Popis: High-performance liquid chromatography with internal surface reversed-phase packing provides an analytical tool for studying the in vitro and in vivo metabolism of A and E destruxins in the haemolymph and various organs of male adults of Locusta migratoria. A slight amount of injected E destruxin is shown to be hydrated into E-diol destruxin in the haemolymph. The rest of the toxin is recovered unchanged in the fat-body, pericardial tissues and Malpighian tubules, and some further E-diol destruxin formation occurs in these organs. Because E-diol destruxin is only weakly toxic, this appears to be a detoxication process.
