A permethrin/allethrin mixture induces genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in human peripheral blood lymphocytes.

J. Toxicol. Environ. Health A 78(1) , 7-14, (2015)

Two pyrethroids, permethrin and allethrin, are often combined for large-scale use in public health programs to control vector-borne diseases. In this study, the genotoxic potential of a commercial formulation of permethrin and allethrin was examined using cul...

[Evaluation of effectiveness of several repellents against mosquito bites available at the Polish market].

Przegl. Epidemiol. 66(3) , 479-85, (2012)

BACKGROUND. Mosquitoes are blood-sucking insects, nuisance to humans and animals. Their bites cause itching and allergic reactions. These insects are also vectors of several viruses, bacteria and parasites. Protection against mosquitoes is therefore justified...

Recurrent tonic-clonic seizures and coma due to ingestion of Type I pyrethroids in a 19-month-old patient.

Clin. Toxicol. (Phila.) 51(6) , 497-500, (2013)

Pyrethroids are synthetic pyrethrin analogues that induce sodium-channel depolarization and hyperexcitation. Severe pyrethroid poisoning is manifested by a "Tremor Syndrome" (Type I cyano-agents) or a "Choreoathetosis/Salivation Syndrome" (Type II non cyano-a...

Enantioseparation of esbiothrin by cyclodextrin-modified microemulsion and micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

J. Sep. Sci. 31(22) , 3911-20, (2008)

A comparison between chiral cyclodextrin-modified microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MEEKC) and cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MEKC) for the enantiomeric separation of esbiothrin was carried out. For both methods...

Effect of continuous inhalation of allethrin-based mosquito coil smoke in the male reproductive tract of rats.

Inhal. Toxicol. 24(3) , 143-52, (2012)

Continuous inhalation of allethrin-based mosquito coil smoke may affect fertility, an aspect that has not received much attention. In this study, we attempt to understand the harmful effects on the male reproductive system caused by continuous exposure to all...

Influence of pyrethroids and piperonyl butoxide on histamine release from isolated rat mast cells.

Inflamm. Res. 56(11) , 473-8, (2007)

Pyrethroids are insecticides with low acute toxicity in mammals but their world-wide use for domestic and occupational purposes has caused concern about the risks of long-term exposure. The mammalian toxicity of pyrethroids is related to disturbances of membr...

Allethrin-induced genotoxicity and oxidative stress in Swiss albino mice

Mutat. Res. 747(1) , 22-8, (2012)

Highlights ► Allethrin has genotoxic potential in Swiss albino mice bone marrow cells. ► Allethrin induces significant oxidative stress in Swiss albino mice. ► Exposure of allethrin to Swiss albino mice caused upregulation of all four DNA damage responsive ge...

The effects of combined exposure to the pyrethroids deltamethrin and S-bioallethrin on hippocampal inhibition and skeletal muscle hyperexcitability in rats.

Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 216(2) , 354-62, (2006)

The default assumption that different pyrethroid insecticides, sharing a common mode of action, will show additivity of toxicity has not always been supported by in vitro measures, some of which have indicated antagonism. Our intention was to see whether the ...

Differential state-dependent modification of inactivation-deficient Nav1.6 sodium channels by the pyrethroid insecticides S-bioallethrin, tefluthrin and deltamethrin

Neurotoxicology 33(3) , 384-90, (2012)

Highlights ► We constructed Nav1.6Q3 sodium channels containing the IFM/QQQ mutation. ► Nav1.6Q3 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes exhibited persistent activation. ► Opening of Nav1.6Q3 channels enhanced modification by tefluthrin and deltamethrin. ► Modi...

Effect of mosquito mats (pyrethroid-based) vapor inhalation on rat brain cytochrome P450s.

Toxicol. Mech. Methods 22(1) , 41-6, (2012)

The effect of transfluthrin (TF) or D-allethrin (DA) pyrethroid (PYR) vapors, often contained as main ingredients in two commercially available mosquito repellent mats, on cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes of rat brain and liver was assessed. Immunodetection of C...
