Malathion is an organophosphate insecticide which acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. In the USSR , it was known as carbophos , in New Zealand and Australia as maldison and in South Africa as mercaptothion .
Isomalathion is an impurity found in some batches of malathion. Whereas the structure of malation is, generically, RSP(S)(OCH 3) 2, the connectivity of isomalathion is RSPO(SCH 3)(OCH 3). It arises by heating malathion. Being significantly more toxic to humans than malathion, it has resulted in human poisonings. [1]

Malathion is an organophosphate parasympathomimetic which binds irreversibly to cholinesterase. Malathion is an insecticide of relatively low human toxicity. In the former USSR, it was known as carbophos, in New Zealand and Australia as maldison and in South Africa as mercaptothion.[3] Suggested replacement text. Malathion is an insecticide.
Organophosphate and carbamate insecticides, e.g. malathion and bendiocarb, respectively, are more expensive than DDT per kilogram and are applied at roughly the same dosage. Pyrethroids such as deltamethrin are also more expensive than DDT, but are applied more sparingly (0.02–0.3 g/m 2 vs 1–2 g/m 2 ), so the net cost per house per ...
