The organophosphorus insecticides have been known for many years to cause cholinergic crisis in humans as a result of the inhibition of the critical enzyme acetylcholinesterase. The interactions of the activated, toxic insecticide metabolites (termed oxons) with acetylcholinesterase have been studied extensively for decades. However, more recent studies have suggested that the interactions of certain anticholinesterase organophosphates with acetylcholinesterase are more complex than previously thought since their inhibitory capacity has been noted to change as a function of inhibitor concentration. In the present report, chlorpyrifos oxon (O,O-diethylO-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl) phosphate) was incubated with human recombinant acetylcholinesterase in the presence ofp-nitrophenyl acetate in order to better characterize kinetically the interactions of this oxon with enzyme. Determination of the dissociation constant,Kd, and the phophorylation rate constant,k2, for chlorpyrifos oxon with a range of oxon andp-nitrophenyl acetate concentrations revealed thatKd, but notk2, changed as a function of oxon concentration. Changes inp-nitrophenyl acetate concentrations did not alter these same kinetic parameters. The inhibitory capacity of chlorpyrifos oxon, as measured byki(k2/Kd), was also affected as a result of the concentration-dependent alterations in binding affinity. These results suggest that the concentration-dependent interactions of chlorpyrifos oxon with acetylcholinesterase resulted from a different mechanism than the concentration-dependent interactions of acetylthiocholine. In the latter case, substrate bound to the peripheral anionic site of acetylcholinesterase has been shown to reduce enzyme activity by blocking the release of the product thiocholine from the active site gorge. With chlorpyrifos oxon, the rate of release of 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol is irrelevant since the active site is not available to interact with other oxon molecules after phosphorylation of Ser-203 has occurred.
