Amitraz-D3

Amitraz-D3 is a deuterium-labeled version of the commonly used insecticide and acaricide, Amitraz. It is used primarily for the control of mites, ticks, and lice on animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, and dogs. Amitraz-D3 belongs to the class of chemicals known as formamidines and acts on the nervous system of the pests, resulting in paralysis and death. Chemically, Amitraz-D3 is composed of three deuterium atoms substituted for three hydrogen atoms in the molecule of Amitraz. This labeling allows for easier detection and monitoring of the insecticide in biological samples, as well as in the environment. The usage of Amitraz-D3 is strictly regulated and must be in accordance with local laws and regulations. It is typically applied as a topical solution or spray, and care must be taken to avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Additionally, it should not be used on pregnant or lactating animals, or those with a history of sensitivity to Amitraz or other formamidine compounds. Overall, Amitraz-D3 is a valuable tool in the control of pests in animals, but its usage must be carefully monitored and controlled to minimize any potential negative impacts on the environment or human health.
