Abstract

The chiral pesticide fipronil is employed as a racemic mixture to control pests. Although there are no enantioselective differences in the fipronil enantiomer activities toward target organisms, fipronil enantiomers may exhibit enantioselective differences in their bioaccumulation, toxicity, and metabolism toward non-target organisms, including humans. The present work aims to provide significant reliable enantioselective information concerning fipronil risk assessment in humans. For that, the in vitro metabolism of rac-fipronil, S-fipronil, and R-fipronil by human liver microsomes was evaluated, the in vivo enantioselective toxicokinetic parameters were predicted and the main CYP450 isoforms involved in the enantioselective metabolism were determined. The obtained results demonstrated that fipronil may undergo a clearance by the liver and it is exclusively metabolized by the CYP3A4 isoform. Although no significative stereoselective differences were observed, the results provide reliable information on fipronil risk assessment for humans. (AU)
