Molecular Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) have been used for recognition and binding of different compounds. We are developing MIPs to selectively bind organophosphate pesticides and toxic chemical warfare nerve agents. MIPs were made to the pesticide Dichlorvos. Control MIPs were made without the template. Dichlorvos-MIPs bound more Dichlorvos in comparison to control-MIPs. The Dichlorvos-MIPs can b...

The anti-influenza drug oseltamivir is an ester prodrug activated by hepatic carboxylesterases. Plasma esterases also convert up to 31.8% of the parent compound to the active metabolite after 4 h ex vivo, with wide interindividual variation. This source of error is removed by adding the esterase inhibitor dichlorvos to blood collection tubes.

The possible genotoxic activity of Dichlorvos (2,2-Dichlorovinyl-O,O-dimethyl phosphate/DDVP, CAS No. 62-73-7), an organophosphorus insecticide was investigated employing three cytogenetic end points, i.e. micronucleus (MN) assay, mitotic indices (MI) and chromosome abberation (CA) analysis in vivo. The assays were carried out in hematopoietic bone marrow cells of Mus musculus at concentrations...

During storage, soybean kernels can be attacked by insects, which are preventively controlled with insecticides. Information on the dissipation of insecticide residues is crucial to know their final concentrations in food and establish waiting periods necessary for consumption without health risks, determine minimum period comply national international standards. The aims this study were quanti...

in order to determine the level of residual dichlorvos pesticide on strawberry fruits in research greenhouse conditions in crop year of 2011-2012, a study was carried out in education and research center for greenhouse productions of islamic azad university of khorasgan of isfahan. factorial experiment was carried out based on a completely randomized design with two factors of pesticide consump...
