonicotinoids of the 1990s and the ryanodine receptor
108
activators (phthalic and anthranilic diamides) of the 2000s.30 Similar changes have occurred for
109
the herbicides and fungicides. Many pesticides were used for years then withdrawn as
110
unfavorable toxicology became apparent or safer and more effective replacements were found.
111
These superseded compounds are nearly equal in numbers to the currently used pesticides.1 DDT
112
taught us the lesson of too much pesticide is not a good thing. Four billion pounds, slow
113
breakdown and passage through food chains could not be tolerated. Pesticides must be regulated.
114
They must be assumed dangerous until proven otherwise. The pesticide era and the “Silent
115
Spring” of Rachel Carson31 opened our eyes to the need to maintain natural systems as sacred
116
rights for the future. Some organisms and ecosystems are at particular risk. The honeybee and
117
monarch butterfly are of major current concern. We seek a balance of nature that is sustainable
118
for people and much of the environment. With increasing numbers of people and fewer natural
119
areas a decision must be made on where to draw the line now and in the future.
120
Mechanisms and chemotypes. Target site resistance and pesticide replacements mean people will
121
inevitably be exposed to pesticides acting on new targets already well understood or potentially
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
122
poorly defined. The list of pesticide-selective targets has expanded little in recent years. New
123
genomic, proteomic, and other omic techniques reveal new candidate targets as do novel
124
biochemical mechanisms discovered in microorganisms, fruit flies, zebra fish and genetic
125
expression systems. The increased use of molecular modeling and precision of structural target
126
site structures open new vistas in substituent replacements. Biodegradability then becomes an
127
important consideration.
128
Detox by design (Figure 2). Detox by design can involve changing the chemical substituents of
129
the pesticide or changing the organism. The classical substituent changes alter the toxicity
130
(toxophore) or detoxification/activation (detoxophore). Further changes may attempt to
131
overcome resistance or confer safety for crops, people or the environment (selectophore). The
132
organism can be changed by formulation additives to improve the penetration, synergists to
133
increase the toxicity, or safeners to prevent the toxicity such as of herbicides to crops. The largest
134
change is to genetically modify the organism such as the crop by introducing a less sensitive
135
overexpressed target site alone or with a detox enzyme. Detox by design also applies to the
136
environment. Photodecomposition plays a major role in the fate of pesticides in the environment.
137
Pesticides binding in soils and contaminating water are often difficult to remove. Microbial detox
138
of polluted soils and water can supplement physical methods of removal but there are often a
139
series of metabolites in the process of mineralization. Some residues however have negligible
140
bioavailability. Challenges remain in finding suitable toxophores, detoxophores, and
141
selectophores so that the benefits of pest control can be more fully realized in a balance with
142
minimal
nontarget
toxicity
and

perception.
