Identification
Common NamePiperonyl butoxide
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionPiperonyl butoxide (PBO) is an organic compound used as a component of pesticide formulations. It is a waxy white solid. It is a synergist. That is, despite having no pesticidal activity of its own, it enhances the potency of certain pesticides such as especially for carbamates, pyrethrins, pyrethroids, and rotenone. It is a semisynthetic derivative of safrole.
