Permethrin

Assemble a molecular structure model of Permethrin from Authentic Molymod Model Parts by Indigo.

Permethrin is classed as a synthetic neurotoxic pyrethroid insecticide that targets a wide variety of insects. It is a synthetic chemical compound based on extracts from the chrysanthemum flower. Permethrin control mechanism of arthropods such as insects & ticks is depolarization of sodium transport channels in neuronal membranes to cause paralysis.

Permethrin's chemical structure is a cyclopropanecarboxylate ester based on a cyclopropane ring. It has four stereoisomers with the (1R,3S)-trans and (1R,3R)-cis enantiomers responsible for the insecticidal properties of permethrin.

Common Uses for Permethrin:

  1. Food and Feed Crops
  2. Mosquito Control
  3. Lawns and Gardens
  4. Livestock and Pets
  5. Medications - Scabies and head lice
  6. Spraying buildings, clothing
