5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

On single oral administration of each of (14)C-(1RS)-trans- and (1RS)-cis-cypermethrin labeled in the benzyl ring, the cyclopropane ring, or the CN group to male and female rats at 1-5 mg/kg, carbon-14 from the acid and alcohol moieties was rapidly and almost completely excreted into the urine and feces. The carbon-14 from the CN group was relatively slowly excreted in the urine and feces, the total recovery being 50-67%. The tissue residues of rats treated with the acid- or alcohol-labeled preparations were generally very low except for the fat (ca. 1 ppm). In contrast, the CN-labeled preparation showed relatively high residue levels, especially in the stomach (contents), intestines, and skin.

Krieger, R. (ed.). Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology. Volume 2, 2nd ed. 2001. Academic Press, San Diego, California., p. 1268


Dermal exposure to cypermethrin during spray application at up to 46 mg/hr led to an estimation that approximately 3% was absorbed.

Hayes, W.J., Jr., E.R. Laws, Jr., (eds.). Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology. Volume 2. Classes of Pesticides. New York, NY: Academic Press, Inc., 1991., p. 594


Exposure to cypermethrin & its absorption during aerial spraying of an ultra low volume formulation were studied. A contract pilot & mixer/loader at each of two commercial cotton farms in Mississippi were monitored for dermal exposure to cypermethrin during 12 aerial spray applications. Each operation consisted of 1 mixing/loading operation & 1 application of 50 gal of dilute spray soln for about 30 min. Three volunteer mixer/loaders collected their total urine output for 24 hr periods from 1 or 2 days before to 6 days after exposure. Absorption of cypermethrin was evaluated by determining cypermethrin urinary metabolites. All mixer/loaders wore protective equipment. Total potential & actual dermal exposures were estimated. Avg potential exposures (protected & exposed skin) were 1.07 & 10.5 mg/8 hr day (mg/day) for pilots & mixer/loaders, respectively. Actual skin exposures averaged 0.67 mg/day for pilots & 2.43 mg/day for mixer/loaders. 67% of the total potential exposures to pilots occurred on the hands. For the mixer/loaders, exposure involved primarily the arms, trunk, & hands, amounting to 37, 24, & 17% of total exposure, respectively. Absorption by mixer/loaders determined from analyses of urinary metabolites amounted to 46 to 78 ug cypermethrin equivalents per 3 mixed loads & per 12 simulated mixed loads. /It was/ concluded that exposure of pilots & mixer/loaders during aerial application of ultra low volumes is minimal. Only a small proportion of the cypermethrin that contacts the skin is absorbed.

Chester G et al; Arch of Environ Contam and Toxicol 16 (1): 69-78 (1987)


1. Dose excretion studies with cypermethrin (as a 1:1 cis/trans mixture) & alphacypermethrin (1 of the 2 disastereoisomer pairs which constitute cis cypermethrin) were carried out with, in each case, 2 volunteers/dose level. The studies included (a) single oral alphacypermethrin doses of 0.25 mg, 0.50 mg & 0.75 mg followed by repeated alphacypermethrin doses at the same levels, daily for 5 days, (b) repeated oral cypermethrin doses of 0.25 mg, 0.75 mg & 1.5 mg daily for 5 days, & (c) a single dermal application of 25 mg cypermethrin to the forearm. Urine was monitored for the free & conjugated 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid before & after dosing. 2. Metab & rate of excretion of a single oral dose of alphacypermethrin was similar to that of cis cypermethrin, on average, 43% of the dose was excreted as the cyclopropanecarboxylic acid in the first 24 hr urine. There was no incr in urinary metabolite excretion when alphacypermethrin was admin as a repeated oral dose. Subjects excreted, on average, 49% of the dose as the cyclopropanecarboxylic acid in the subsequent 24 hr periods after dosing. 3. There was no incr in the urinary cyclopropanecarboxylic acid excretion when cypermethrin was admin as a repeated oral dose. Subjects excreted, on average, 72% of the trans isomer dose & 45% of the cis isomer dose respectively in the subsequent 24 hr periods after dosing. 4. Approx 0.1% of the applied dermal dose of 25 mg cypermethrin was excreted within 72 hr as the urinary cyclopropanecarboxylic acid. No conclusions can be drawn from such urinary excretion data as to the concn of cypermethrin & its metabolites in the skin or other organs, or the possibility of other routes of metab or excretion.

5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

In the case of cypermethrin, the relative importance of an esterase attack as opposed to an oxidative one is more important than for permethrin; for trans-cypermethrin the ratio is 93.2% to 17.3% and for cis-cypermethrin 41.5% to 37.6% in the mouse system. In case of deltamethrin (which has only a cis-isomer) the ratio is 28.3% to 41%. Since the mouse system shows a high oxidative ratio, the above figures seem to indicate that esterase metabolism in these pyrethroids is at least as important as the oxidative ones.

