Substrates are pyrethroid surrogates: compound 1 for esfenvalerate, 2 for fenvalerate, 3 for cypermethrin, 4 for deltamethrin, 5 for trans λ-cyhalothrin, 6 for cis λ-cyhalothrin, 7 for phenothrin, and 8 for fenpropathrin.
Activity is in nmol/min/mg protein using a commercial porcine esterase. No significant hydrolysis activity of the substrates (1-8) could be detected with any of the fish tissues examined in this study. Data are the average of 3 independent determinations ± the standard deviation.
