Descriptions:
pubchem: Pyriproxyfen is an aromatic ether that consists of propylene glycol having a 2-pyridyl group at the O-1 position and a 4-phenoxyphenyl group at the O-3 position. It has a role as a juvenile hormone mimic. It is a member of pyridines and an aromatic ether. It is functionally related to a 4-phenoxyphenol.
chebi: An aromatic ether that consists of propylene glycol having a 2-pyridyl group at the O-1 position and a 4-phenoxyphenyl group at the O-3 position.
chembl: PYRIPROXYFEN is a small molecule listed in the ChEMBL database but has not progressed to an approved clinical phase.
wikipedia: Pyriproxyfen is a pesticide which is found to be effective against a variety of insects. It was introduced to the US in 1996, to protect cotton crops against whitefly. It has also been found useful for protecting other crops. It is also used as a prevention for flea control on household pets, for killing indoor and outdoor ants and roaches. Methods of application include aerosols, bait, carpet powders, foggers, shampoos and pet collars.
Pyriproxyfen is a juvenile hormone analog (IRAC group 7C) and an insect growth regulator.  It prevents larvae from developing into adulthood and thus rendering them unable to reproduce.
In the US, pyriproxyfen is often marketed under the trade name Nylar, and is one of two active ingredients in Advantage II. In Europe, pyriproxyfen is known under the brand names Cyclio (Virbac) and Exil Flea Free TwinSpot (Emax).
It is used for vector control. Bed nets impregnated with a mixture of pyriproxyfen and pyrethroids are effective against pyrethroid resistant mosquitoes.
