PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES: The pyrethrins are potent, non-systemic,
contact insecticides causing a rapid paralysis or "knockdown", death
occurring at a later
stage. Their mechanism of action is considered to involve inhibition
of the inactivation
of sodium channels and the activation of potassium conductance at the
neurone axon
level. This results in prolonged action potentials, repetitive
neuronal firing after a
single stimulus and spontaneous trains of action potentials.
The insecticidal activity of the pyrethrins is markedly enhanced by
the inclusion of
cytochrome P
450
inhibitors which decrease their rate of metabolism by the insects;
piperonyl butoxide is a methylenedioxyphenol synergist for pyrethrins
and related
insecticides and is included in the formulation.
Pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide are incorporated both as a free
active component for
rapid "knockdown" effect and as a microencapsulated component
providing sustained
release of active ingredients to maintain insecticidal activity for up
to 14 days.
