title: Structural requirements for the inhibition of phthalate ester hydrolysis in rainbow trout by methylenedioxyphenyl compounds.
abstract: 1. The ability of a number of methylenedioxyphenyl compounds and paraoxon to inhibit the hydrolysis and oxidation of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate by rainbow trout tissue preparations was examined. 2. In addition to paraoxon, only the methylenedioxyphenyl compounds with long side-chains (piperonyl butoxide and tropital) inhibited the hydrolysis of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate by trout liver subcellular fractions and trout serum. 3. Paraoxon decreased the production of the major metabolite of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate by trout liver microsomes (+ NADPH) suggesting that this metabolite arises via further metabolism of mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate.
