Laboratory sorption isotherm batch studies have been attempted to elucidate interaction of synthetic pyrethroids (bifenthrin and permethrin) with sediments and their fractions. As a nonlinear isothermal model, the Freundlich equation was applied to sorption results obtained from sediments to investigate the relationship between synthetic pyrethroids and sediments containing different amounts of organic carbon. Results demonstrated that the sorption capabilities of bifenthrin and cis- and trans-permethrin was in the order of bifenthrin, cis-permethrin and trans-permethrin, respectively, indicating that adsorbed bifenthrin was the most stable followed by cis- and trans-permethrin in all sediments. Their sorption capability was closely related to organic carbon contents in sediments. Higher sorption was observed in sediments containing higher organic carbon contents. Sorption study extended into the fractions, clay and humic acids, extracted from a sediment, indicated that higher sorption capacity in humic acids occurred than in the clay of both examined bifenthrin and permethrin. This study demonstrates the sorption of synthetic pyrethroids with sediments, and will help in the understanding of the transport and fate of synthetic pyrethroids existing in field sediments.

이 논문은 배추좀나방 방어시 피레스유제의 약효가 없어 피해를 많이 보았다는 농민의 민원에 의해 포장 약효를 확인하고 약제 저항성을 조사하여 대책을 수립코자 실시하였다. 전국 4개 도 7개 포장에서 2년간 실시한 시험 결과 대구에서는 95~98%의 방제가가 있었으나, 평택에서는 방제가가 0으로서 약효가 전혀 없었다. 피레스를 4회 살포하여 재배한 강원도 평창군의 여름배추 재배 농가 포장에서 공시약제 처리구의 유충 증가율은 489~552%로 무처리구에 비하여 방제효과가 전혀 없었다. 약효가 없었던 포장의 배추좀나방을 채집, 약제처리 하지 않고 6세대 사육한 것은 JMC와 거의 비슷한 감수성이 회복되었으며, 다시 6세대 피레스 로이드제를 처리하여 사육한 것은 JMC에 비하여 341~544배의 저항성이 다시 유발되었다. 이상의 결과로 농민의 민원은 같은 약제의 전용에 의하여 나타난 약제 저항성의 결과인 것으로 증명됨으로써, 우리나라에서도 배추좀나방의 피레스로이드제에 대한 저항성이 지역에 따라 많이 발생하고 있었고 피레스로이드제에 대한 약제 저항성은 전용에 의해 저항성이 증가하고 사용을 중단함으로써 감수성이 회복됨이 확인되었다.

The objectives of this study wre to investigate the effects of two synthetic pyrethroids, bifenthrin(BF) and permethrin(PM), in runoff and to evaluate the effects of suspended solids (SS) in the transport of pyrethroid along the drainage channel. Monitoring of BF and PM was conducted with the runoffs as well as in sediments existing along the drainage channel at a nursery site located in southern California, USA. This study also suggests Best Management Practices (BMPs) to alleviage the pollution caused by heavy usage of pyrethroid insecticides at nursery sites. Due to a high affinity to solid particles of pyrethroid insecticides, the concentrations of BF and PM were proportional to the SS contents along the drainage channel. This study suggests that alleviation of pyrethroids existing in runoffs could be controlled by the removal of suspended solids in runoffs and potential implications of current drainage channels for mitigation of pesticides associated with runoffs.

Many pesticides possess hormonal activity and have been thus classified as endocrine disruptors. Bioallethrin is one of the pyrethroids. synthetic derivatives of naturally occurring pyrethrins. These pyrethroids including bioallethrin have been developed as insectides due to their high insecticidal potency and low mammalian toxicity. Currently, bioallethrin is used to eradicate pests and insects in Korea, providing potential for human exposure. (omitted)

Pyrethroids are extensively used as insecticide in agriculture and home. Several studies have reported that yrethroids are relatively safe to humans and wildlife. However. some studies have suggested that pyrethroids ossess estrogen-like activity. Thus. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of pyrethroid ompounds on cell proliferation. and expression of ERs and pS2 using estrogen receptor positive human breast ancer cell line (MCF-7 BUS celis).

