Principle of action and purpose of the drug
The mechanism of action of the product is based on the composition of the substance. Thanks to the combined action, it is possible to cope with a wide range of parasites and reduce the risk of resistance in pests.
The product contains chlorpyrifos. It enters the body of parasites through the digestive organs, respiratory system or skin. This helps make acetylcholinesterase less active. This effect is achieved by simulating acetylcholine. Thanks to interaction with esterases, it is possible to suppress the vital activity of parasites.
When an enzyme is blocked by a substance, an accumulation of acetylcholine is observed in the synaptic cleft. This causes a disruption in the transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, convulsive activity of muscle tissue appears, which turns into paralysis.
The second component of the product is cypermethrin. When an arthropod enters the body from the inside of the sodium channel of nerve cells, it binds to the lipophilic environment of the membrane. As a consequence, its depolarization is observed. In this case, the opening and closing of the sodium channel slows down significantly.
