Coumaphos is a nonvolatile, fat-soluble phosphorothioate with ectoparasiticide properties: it kills insects and mites. It is well known by a variety of brand names as a dip or wash, used on farm and domestic animals to control ticks, mites, flies and fleas.
In a study published in Genome Biology, [6] researchers demonstrated the gut microbiota mediated diabetogenic effect of organophosphate insecticides. They used monocrotophos as the prototypical organophosphate in their study and showcased that during chronic intake, monocrotophos is degraded by the gut microbiota and the end products are converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis that account ...
The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that exposure levels from eating crops treated with Naled are below the level of concern. [5] With higher exposures, however, naled can cause cholinesterase inhibition in humans, which in turn can overstimulate the nervous system causing nausea, dizziness, confusion, and at very high exposures, respiratory paralysis and death.

Temefos or temephos (trade name Abate) is an organophosphate larvicide used to treat water infested with disease-carrying insects [2] including mosquitoes, midges, and black fly larvae.
In one study of a patient who died of profenofos poisoning, the major metabolites of profenofos were identified as des-S-propylated profenofos, two isomers of despropylated propenofos, and desethylated propenofos. [8] A downstream, nontoxic metabolite, 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol, has been proposed as biomarker for exposure. [9]
At normal conditions, it is a pale yellow mobile liquid poorly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents.It is relatively stable and hydrolyses only at very acidic or basic conditions.
Quinalphos is an organothiophosphate chemical chiefly used as a pesticide. It is a reddish-brown liquid. The chemical formula is C 12 H 15 N 2 O 3 PS, and IUPAC name O,O-diethyl O-quinoxalin-2-yl phosphorothioate. [1]
Dimethoate is a widely used organophosphate insecticide and acaricide.It was patented and introduced in the 1950s by American Cyanamid.Like other organophosphates, dimethoate is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor which disables cholinesterase, an enzyme essential for central nervous system function.
