Description of AZAMETHIPHOS 1% Bait #

Description
1. Azamethiphos is an organophosphorus insecticide which acts by inhibition of cholinesterase activity. It is used as a pesticid
pesticidal spray for
control of flies and cockroaches in warehouses and other buildings. In veterinary medicine, it has been proposed for u use in fish farming to
control external parasites of the Atlantic Salmon. The proposed application rate for this use 0.1 to 0.2 ppm as a "bath" trea
treatment.

2. In rats, azamethiphos was very well absorbed after oral administration and was rapidly metabolised and excreted. The pattern of
elimination of the administered radioactivity depended on the position of the radio
radio-label
label in the molecule. Elimination was recovered mostly
from the expired air when the radio-label
label was in the methylene group and mostly from tthe
he urine when the radiolabel was in the pyridine
moiety. There was evidence that the major metabolic pathway was similar in rats and salmon and involved degradation to 2 2-amino-3-
hydroxy-5-chloropyridine
chloropyridine followed by glucuronic and sulphuric acid conjugation
conjugation.. Azamethiphos was poorly absorbed after topical
administration in all the species studied.

3. Azamethiphos was of moderate acute oral toxicity to mammals but of high acute oral toxicity to birds. It was of lower mamm
mammalian toxicity
when applied topically, reflecting the low percutaneous absorption of the substance. The substance was of low acute oral and dermal
mammalian toxicity when formulated as a 50% wettable powder. The signs of acute toxicity were consistent with cholinesterase inhibition.
Azamethiphos
os was an eye irritant in the rabbit. The 50% wettable powder formulation was only a mild eye irritant.
