Organophosphorus insecticide chlorpyrifos

What is Clorpyrifos (2921-88-2)?

Clorpyrifos  is an organophosphorus pesticide and is classified as a phosphorus ion. The oxymetabolite of Clorpyrifos is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and affects the neurological function of insects, humans and other animals. Clorpyrifos oxygenase (CPO) metabolites are hydrolyzed by plasma paraoxonase 1 (PON1), and overexpression of PON1 can alleviate neurotoxic sensitivity associated with CPO exposure.

Clorpyrifos (2921-88-2) insecticidal mechanism

The  insecticide   Clorpyrifos inhibits the activity of acetylcholinesterase AChE or cholinesterase ChE in the nerves in the body and destroys normal nerve impulse transmission, causing a series of poisoning symptoms: abnormal excitement, spasm, paralysis, and death.

Common dosage forms of Clorpyrifos (2921-88-2)

10% microcapsule suspension, 30% EC, 40% EC, 48% EC, 50% EC, 10% granules, 15% granules, 0.5% fertilizer mixture, etc.

Clorpyrifos (2921-88-2) Chemical Properties

The insecticide Clorpyrifos is a white crystalline solid, Cas 2921-88-2, with a melting point of 42.5-43°C, a saturated vapor pressure of 2.4X10-3Pa at 25°C, and a solubility in water of 2mg/L at 25°C and 650g in propanol. /L, 190g/L in benzene, 400mg/L in xylene, and 45g/L in methanol.

The role of Clorpyrifos (2921-88-2)

The pesticide Clorpyrifos is a moderate pesticide and is extremely toxic to aquatic organisms and may have long-term adverse effects on the water environment. It has three functions of stomach poisoning, contact killing and fumigation, and has good control effect on various chewing and sucking mouthpart pests on rice, wheat, cotton, fruit trees, vegetables and tea trees. It has good mixing compatibility and can be mixed with a variety of pesticides and has obvious synergistic effect. Compared with conventional pesticides, it has low toxicity and is an alternative to highly toxic organophosphorus pesticides against natural enemies.

The insecticide Clorpyrifos has a wide range of applications, with Clorpyrifos having contact, stomach poisoning and fumigation effects. The residual period on the leaves is not long, but the residual period in the soil is longer, so it has better control effect on underground pests and is harmful to tobacco.

Principle of action of Clorpyrifos (2921-88-2)

To put it simply, the insecticide Clorpyrifos is actually a nerve agent. Its function is to inhibit the activity of enzymes in the insect body. It relies on the affinity between the inhibitor and the enzyme active zone to form an inhibitor complex, destroying normal nerve impulse transmission. Causes a series of poisoning symptoms: abnormal excitement, convulsions, paralysis, and death.

Characteristics of Clorpyrifos (2921-88-2)

The insecticide Clorpyrifos is an organophosphorus insecticide with broad spectrum. It is one of the main alternatives to highly toxic organophosphorus pesticides.
