Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO), appears as a yellow transparent liquid under normal temperature and pressure. It has very low water solubility (<0.1g/100mL), being practically insoluble in water, but is soluble in most organic solvents, including mineral oils and dichloromethane. As an ether derivative, PBO exhibits good chemical stability, stability towards light and ultraviolet radiation, and good resistance to hydrolysis.
This compound enhances the insecticidal activity of pyrethrins, various pyrethroids, rotenone, and carbamate insecticides. Furthermore, it demonstrates significant synergistic effects with insecticides such as fenitrothion, dichlorvos, chlordane, plifenate, and atrazine. Consequently, it is widely used in insecticide production.
PBO is a widely employed **pesticide synergist**, primarily used as a synergist for **pyrethroid insecticides**. It offers several advantages: extending residual activity, broadening the insecticidal spectrum, reducing the required dosage of active ingredient, lowering costs, and being inherently safe and non-toxic itself. PBO is mainly used to control storage pests in grains such as rice, wheat, and beans (e.g., grain weevils). It is often co-formulated with the insecticide pyrethrin, forming a complex to exert its synergistic effect.
Insecticide synergists are chemicals that possess little or no inherent insecticidal activity themselves, but when added to an insecticide formulation, significantly enhance its efficacy. Currently, most public health insecticides belong to the pyrethroid class. While these insecticides are safe, effective, and highly desirable, they are expensive. Therefore, using a synergist like PBO to enhance efficacy, reduce application rates, and lower costs becomes essential. PBO is an excellent synergist, providing significant enhancement for pyrethroid insecticides. It is stable in formulation and harmless to mammals. Crucially, its primary **mechanism of synergy** involves the inhibition of **mixed-function oxidases (MFOs)** within insects. These enzymes represent the most important detoxification system associated with insecticide resistance
