URLs for pyrethroids


Pyrethroids are potent insecticides which are widely used in agriculture, disease vector control or in hosehold products. The pyrethroids, including the natural pyrethrins, have been subdivided in two types.
Type I: without a alpha-cyano group (e.g. bioallethrin, permethrin )
Type II: containing a cyano substituent (e.g. deltamethrin, fenvalerate)
Their main biological effect is the modification of the kinetik of voltage-dependent sodium channels in nervous tissue.

NTP
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) conducts toxicity/carcinogenesis studies on agents suspected of posing hazards to human health. Chemical-related study information is submitted to NIEHS and is archived and maintained in a central location (Central Files) so that all study information can be monitored and tracked efficiently. Currently, more than 800 chemical studies are on file.
