Abstract

The nephrotoxic potential of N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)succinimide (NDPS) was examined, in male Fischer-344 rats. Rats were administered NDPS (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 or 1.0 mmol/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.) or sesame oil (2.5 ml/kg, i.p.), and renal function was monitored at 24 and 48 h. NDPS (0.1 mmol/kg) stimulated organic ion uptake at 48 h. NDPS (0.2 mmol/kg produced diuresis but did not alter blood urea nitrogen (BUN), kidney weight or organic ion uptake by renal cortical slices at 48 h. High-dose NDPS (0.4 and 1.0 mmol/kg) administration produced diuresis, decreased accumulation of p-aminohippurate (PAH) and tetraethylammonium (TEA), increased BUN and kidney weight and caused acute tubular necrosis. At 24 h, NDPS (0.2 mmol/kg) decreased uptake of PAH and TEA and tended to increase BUN. These results are similar to previous reports of NDPS-induced nephrotoxicity in Sprague-Dawley rats and suggest that either rat model would be suitable for future studies on the mechanism(s) of NDPS-induced nephropathy.

    Dimethachlon has been detected in the environment and agricultural products (Zhang et al., 2010; Sun et al., 2018), however, the maximum residue level (MRL) values of dimethachlon in vegetables, fruits, and crops are still not defined. Previous studies showed that even at low dose levels (0.4 mmol kg−1), dimethachlon can cause marked nephrotoxicity in male rats and it could lead to nephrotoxic to rats after either acute or chronic administration (Rankin, 1982, 2004; Kellner-Weibel et al., 1995; Griffin et al., 1996; Rankin et al., 1985; Kennedy et al., 2003). Chen et al. found that 200 mg kg−1 dimethachlon can not only induce the production of vitellogenin in the blood of male Carassius auratus, but also can stimulate the production of vitellogenin in the liver of male Carassius auratus.

    Like other pesticides, NDPS enters into the environment and inevitably causes the surface runoff, leaching and distribution in water-soil systems after foliar spraying application due to its relatively high water solubility, which results in the environmental contamination and hence has the potential for the bioaccumulation through the food chain. The presence of NDPS in the ecosystem has received increasing attention because of its hazardous nature of toxic residues to non-target organisms including human beings [5–12]. However, no work has hitherto been conducted for the removal of dimethachlon.

    NDPS also possess antiandrogenic activity (Zhang et al., 2007). NDPS induces marked acute nephrotoxicity in male rats at ip doses of 0.4 mmol/kg or greater (Rankin, 1982, 2004; Rankin et al., 1984, 1985). Acute NDPS nephrotoxicity is characterized as polyuric renal failure with marked proximal tubular necrosis (Rankin, 2004).