Matsumura, F. Toxicology of Insecticides. 2nd ed. New York, NY: Plenum Press, 1985., p. 286


The major degradation pathway of cypermethrin is hydrolysis of the ester linkage to /yield ultimately/ 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid. (From the cis-isomer both cis- and trans- cyclopropanecarboxylic acids are found.) A minor degradative route is ring hydroxylation to give an alpha-cyano-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzyl ester followed by hydrolysis to produce the corresponding hydroxycarboxylic acid.

Aizawa, H. Metabolic Maps of Pesticides. New York, NY: Academic Press, 1982., p. 186


When administered to rats and mice, a large part of trans-cypermethrin was eliminated in urine in 24 hr. Under similar conditions, 80% of administered 3-phenoxybenzoic acid was eliminated. When cis-cypermethrin was administered, more was excreted via feces. The major urinary metabolite in mice, from trans-cypermethrin and 3-phenoxybenzoic acid, was identified with the aid of MS and NMR as N-(3-phenoxybenzoyl)taurine. A minor metabolite was identified as the sulfate of 3-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)benzoic acid. The taurine conjugate was not found in the rat urine. In rats, the major metabolite was the sulfate conjugate of 3-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-benzoic acid. Mouse liver microsomal + NADPH preparations hydroxylated trans- and cis-cypermethrin at the t- and c-methyl groups and the 4' and 5 positions. Hydroxylation at the 5 position of trans-cypermethrin was detected only with microsomes treated with tetraethyl pyrophosphate to inhibit esterase activity.

Menzie, C.M. Metabolism of Pesticides-Update III. Special Scientific Report- Wildlife No. 232. Washington, DC: U.S.Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, 1980., p. 471


The major metabolic reactions of trans- and cis-cypermethrin were cleavage of ester linkage, oxidation at the trans- and cis-methyl cyclopropane ring and at 4'-position of the phenoxy group, and conversion of the CN group to SCN ion. The following minor species differences were observed: (1) oxidation at 5- and 6-positions of the alcohol moiety was observed in mice but not in rats; (2) ester metabolites such as 2'-OH, 5-OH, and trans-OH,4'-OH-cypermethrin were detected in feces of mice but not of rats. The remarkable species difference in metabolites was the PBacid-taurine conjugate, which was the predominant metabolite in mice, but it was not detected in rats.

5.5 Mechanism of Action

Pyrethroid insecticides are synthetic neurotoxins patterned after the naturally occurring pyrethrins. Their mechanism of action is thought to involve effects primarily at the voltage-sensitive sodium channel of both insect & mammalian neurons, although recent studies have raised the possibility that these cmpds may also act at the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor-chloride ionophore complex. Here we show that active pyrethroids of the alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl class allosterically enhance the binding of (3)H-batrachotoxinin-A 20-alpha-benzoate to voltage-sensitive sodium channels of rat brain in a dose-dependent & stereospecific manner. Comparison of the rank order of potency for enhancement of (3)H-batrachotoxinin-A 20-alpha-benzoate binding & insecticidal activity in a series of toxic steroisomers of cypermethrin, representative of the class, reveals a correlation between the two measures. These results support a sodium channel site model for pyrethroid action & suggest a useful & practical method to help evaluate the relationship between the sodium channel & insecticidal potency for members of this class of cmpds.

Following absorption through the chitinous exoskeleton of arthropods, pyrethrins stimulate the nervous system, apparently by competitively interfering with cationic conductances in the lipid layer of nerve cells, thereby blocking nerve impulse transmissions. Paralysis and death follow. /Pyrethrins/

The efforts of this study were directed at defining the importance of esterases, mixed function oxidases and mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes in in vitro covalent binding of cismethrin and the two cyanopyrethroids, cypermethrin and deltamethrin to phenobarbital induced rat liver homogenate and microsomes. Each enzyme system was selectively inhibited to elucidate the activation mechanism involved. Piperonyl-butoxide and carbon-monoxide were used to inhibit mixed function oxidases. Tetraethylpyrophosphate inhibited esterase and trichloropropene-oxide inhibited epoxide-hydrolase. Potassium cyanide or rotenone was used to block the mitochondrial electron transport. The study demonstrated that covalent binding of cismethrin, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin was dependent on pyrethroid concentration. Inhibition of esterases and mitochondrial respiration only slightly altered the covalent binding level. Inhibition of cytochrome p450 and mixed function oxidases reduced the covalent binding, making it almost nonexistent. The covalent binding was decreased by 50% through an 80% inhibition of epoxide-hydrolase. In vitro, the comparison of data between alcohol and acid labeling of the same pyrethroid suggested that the whole molecule was bound to proteins in an activation process, perhaps epoxidation, and that hydrolysis could only occur afterwards. The role of cytochrome p450 dependent monooxygenases in the covalent binding process was stressed.

Interaction with sodium channels is not the only mechanism of action proposed for the pyrethroids. Their effects on the CNS have led various workers to suggest actions via antagonism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibition, modulation of nicotinic cholinergic transmission, enhancement of noradrenaline release, or actions on calcium ions. Since neurotransmitter specific pharmacological agents offer only poor or partial protection against poisoning, it is unlikely that one of these effects represents the primary mechanism of action of the pyrethroids, & most neurotransmitter release is secondary to incr sodium entry. /Pyrethroids/
