CIB RC No. – CIR-138049/2017-Chlorpyrifos (EC) (374)-800
Technical Name – Chlorpyriphos 50% E.C.
Mode of Action – Elchlor 50 is a broad-spectrum insecticide which kills insects upon contact by affecting the normal function of the nervous system. Elchlor 50 affects the nervous system by inhibiting the breakdown of acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter. When insects are exposed to Elchlor 50 it then chlorpyrifos binds to the active site of the cholinesterase (ChE) enzyme, which prevents breakdown of ACh in the synaptic cleft. The resulting accumulation of ACh in the synaptic cleft cause overstimulation of the neuronal cells, which leads to neurotoxicity and eventually death of an insects.
