Temephos (Tem) is an organophosphorus pesticide widely used to kill and prevent the growth of the main vectors for the transmission of dengue, zika, and chikungunya viruses. In chlorinated water, Tern is oxidized to its dioxon-sulfoxide (Tern-dox-SO), dioxon-sulfone (Tern-dox-SO2), and sulfoxide (Tern-SO) derivatives; however, these compounds are not commercially available to be used as standards and in toxicological studies. In the present study, we synthesized and characterized the Tem-oxidation products and the compound 4,4'-sulfinyldiphenol. These compounds were obtained by a simple reaction between Tem or 4,4'-thiodiphenol with sodium hypochlorite or potassium periodate, and were characterized by IR, NMR, and U PLC-H RESIMS. The in vitro evaluation of inhibitory potency of Tem-oxidized products on human red blood cell acetylcholinesterase (RBC AChE) showed that Tem-dox-SO2 was the most potent inhibitor of human RBC AChE, and its effect was more pronounced than that observed for ethyl-paraoxon, a potent typical inhibitor of AChE. An HPLC-DAD method for the analysis of metabolic products of Tem was developed, which may be useful for monitoring in biological and environmental samples. The ability of Tern-oxidized metabolites to inhibit human RBC AChE suggests that the addition of Tern to chlorinated drinking water could result in an increase in the risk of RBC AChE inhibition after exposure.
