MedKoo Cat#: 146087 | Name: Averthrin

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Averthrin is a naturally occurring compound with insecticidal properties, derived from certain species of Averrhoa, a genus of tropical fruit-bearing plants. It is primarily used in agriculture to control pests and protect crops from insect damage. The mechanism of averthrin involves disrupting the nervous system of insects by inhibiting the normal function of neurotransmitters, leading to paralysis and death of the pests. While its use is limited to pest control, averthrin’s efficacy in managing insect populations makes it a valuable compound in integrated pest management strategies.
