Product Overview:
Pyriproxyfen is a pyridine insecticide that mimics juvenile growth hormone, which prevents larvae from developing into reproduction-capable adults. The LD50 of pyriproxyfen in rats is >5,000 mg/kg, >1,300 mg/cubic meter/4 hours, and >2,000 mg/kg through oral, inhalation, or percutaneous dosing, respectively.{34241} It is used as a larvicide in the drinking water of 11 municipalities in Brazil and rumors suggested it may be correlated with the increase in cases of microcephaly in Brazil.{34234} The acceptable daily intake determined by the World Health Organization is 0.3 mg/L.{34240} The prevalence of microcephaly in Brazil is not higher in municipalities that use pyriproxyfen in the water supply, compared with municipalities that use the larvicide Bti.{34234} In addition, in zebrafish, even very high doses (0.1 µg/ml, compared with 0.01 µg/ml used in practice for pest control) pyriproxyfen does not induce microcephaly or other brain malformations.{34235} Formulations containing pyriproxyfen are used for flea control in dogs and as an insecticide for ants.{34236,34239}

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
