Metabolite Identification
Common NameTrichlorfon
DescriptionMetrifonate, also known as trichlorfon or methyl chlorophos, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkyl alkylphosphonates. Dialkyl alkylphosphonates are compounds containing a phosphonic acid that is diesterified with alkyl groups, and the phosphorus atom is also directly attached to an alkyl group. Nerve gases and many substances used in insecticides have been shown to act by binding a serine in the active site of acetylcholine esterase, inhibiting the enzyme completely. Metrifonate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Metrifonate is a potentially toxic compound. It is a prodrug which is activated non-enzymatically into 2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate. Increasing muscle weakness is a possibility and may result in death if respiratory muscles are involved. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Trichlorfon is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Trichlorfon is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
