Description

Pirimiphos-methyl is a pesticide that belongs to the class of organophosphates. It is an insecticide that is applied on the surface of plants to control aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, and other insects. Pirimiphos-methyl has been shown to have a high degree of resistance in weevils. The LD50 for pirimiphos-methyl in weevils was found to be much higher than in other insects such as Drosophila melanogaster or Musca domestica. Pirimiphos-methyl inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity by reacting with the enzyme's active site and blocking the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A to choline. This results in increased levels of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions and subsequent paralysis and death.
