Pyrimidifen intoxication

Abstract: We present a case of lethal ingestion of pyrimidifen, a new insecticide with an unclear mode of action. The primary manifestations were coma and circulatory shock, leading to irreversible multiorgan failure. Pyrimidifen was detected in the patient's blood, urine, brain tissue, and gastric content samples. Minimal structural homology exists between pyrimidifen and organochlorines. Currently, no antidote is available, and therapy is primarily supportive.

“…It exhibits efficacy against all life stages of spider mites and is also capable of managing the population of diamondback moths (Plutella xylostella L.). Pyrimidifen operates through the same mechanism of action as other pyrimidine acaricides: inhibiting the electron transfer on complex I [67,68] (Figure 15).…”

“…Since the commercialization of diazinon, the first organophosphorus insecticide with a pyrimidine structure developed by Gegi in 1952, pyrimidines have become the focus of novel pesticide development. 7,9 Although pyrimidine amines have a wide range of biological activities and unique modes of action, due to the development difficulties caused by their toxicity and environmental toxicological characteristics, 10,11 few are commercialized (Figure 1).…”

“…ATP, produced in the mitochondrial inner membrane, is the common energy source for living organisms, including arthropods. Several commercial insecticidal and acaricidal compounds inhibit electron transport system complex I, including fenpyroximate, 1 fenazaquin 2 and pyrimidifen, 3 and against complex III, such as strobilurin A 4 originating from a fungus. They have proved to be safe for mammals by their selective activity against arthropods.…”
