Pyrethroid - Wikipedia
A pyrethroid is an organic compound similar to the natural pyrethrins, which are produced by the flowers of pyrethrums (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium and C. coccineum). Pyrethroids are used as commercial and household insecticides .
Pyrethrins and Pyrethroids | Public Health Statement | ATSDR
Pyrethroids are manufactured chemicals that are very similar in structure to the pyrethrins, but are often more toxic to insects, as well as to mammals, and last longer in the environment than pyrethrins. More than 1,000 synthetic pyrethroids have been developed, but less than a dozen of them are currently used in the United States.
Pyrethroids: How They Affect Human and Animal Health? - PMC
Pyrethroids are pesticides commonly used in crop protection; in the forestry, wood, and textile industries; as well as in medicine and veterinary medicine to treat parasitic crustacean infestations. They have been found to be relatively safe for humans and animals.
Pyrethroid pesticides: An overview on classification, toxicological ...
2023年5月1日 · Pyrethroid pesticides are neurotoxins that specifically target the voltage-gated sodium channel's receptor site (Kadala et al., al.,2014; Zhorov and Dong, 2017; Valmorbida et al., al.,2022). They kill insects by binding to sodium channels, which results in excitatory paralysis.
Pyrethrin and Pyrethroid Toxicity - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
2024年8月11日 · Pyrethrin and pyrethroid compounds are ester insecticides derived from Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, with robust safety profiles in humans compared to many agricultural products. Natural pyrethrins have been used as insecticides for centuries, particularly for lice and mosquito control.
Pyrethroid Poisoning - PMC
Pyrethroid compounds are widely used as insecticides. These compounds not only have a versatile application, but also have favourable toxicological profiles with high selectivity and toxicity to insects and low toxicity to humans.
Pyrethroids: Exposure and health effects – An update
2015年5月1日 · Pyrethroids are a class of synthetic insecticides. Their chemical structure is based on naturally occurring pyrethrins, which are found in the flowers of Chrysanthemum cineraraefolum. The basic pyrethroid structure consists of …
Pyrethrins and Pyrethroids: A Comprehensive Review of Natural
2023年11月29日 · Exposure to pyrethroid pesticides was found to be correlated with hearing loss in American teenagers. This research offers new insights into the connection between pyrethroid exposure and the sense of hearing.
Pyrethroid - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Pyrethroids are organic compounds isolated from the naturally occurring flowers of pyrethrums (Chrysanthemum Coccineum and Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium) [1]. The insecticidal properties of pyrethrins are due to pyrethroic acids. Pyrethroides affect the sodium channels and lead to paralysis of the organism.
Exposure to common insecticides associated with risk of death
2020年1月14日 · People with higher exposures to common insecticides called pyrethroids had an increased risk of death in the years following the measurements. More research is needed to understand if there is a direct link between exposure and risk of death, and to understand the potential mechanisms at work.
