Identification
Common NamePrallethrin
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionPrallethrin is an exogenous organic compound with the formula C19H24O3 and an average molecular weight of 300.39 g/mol. At room temperature, it exists as a solid. Prallethrin belongs to the fatty acid esters, a subclass of fatty acyls within the organic compounds. As a pyrethroid insecticide, prallethrin is used in 1.6% w/w liquid vaporizers as a repellent for the control of mosquitoes in household settings. It also serves as the primary insecticide in certain products designed to kill hornets and wasps, as well as their nests. The compound acts on the nervous system of insects, utilizing a mode of action through contact to produce a rapid knock down effect. There are 19 recorded protein targets for this compound, including Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA), Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA), Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 2 (NR1I2), Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 3 (NR1I3), and 15 other proteins.
