Piprotal is a chemical compound used primarily as a synergist in pesticide formulations, enhancing the efficacy of insecticides like pyrethrins and carbamates. It functions by inhibiting the oxidative metabolism of these insecticides in pests, thereby prolonging their toxic effects and increasing pest mortality. Piprotal is structurally related to piperonyl butoxide, a well-known synergist, and is utilized in agriculture to improve pest control outcomes.
