Organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides are common contaminants in cannabis. Due to the status of cannabis as an illicit Schedule I substance at the federal level, there are no unified national guidelines in the United States to mitigate the health risk of pesticide exposure in cannabis. Here, we examined the change in the state-level regulations of organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides in cannabis. The medians of pyrethroid and organophosphate pesticides specified by each state-level jurisdiction increased from zero pesticide in 2019 to 4.5 pyrethroid and 7 organophosphate pesticides in 2023, respectively. Next, we evaluated the potential connections between pyrethroids, organophosphates, cannabinoids, and Parkinson's disease using the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). Eleven pyrethroids, 30 organophosphates, and 14 cannabinoids were associated with 95 genes to form 3,237 inferred and curated Chemical-Gene-Phenotype-Disease tetramers. Using a behavioral repulsion assay with the whole organism model Caenorhabditis elegans, we examined the effect of cannabinoids and insecticides on depleting dopamine synthesis. Exposure to chlorpyrifos and permethrin, but not Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), results in dose-dependent effects on 1-nonanol repulsive behaviors in C. elegans, indicating dopaminergic neurotoxicity (P < 0.01). Dose-dependent effects of chlorpyrifos are different in the presence of Δ9-THC and CBD (P < 0.001). As a proof of concept, this study demonstrated how to use new approach methodologies such as C. elegans and the CTD to inform further testing and pesticide regulations in cannabis by chemical class.
有机磷酸酯类和拟除虫菊酯类农药是大麻中常见的污染物。由于大麻在联邦层面属于非法的一类管制物质,美国没有统一的国家指南来降低大麻中农药暴露的健康风险。在此,我们研究了各州关于大麻中有机磷酸酯类和拟除虫菊酯类农药法规的变化。每个州级司法管辖区规定的拟除虫菊酯类和有机磷酸酯类农药的中位数分别从2019年的零种农药增加到2023年的4.5种拟除虫菊酯类农药和7种有机磷酸酯类农药。接下来,我们使用比较毒理基因组学数据库(CTD)评估了拟除虫菊酯类、有机磷酸酯类、大麻素类与帕金森病之间的潜在联系。11种拟除虫菊酯类、30种有机磷酸酯类和14种大麻素类与95个基因相关联,形成了3237个推断和整理的化学物质-基因-表型-疾病四聚体。我们使用全生物体模型秀丽隐杆线虫进行行为排斥试验,研究了大麻素类和杀虫剂对多巴胺合成消耗的影响。暴露于毒死蜱和氯菊酯,但不包括Δ9-四氢大麻酚(THC)和大麻二酚(CBD),会对线虫的1-壬醇排斥行为产生剂量依赖性影响,表明存在多巴胺能神经毒性(P < 0.01)。在存在Δ9-THC和CBD的情况下,毒死蜱的剂量依赖性影响有所不同(P < 0.001)。作为概念验证,本研究展示了如何使用秀丽隐杆线虫和CTD等新方法学,通过化学类别为大麻的进一步检测和农药法规提供信息。
