120068-37-3 Usage
Description
Fipronil is a white powder with a mouldy odour. It has a low solubility in water and is a
slow-acting poison. It does not bind strongly with soil, and the half-life of fipronil– sulphone
is 34 days. Fipronil is a broadspectrum insecticide of the phenylpyrazole group. Fipronil
was first used extensively for the control of ants, beetles, cockroaches, fleas; ticks, termites,
mole crickets, thrips, rootworms, weevils, flea of pets, field pest of corn, golf courses, and
commercial turf, and other insects. Fipronil was first used in the United States in 1996.
Fipronil is a topical insecticide. It kills adult fleas and larvae, ticks, and chewing lice. As a
liquid, fipronil is applied on the back side skin of dogs and cats. Reports indicate that some
animals do become hypersensitive (allergic) to fipronil.

Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 120068-37-3 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. antifungal
2. Pesticide.
3. A broad spectrum insecticide which actively disrupts the CNS of contacted insects by blocking the passage of chloride ions through GABA receptors.
4. Fipronil is used for the control of a wide range of insect species in
rice, cereals, corn, cotton, top fruit, sugar beet, sugar cane, oilseed rape,
many vegetables and other high-value crops. It also has a veterinary use
as an ectoparasiticide.
Agricultural Uses
Insecticide, Veterinary medicine: Not approved for use in EU countries. Fipronil
was introduced into the U.S. in 1996 for use in animal
health and indoor pest control. It is the constituent of many
products for controlling a wide spectrum of domestic animal and residential pests.

Pharmacology
Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole, the mode of action of which
is to inhibit nerve transmission in arthropods by blocking
γ -aminobutyric acid-gated chloride channels. Fipronil is
available as spray and spot-on formulations to control
fleas and ticks on cats and dogs. The adulticidal activity of
fipronil accounts for the majority of its activity, although
additional activity against flea eggs and larvae results
from the presence of fipronil on hairs and debris shed into
the environment from treated pets.Autohistoradiography studies (11) into the cutaneous
distribution of 14C-fipronil in the cat and dog following
spot-on administration demonstrated that radioactivity
was restricted principally to the stratum corneum, the
viable epidermis, and the pilosebaceous units. Following
its slow release from sebaceous glands, fipronil migrates in
the sebum covering the skin and hairs by passive diffusion
and was shown to persist on hair for up to 2 months after
treatment.
Potential Exposure
Pyrazole/phenylpyrazole/organofluor ine insecticide; veterinary medicine. Fipronil was intro duced into the United States in 1996 for use in animal
health and indoor pest control. It is the constituent of many
products for controlling a wide spectrum of domestic ani mal and residential pests. Banned for use in EU.
Metabolic pathway
Through the abiotic degradation of fipronil in aqueous
solution and on the soil surface, 5-amino-3-
carbamoyl-1-[2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-4-
[(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl]pyrazole is the only hydrolysis
product detected. Fipronil in acidic aqueous solution
exposed under a xenon lamp degrades with the
concomitant appearance of 5-amino-3-cyano-1-[2,6-
dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-4-
(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole and 5-amino-3-cyano-1-[2,6-
dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pyrazole-4-sulfonic
acid. Under field conditions, when fipronil is applied in
formulation, four metabolites which include one
product resulting from reduction on the sulfur atom of
fipronil are detected.

Degradation
Fipronil is stable in water at pH 5 and 7 but is slowly hydrolysed at pH 9
(DT50 28 days) to the amide (2). It undergoes rapid aqueous photolysis
with a DT50 of ﹤0.5 day. The major photodecomposition product in water
and on soil surfaces is desulfinyl-fipronil(3) which is formed by extrusion
of the SO group. A minor photoproduct in water, on soil and on plant
surfaces is the sulfonic acid (4). The mechanisms of these reactions are
discussed in a recent paper by Bobe et al. (1998).

Waste Disposal
It is the responsibility of
chemical waste generators to determine the toxicity and
physical properties and of a discarded chemical and to
properly identify its classification and certification as a haz ardous waste and to determine the disposal method. United
States Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for the
classification determination are listed in 40 CFR Parts
261.3. Additionally, waste generators must consult and fol low all regional, national, state and local hazardous waste
laws to ensure complete and accurate classification and dis posal methods.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 120068-37-3 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,2,0,0,6 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 120068-37:
(8*1)+(7*2)+(6*0)+(5*0)+(4*6)+(3*8)+(2*3)+(1*7)=83
83 % 10 = 3
So 120068-37-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
