Deltamethrin (RU 22974), a neurotoxic pyrethroid insecticide, produces a reversible sequence of motor symptoms in rats involving hind limb rigidity and choreoathetosis.Deltamethrin is globally used in crop protection, control of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. It is easily degradable.

Azamethiphos, an organothiophosphate insecticide, is used in Atlantic salmon fish farming to control parasites.

Butyl decanoate (AI3-33573) is an insect repellent.

Allethrin induces oxidative stress, apoptosis and calcium release. Allethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide is a major mosquito repellent agent.

λ-Cyhalothrin (Icon) is a type II synthetic pyrethroid insecticide featuring a high-efficiency, broad-spectrum formula with an α-cyano group. It is employed across various applications for controlling a wide array of pests. As a neurotoxin, λ-Cyhalothrin acts on sodium channels in neuron membranes within the central nervous system.

Buprofezin (Applaud) is an insecticide used for control of insect pests such as mealybugs, leafhoppers and whitefly on vegetable crops.

Thiacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts as a selective agonist at insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with IC50values of 2.7 and 860 nM forDrosophilanAChRs and M10 mouse fibroblast cells expressing α4β2 subunit-containing nAChRs, respectively.1It is active against aphids, whiteflies, various species of beetle, andLepidopteraspecies when used at concentrations ranging from 48 to 180 g AI/hectare.2It has anti-estrogenic activity in a yeast estrogen screen and is toxic to adult female houseflies and mice (LD50s = 0.03 and 28 mg/kg, respectively).1,3Formulations containing thiacloprid have been used in the control of insects in agriculture. 1.Tomizawa, M., and Casida, J.E.Selective toxicity of neonicotinoids attributable to specificity of insect and mammalian nicotinic receptorsAnnu.

Diethyl fumarate, a decomposition product of the pesticide Malathion, causes nonimmune contact urticaria on the skin.

Triflumuron is an insecticide belonging to the group of so-called insect growth regulators. It inhibits the synthesis of chitin by the insect larvae, causing the die.

Lufenuron (Fluphenacur) is a chitin-synthesis inhibitor.

Chlorantraniliprole (Rynaxypyr) is an insecticide. Chlorantraniliprole potently and selectively activates insect ryanodine receptor, with EC50s of 40 nM and 50 nM for Drosophila melanogaster and H. virescens ryanodine receptor, and ∼300-fold more potent than that in the mouse myoblast cell line, C2C12 (EC50, 14 μM).

Diflubenzuron (Larvakil) is a benzoyl-urea insecticide, found to be a potent inhibitor of melanosome synthesis in mouse melanoma cells. Diflubenzuron has also been shown to inhibit TCDD-induced CYP1A1 expression in HepG2 cells.

Admire is an important compound in the study of pesticides in agriculture.

Spinosad is a naturally-occurring insecticide found in the the soil bacterium S. spinosa. It is a mixture of the macrocyclic lactones spinosyn A and spinosyn D, which act as agonists of insect nicotinic acetylcholinesterase receptors (nAChRs).

2-Tridecanone is a volatile non-alkaloid insecticide isolated from the wild tomato Lycopersicon hirsutum f. glabratum.

Afoxolaner is an isoxazoline insecticide/acaricide against Ixodes scapularis in dogs. Afoxolaner acts on the insect GABA and glutamate receptors, inhibiting GABA & glutamate-regulated uptake of chloride ions, resulting in excess neuronal stimulation and death of the arthropod.

Acetamiprid is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist. Acetamiprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide used worldwide. It is shown to be associated with neuromuscular and reproductive disorders.
