Uses

Used in Agricultural Industry:
Fenitrothion-o-analog is used as a pesticide for controlling various pests in crops. Its organophosphate structure allows it to act as a potent neurotoxin, inhibiting cholinesterase enzymes in insects and leading to their death. This helps protect agricultural produce from damage caused by pests, ensuring a higher yield and better quality of crops.
Used in Pest Control Applications:
Fenitrothion-o-analog is used as an insecticide in various pest control applications, both in agricultural and non-agricultural settings. Its effectiveness in targeting insects makes it a valuable tool for managing pest populations and preventing the spread of diseases that can be transmitted by insects. However, due to its potential harmful effects on non-target organisms, it is crucial to use fenitrothion-o-analog responsibly and in accordance with safety guidelines.

Metabolism of an Insecticide Fenitrothion by Cunninghamella elegans ATCC36112

In this study, the detailed metabolic pathways of fenitrothion (FNT), an organophosphorus insecticide by Cunninghamella elegans, were investigated. Approximately 81% of FNT was degraded within 5 days after treatment with concomitant accumulation of four m

DIMETHYLDIOXIRANE CONVERSION OF PHOSHINE SULFIDES AND PHOSPHOROTHIOATES INTO THEIR CORRESPONDING OXYGEN ANALOGUES

Tributyl and triphenyl sulfides react with dimethyldioxirane to give the corresponding oxides in quantitative yields.The procedure has also been used for the rapid and clean conversion of several insecticidal phosphorothioates into their respective triester phosphates, which are compounds of interest as standards for toxicological and environmental studies.

Oxidation of organophosphorus pesticides for the sensitive detection by a cholinesterase-based biosensor

A potentiometric flow injection-type biosensor developed in our laboratory was used for the determination of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). The principle of the biosensor is that the degree of inhibition of a sensor enzyme by an OP is dependent on the concentration of the pesticide. The sensor system consisted of a reactor with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) immobilized on a controlled pore glass and a detector with a tubular H+-selective membrane electrode. In order to examine the possibility of enhancing the sensitivity of the sensor by converting OPs to oxidized forms (stronger inhibitors), a comparison of the degree of enzyme inhibition by OPs at 10-6 M before and after their oxidation was made. All of the ten pesticides tested exhibited greater inhibitory power toward the sensor enzyme following oxidation. All of the oxidized pesticides at 10-6 M inhibited the sensor enzyme to a considerable degree, demonstrating the utility of the developed method for the class-specific determination of OPs. A calibration curve for diazinon, over the concentration range of 10-11-10-4 M, was obtained. The lower detection limit was 2 × 10-10 M. Treatment of the inhibited enzyme with pyridine-2-aldoxime restored the enzyme to near full activity, allowing repeated use of the sensor,

Degradation of fenitrothion by ultrasound/ferrioxalate/UV system

The sonochemical photodegradation of fenitrothion, which is one of phosphorothiate insecticides, was carried out in the presence of Fe(III) and oxalate. The degradation rate was strongly influenced by initial concentrations of Fe(III) and oxalate. An initial fenitrothion concentration of 10 mg L-1 was completely degraded after 30 min at pH 6 under the optimum conditions. Therefore, the photo-Fenton reaction combined with sonication in the presence of oxalate was available around neutral pH. The decrease of TOC as a result of mineralization of fenitrothion was observed during ultrasound (US)/ferrioxalate/UV process. In addition, the formations of nitrite and sulfate ions as end-products were observed during this degradation system. The decomposition of fenitrothion gave two kinds of intermediate products. The degradation mechanism of fenitrothion was proposed on the base of the evidence of the identified intermediates. Based on these results, US/ferrioxalate/UV system could be useful technology for the treatment of wastewater containing fenitrothion.

Kinetic study on the interactions of cyclodextrins with organic phosphates and thiophosphates

α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) and 6-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-β- cyclodextrin (G1-β-CD) affected the rates of phenol release from a few dimethyl(nitrophenyl) phosphates and the corresponding thiophosphates in aqueous alkaline solutions. Curvefitting analysis of change

Decomposition of 14C-fenitrothion under the influence of UV and sunlight under tropical and subtropical conditions

The decomposition of 14C-fenitrothion on silica gel chromatoplates as well as in polar and non polar solvents under sunlight and ultraviolet light was investigated, Its stability to sunlight on leaf surfaces of bean plants and on different surfaces (such as glass, quartz and plastic) was also determined. The main photoproducts were identified as carboxyfenitrothion, fenitrooxon, carboxyfenitrooxon and 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol and a small amount 3-caboxy-4-nitrophenol and methyl parathion. The addition of carbaryl and deltamethrin insecticides slightly accelerated the photodecomposition of fenitrothion on silica gel plates and in solution.
