Transfluthrin
Transfluthrin is an insecticide with extremely low acute toxicity to vertebrates. Transfluthrin acts as a mosquito repellent, exerts mosquito control effects via electric heating fumigators, and is widely used in studies related to malaria, bancroftian filariasis and mosquito-borne infectious diseases. Transfluthrin may also induce adverse reactions such as pulmonary sensory irritation, sensitization, genotoxicity and respiratory depression, and can increase the concentrations and activities of CYP2E1 and CYP3A2 in rat brains. Transfluthrin can be removed from wastewater through biodegradation and activated sludge adsorption, and can be degraded by microorganisms such as Azovibrio and Tauera.

Biological Activity
Transfluthrin (0.015-5 mg per plate; 60 min/20 min pre-incubation, 48-72 h plate incubation) is non-genotoxic in bacterial reverse mutation assays for reference transfluthrin (TFL-R), while two generic transfluthrin samples (TFL-GVI, TFL-GVIII) induce dose-dependent base-pair substitutions in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 without metabolic activation[1].
Transfluthrin is genotoxic to human nasal mucosal epithelial cells of the inferior and middle nasal conchae[3].
