Promacyl is a synthetic carbamate insecticide and acaricide, chemically known as 3-methyl-5-(propan-2-yl)phenyl butanoyl(methyl)carbamate. It functions as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting neurotransmission in pests by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, leading to overstimulation and eventual paralysis. Historically, Promacyl was utilized to control a variety of insect and mite pests, including ticks, fleas, and aphids.
