Profenophos is a
broad-spectrum organophosphorus insecticide that is used to control
insect pests in cotton, maize, sugar beet, soya bean, potato, vegetables
and other crops. Its mode of action is by inhibition of
acetylcholinesterase activity.
-
Technical Profenophos is
a pale yellow liquid with a boiling point of 100oC and a
density of 1.46 g/cm3 at 20oC. Pure Profenophos is an amber-colored oily
liquid with a boiling point of 110oC. Profenophos has limited solubility
in water (20 ppm), but is completely soluble in organic solvents
(ethanol, acetone, toluene, n-octanol, and n-hexane) at 25oC.
-
Profenophos is a racemic
mixture of the two optical isomers at
the chiral phosphorus atom. The
S (-) isomer is a markedly more potent inhibitor of
acetyl
cholinesterase in vitro than the R (+) isomer.
-
Profenophos breaks down
rapidly in aerobic and anaerobic conditions and dissipates in neutral to
alkaline soils with a half-life of several days.
-
Profenophos is not
persistent in soil, water or sediment (anaerobic breakdown is slower
than aerobic). The mobility of Profenophos in soils is reduced because
of its low solubility in water and its affinity for soil organic
matter.
-
Profenophos residues are
unlikely to leach given adsorption in soil and propensity for organic
matter hence reduced bioavailability in soil and water.
-
The acute oral LD50 for
Profenophos ranged from 358 to 1178 mg/kg bw in rats. The acute oral
LD50 for Profenophos was 298 mg/kg bw in mice and 700 mg/kg bw in
rabbits.
-
An insecticide/miticide,
Profenophos is a restricted use pesticide used solely on cotton,
to
control the tobacco budworm, cotton bollworm, armyworm, cotton aphid,
whiteflies, spider mites, plant bugs, and fleahoppers.
-
An estimated 85%
of all Profenophos is used to control
lepidopteran species (the worm
complex) at varying rates. About 30% of this use is at the
maximum
label rate of one pound active ingredient per acre.
-
Approximately 775,000
pounds of active ingredient are applied to cotton crops each
year.
-
Profenophos was of low
toxicity on exposure by inhalation, the
LC50 being > 3.36 mg/L.
Profenophos was moderately irritating to skin and mildly irritating to
the eye and was shown to be a sensitizer under the conditions of the
Magnusson & Kligman test and in the local lymph-node assay.
