Insecticide： Chlorfenapyr

doi:10.12116/j.issn.1004-5619.2026.360304

Abstract

Abstract:

Chlorfenapyr is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide derived from natural pyrrole derivatives. After entering the body, it is rapidly converted into the active metabolite tralopyril. At present, there is no specific antidote for chlorfenapyr poisoning. The mortality rate associated with this substance is relatively high, because of the latent period following exposure. In recent years, cases of poisoning caused by chlorfenapyr have been increasing. Based on relevant domestic and international research, this paper systematically reviews the toxicological effects, toxicity data, poisoning symptoms, in vivo processes of chlorfenapyr, as well as the toxicological data from typical cases, with the aim of providing a reference for forensic identification.

Key words: forensic medicine, toxicological analysis, chlorfenapyr, toxicological effect, poisoning symptom, invivo process
