thiacloprid

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.

Thiacloprid (Standard) is the standard substance of Thiacloprid, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Thiacloprid, a chloronicotinyl insecticide, acts as a selective agonist at insect nAChRs. The IC50 values are 2.7 and 860 nM for Drosophilan AChRs and M10 mouse fibroblast cells expressing α4β2 subunit-containing nAChRs, respectively.
