CAS 120068-37-3: fipronil
Description:Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide belonging to the phenylpyrazole chemical class, primarily used for pest control in agriculture and veterinary medicine. It functions as a neurotoxin, disrupting the normal functioning of the insect nervous system by inhibiting the GABA-gated chloride channels and affecting glutamate-gated chloride channels, leading to hyperexcitation and eventual death of the target pests. Fipronil is effective against a variety of insects, including ants, cockroaches, termites, and fleas. It is typically formulated as a liquid concentrate, granules, or bait. The substance is characterized by its relatively low volatility and high lipophilicity, which allows it to persist in the environment and accumulate in the fatty tissues of organisms. While fipronil is effective in pest management, concerns have been raised regarding its potential environmental impact, particularly on non-target species, including aquatic organisms and pollinators. Regulatory agencies have established guidelines for its use to mitigate risks associated with its application.
