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

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
