Diazinon

Diazinon is an insecticide. It is lethal to adult and larval beet webworms (LD50s = 0.15 and 464 mg/kg, respectively). Diazinon (0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg) decreases isolated brainstem and forebrain choline acetyltransferase activity, a marker for neurological development, in neonatal rats. It is lethal to dogs when administered at doses ranging from 300-500 mg/kg. Diazinon (5-50 mg/kg) induces cardiac hemorrhage, increases fatty areas in the pancreas, as well as decreases the thickness of the duodenum and jejunum, in pigs. Formulations containing diazinon have been used in the control of ticks, lice, and flies in agriculture.Formal Name: phosphorothioic acid, O,O-diethyl O-[6-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-4-pyrimidinyl] ester.
