Allethrin

• UNSPSC Description:

  Allethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide is a major mosquito repellent agent. Allethrin induces oxidative stress, apoptosis and calcium release in rat testicular carcinoma cells (LC540). Allethrin induces BCL-2, caspase-3 activation and release of intracellular calcium[1].
