Insecticide

Insecticides refer to any toxic substances used to kill insects, which exert toxic effects on pests through different mechanisms, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling pest populations and protecting crops and human health. Insecticides have both chemical and biological origins and can be classified into organochlorine insecticides, organophosphorus insecticides, carbamate insecticides, and mineral insecticides based on their chemical properties. Insecticides interact with different target and non-target sites, including receptors, enzymes, and many other known and unknown molecules. Most insecticides are neurotoxicants that target the nervous system, but they can also affect other organs and body systems. Insecticides are metabolized through different metabolic pathways and often serve as biomarkers of exposure in the form of their parent compounds or metabolites. The toxicity of insecticides can be acute, subacute, or chronic, depending on the duration of exposure and the dose involved. Therefore, selecting sensitive, accurate, and validated biomarkers of exposure, effects, and susceptibility appears to be a challenging task.
Insecticides are widely used in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, gardening, homes, offices, and other fields^[1]^[2].

o,p'-DDE		99.95%
o,p'-DDE (2,4-Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) is a metabolite and degradation product of the organochlorine pesticide DDT. It accumulates in smallmouth buffalo, channel catfish, and largemouth bass, and in sediments from DDT manufacturing plants around the Huntsville Spring Branch-Indian Creek tributary system, where it is considered a persistent organic pollutant (POP). o,p'-DDE inhibits estrogen binding to the rainbow trout estrogen receptor (rtER) with an IC₅₀ value of 3.2 μM. It induces concentration-dependent estradiol secretion in co-cultures of granulosa and theca cells isolated from porcine follicles. In ovo exposure to o,p'-DDE increases follicular degeneration and reduces testis size in Japanese medaka (O. latipes).

Carbosulfan causes reproductive toxicity in male rats and developmental disorders in their offspring. Carbosulfan shows persistence in paddy field environments and potential hazards to non-target organisms, and it is commonly used in studies related to reproductive toxicity and environmental risk assessment.

Pellitorine exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-sepsis effects by inhibiting the release of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) and the expression of RAGE/TLR4. Pellitorine exerts its antithrombotic effect by prolonging the clotting time, inhibiting the activity of clotting factors and thrombin. Pellitorine inhibits lipid peroxidation and resists ferroptosis by upregulating GPX4 and DHODH. Pellitorine kills Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae by inhibiting V-type H⁺-ATPase and aquaporin 4 (AaAQP4). Pellitorine exhibits anti-cancer activity (e.g., leukemia and breast cancer) and has inhibitory effects on certain bacteria.
