Pyriproxyfen (CAT: I005679) is an insect growth regulator belonging to the class of juvenile hormone analogs. It acts by mimicking the action of juvenile hormone, which plays a crucial role in insect development and reproduction. Pyriproxyfen disrupts the normal growth and development of insects, inhibiting their ability to molt and reproduce. It is primarily used as an insecticide to control a wide range of insect pests, including mosquitoes, flies, fleas, and ants. Pyriproxyfen is commonly employed in agricultural settings, as well as in public health programs for vector control to combat diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.
