The current study constitutes the first report of the metabolism of imidacloprid and acetamiprid in rainbow trout. Formation of respective metabolites 5-hydroxy-imidacloprid and N-desmethyl-acetamiprid was validated by analytical methods and demonstrated to be conserved across orders of biological organization in both microsomal and liver slice assays. Michaelis-Menten kinetics were determined for the microsomal conversion of imidacloprid to 5-hydroxy-imidacloprid in rainbow trout (Km=79.2 µM; Vmax=0.75 pmole/min/mg) and rat (Km=158.7 µM; Vmax=38.4 pmole/min/mg). Kinetics for the microsomal demethylation of acetamiprid to N-desmethyl-acetamiprid were determined in the rat (Km=70.9 µM; Vmax=4.10 pmoles/min/mg). N-desmethyl-acetamiprid was found in detectable but below quantifiable levels across the range of test concentrations which precluded a calculation of kinetic rate constants in rainbow trout (RBT). Ultimately, the formation of the metabolites 5-hydroxy-imidacloprid and N-desmethyl-acetamiprid was conserved across RBT and rat species.
