Profos Super

Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC

Description

PROFENOFOS is a cholinesterase inhibitor. The separate optical isomers, due to the chiral phosphorus atom, show different types of insecticidal activity and the ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase. Cypermethrin acts on the nervous system of the insect and disturbs the function of neurons by interaction with the sodium channel.

Mode Of Action

It is having a dual mode of action. PROFENOFOS is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme acetyl cholinesterase, which is essential for the transmission of impulses between nerve cells. It binds tightly to and inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and disrupts nerve impulse transmission by acting in synaptic regions of insect nerve cell. While cypermethrin is a Sodium channel modulator, it inhibits the sodium ion entry into the nerve cells which leads to the hyperexcitation of the nerves.
