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.

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).

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

Dimethoate (L-395) is a systemic and contact insecticide for control of cattle grubs and certain other insect pests of farm animals.

Pirimiphos-methyl (AI3-27699) is a rapid-acting organophosphorus insecticide and acaricide, causing inhibition of AChE in target organisms. Pirimiphos-methyl is often used for prevention and control of beetles, moths, snout beetles and Ephestia cautella during storage of agricultural grains.

CyperMethrin (Supercypermethrin) is an insecticide that is cytotoxic.

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).

Rotenone (Rotocide) is a natural product and a botanical insecticide. Rotenone is a mitochondrial electron transport complex I inhibitor that promotes the production of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria and induces apoptosis.

Epsilon-momfluorothrin (Momfluorothrin, (Z,1R,3R)-), a type I synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, exerts its insecticidal properties and triggers activation of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR). Notably, its administration in rats has been observed to induce the development of hepatocellular tumors.

Dehydroemetine is an effective antigenic insecticide, which is a synthetic analogue of Emetine dihydrochloride. It can be used to prevent and treat amoeba infections and diseases. It has the effect of treating leishmania infection with skin damage and resistance to metronidazole amoebiosis.

Adenosine receptor A1 antagonist 5 acts as an adenosine antagonist, is an oxypurine, acts as an insecticide and pest control agent, and has an inhibitory effect on elevated blood pressure.

CGP 20376 is a benzothiazole compound, an anthelmintic, with dual dose-dependent modulation of in vitro effects on the respiratory burst of eosinophils and antifibrillatory properties.

Piperonyl butoxide (Pyrenone 606) is an insecticide synergist, particularly for rotenone and pyrethroids.

Carbaryl (1-naphthyl methylcarbamate) is a carbamate insecticide and parasiticide. It is a potent anticholinesterase agent belonging to the carbamate group of reversible cholinesterase inhibitors. It has a particularly low toxicity from dermal absorption and is used for control of head lice in some countries.

Avermectin B1 is served as anthelmintic and insecticide.

Propoxur (Propoxure) is an insecticide used to control cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, and lawn and turf insects. Acute (short-term) exposure of humans to propoxur by ingestion leads to cholinesterase inhibition of red blood cells, with mild cholinergic symptoms including blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and tachycardia; however, the effects are transient. Chronic (long-term) inhalation exposure has resulted in depressed cholinesterase levels, headaches, vomiting, and nausea in humans. Chronic ingestion studies in animals have reported depressed cholinesterase levels, depressed body weight, effects to the liver and bladder, and a slight increase in neuropathy. No information is available on the reproductive, developmental, or carcinogenic effects of propoxur in humans. Mixed results are available from cancer studies of propoxur in animals. EPA has not classified propoxur for carcinogenicity.

Diazinon (Dimpylate) is a thiophosphoric acid ester, functioning as a nonsystemic organophosphate insecticide that effectively targets and controls a variety of pests including cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and fleas.

Mitotane (NCI-C04933) is a derivative of the insecticide DICHLORODIPHENYLDICHLOROETHANE that specifically inhibits cells of the adrenal cortex and their production of hormones. It is used to treat adrenocortical tumors and causes CNS damage, but no bone marrow depression.

Permethrin (NRDC-143) is a pyrethroid insecticide commonly used in the treatment of LICE INFESTATIONS and SCABIES.
