General description

Leptophos, an organophosphorus insecticide found to be persistent in the environment, shows neurotoxic effects in humans. Its mode of action for pest control involves the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase enzyme activity.

Application

Leptophos may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in vegetables using solid phase micro-extraction coupled with gas chromatography-flame photometric detector (SPME-GC-FPD).

The oxidative desulfuration of the three phosphorothionate insecticides--chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, and leptophos--was studied in rat brain and liver. Hepatic microsomes demonstrated activities of 4-28 nmol/g/min, with male activity 2- to 4-fold higher than female activity. Very low desulfuration activity of all
