Cunninghamella spp. produce mammalian-equivalent metabolites from fluorinated pyrethroid pesticides

Abstract Cunninghamella spp. are fungi that are routinely used to model the metabolism of drugs. In this paper we demonstrate that they can be employed to generate mammalian-equivalent metabolites of the pyrethroid pesticides transfluthrin and β-cyfluthrin, both of which are fluorinated. The pestici...