Synthetic pyrethroids are analysis of a natural chemical moiety, pyrethrin derived from the pyrethrum plant Chrysanthemum. The natural pyrethrin structure has been modified to be highly lipophilic and photostable, creating an effective pesticide and resulting in an increased presence in the environment. Worldwide, they are commonly used insecticides against ticks, mites, mosquitoes, and as treatment for human head lice and scabies. Therefore, human exposure to their compounds in extensive. Several studies on the effects of pyrethroids on thyroid hormone regulation, estrogen and androgen function have been reported and yet little has been done try assess their potential hormonal activities. Among humans, a pyrethroid compound was suggested to be the causal agent for gynecomastia in a group of Haitian men. The reports suggest that some pyrethroid compounds are capable of disrupting endocrine function. Therefore, we examined estrogenic/antiestrogenic potential of three pyrethroid insecticides, that is permethrin, allethrin and fenvalerate in human breast cancer cell and action mechanism mediated by the estrogen receptor. Fenvalerate showed weak estrogenic activity but aallethrin and permethrin showed no effect. In combination with high levels (10$^{-10}$ M, 10$^{-11}$ M) of 17$\beta$-estradiol and three synthetic pyrethroids inhibited cert proliferations in MCF7-BUS cell by 17$\beta$-estradiol. Whereas, fenvalerate increased cell proliferative activity at lower level of estradiol (10$^{-12}$ M, 10$^{-13}$ M). The relative affinities to the estrogen receptor were observed by allethrin and permethrin treatment, but not by fenvalerate. These results indicated that some of pyrethroid insecticides may modulate estrogen functions in human breast cancer cell. The action mechanisms of estrogen receptor mediated antiestrogenicity by allethrin and permethrin were postulated.

본 실험은 배추좀나방과 파밤나방 유충에 처리방법에 따른 살충 효과를 토대로 신경계를 작용점으로 하는 pyrethroid계 약제를 이용하여 신경반응을 비교해 보았다. 배추좀나방과 파밤나방 모두 충체분무처리시 세 약제에서 50%이하의 살충률을 나타내었다. 엽면침지시 배추좀나방은 50ppm에서 deltamethrin은 100%, fenvalerate는 80%의 살충률을 보였으며 permethrin은 63.3%로 나타났다. 하지만 파밤나방은 모든 농도에서 control과 비슷한 낮은 활성을 보여주었다. 세 약제가 배추좀나방과 파밤나방 유충 신경에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여 전기생리반응을 통해 신경감수성을 살펴본 결과, 배추좀나방은 deltamethrin은 $10^{-7}M$, fenvalerate는 $10^{-5}M$, permethrin은 $10^{-3}M$에서 높은 반응을 보였으며, 파밤나방은 이 세 약제에서 모두 둔감한 반응결과를 얻었다.

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling can provide an effective way to utilize in vitro and in silico based information in modern risk assessment for children and other potentially sensitive populations. In this review, we describe the process of in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) to develop PBPK models for a chemical in different ages in order to predict the target tissue exposure at the age of concern in humans. We present our on-going studies on pyrethroids as a proof of concept to guide the readers through the IVIVE steps using the metabolism data collected either from age-specific liver donors or expressed enzymes in conjunction with enzyme ontogeny information to provide age-appropriate metabolism parameters in the PBPK model in the rat and human, respectively. The approach we present here is readily applicable to not just to other pyrethroids, but also to other environmental chemicals and drugs. Establishment of an in vitro and in silico-based evaluation strategy in conjunction with relevant exposure information in humans is of great importance in risk assessment for potentially vulnerable populations like early ages where the necessary information for decision making is limited.
