Piperonyl butoxide is a synergist used to enhance the activity of insecticides, including pyrethrin insecticides, through inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs).{37755,37756} It increases the toxicity of the pyrethroid insecticide deltamethrin (Item No. 24172) to field-collected, deltamethrin-resistant strains of the bed bug C. lectularius by 40- to 176-fold when used at a concentration of 50 μg/μL.{37756} Piperonyl butoxide also increases the toxicity of the organotin insecticide Plictran to fourth instar larvae of susceptible strains of the cotton leafworm S. littoralis (LD50s = 0.78 and 40 μg/larva with and without piperonyl butoxide, respectively), as well as field strains (LD50s = 0.015 and 1.1 μg/larva with and without piperonyl butoxide, respectively).{43336} It is not toxic to the freshwater invertebrates H. azteca, C. tentans, and L. variegatus (LC50s = 530, 2,740, and 3,540 μg/L, respectively) and reduces the toxicity of the organophosphate pesticides diazinon (Item No. 23769), chlorpyrifos (Item No. 21412), and azinphos-methyl, which require activation by CYP enzymes in these organisms.{37755} Formulations containing piperonyl butoxide have been used for the control of agricultural, household, and veterinary pests.
