Fenpropathrin, or fenopropathrin, is a widely used pyrethroid insecticide in agriculture and household. [1] [2] [3] [4] Fenpropathrin is an ingestion and contact synthetic pyrethroid. Its mode of action is similar to other natural ( pyrethrum) and synthetic pyrethroids where in they interfere with the kinetics of voltage gated sodium channels causing paralysis and death of the pest. [5] Fenpropathrin was the first of the light-stable synthetic pyrethroids to be synthesized in 1971, but it was not commercialized until 1980. [6] Like other pyrethroids with an α-cyano group, fenpropathrin also belongs to the termed type II pyrethroids (e.g. cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin and esfenvalerate). [7] Type II pyrethroids are a more potent toxicant than type I in depolarizing insect nerves. [8] Application rates of fenpropathrin in agriculture according to US environmental protection agency (EPA) varies by crop but is not to exceed 0.4 lb ai/ acre.

Toxicity

A person developed Parkinson's disease after six months of daily exposure to fenpropathrin, and animal tests subsequently revealed that the compound is a dopaminergic neurotoxin. [4] The patient had a history of eating fenpropathrin-poisoned fish for 6 months. [4] The follow-up Dopaminergic degeneration study was conducted using mice treated with fenpropathrin at 15mg/kg/day for 60 days. [4] It has thus been implicated as an environmental risk factor for Parkinson's disease [4] similar to organochlorines, organophosphates and pyrethroids especially at higher doses. [9] [10] [11] [5] An acute reference dose for chronic dietary exposure for fenpropathrin is set at 0.025/mg/kg/day by US EPA. Fenpropathrin is toxic to bees if they come in contact with them directly similar to other insecticides. [12] Toxicity dissipates with time when deposited on foliage and is <24 hours.

Environmental Fate

Fenpropathrin degrades from soil by two main mechanisms, biodegradation and photochemical degradation of surface deposits. [13] The time of degradation depends on the characteristics of the soils. [7] The half-life of disappearance for fenpropathrin in soils was 11 to 17 days under aerobic conditions and approx >1 yr under anaerobic conditions. The half-life of fenpropathrin on the surface of a sterilized sandy loam was in the range of 3 to 4 days following irradiation with natural sunlight.
