Empenthrin (CAS 54406-48-3)
QUICK LINKS
Empenthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid compound utilized in the study of insecticidal agents and their effects on insect physiology and behavior. Research on Empenthrin focuses on its action as a neurotoxin that targets the insect nervous system, disrupting sodium channel function, which leads to paralysis and eventual insect mortality. It is also used in investigations related to the development of resistance in insect populations, where understanding the genetic and biochemical mechanisms of resistance can inform strategies for pest control. Additionally, Empenthrin′s efficacy and environmental impact are subjects of environmental toxicology studies, which evaluate the compound′s persistence, bioaccumulation, and effects on non-target organisms. In agricultural research, the compound is used to study integrated pest management approaches, aiming to minimize the reliance on chemical insecticides while maintaining effective pest control.
