Malathion is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, a diverse family of chemicals.Upon uptake into the target organism, it binds irreversibly to the serine residue in the active catalytic site of the cholinesterase enzyme.
Benzyl benzoate is an effective and inexpensive topical treatment for human scabies. [7] It has vasodilating and spasmolytic effects and is present in many asthma and whooping cough drugs. [8] It is also used as an excipient in some testosterone-replacement medications (like Nebido) for treating hypogonadism. [9]
There has also been a report from CBS-affiliate KCCI about a veterinarian in Iowa using the brand-name drug Paxlovid created for COVID-19 as a treatment for dogs with this mystery respiratory ...
Poisoning can occur if pyrethroid containing flea treatment products, which are intended for dogs, are used on cats. The livers of cats detoxify pyrethroids via glucuronidation more poorly than dogs, which is the cause of this difference. [15] Aside from cats, pyrethroids are typically not toxic to mammals or birds. [16]
A dog displaying a typical clinical picture of visceral leishmaniasis. Canine leishmaniasis (LEESH-ma-NIGH-ah-sis) is a zoonotic disease (see human leishmaniasis) caused by Leishmania parasites transmitted by the bite of an infected phlebotomine sandfly. There have been no documented cases of leishmaniasis transmission from dogs to humans.
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]
One of the key uses for the compound is in production of the pesticide Malathion. [5] It has also been used medically as a chemical depletory of glutathione. [6] It has been studied extensively with regard to renal function. [7] Other medical uses include treatment of breast cancer and its monitoring with Positron Emission Tomography. [8]
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. It has been tested to be relatively low in toxicity to humans. [Source Needed]
