2-nitromethylenetetrahydro-2H-1,3-thiazine

BeschreibungNithiazine and other members of the nitromethylene family were shown at an early stage in their development to be cholinergic agonists (and antagonists) by electrophysiology (6). However, unlike nicotine, they mostly act as partial agonists and are open channel blockers, a property resulting from their partial positive charge.

VerwendenNithiazine is used as an active ingredient in fly strips (e.g., QuickStrikes Fly Abatement Strip, Sandoz 9023 fly bait station). The strips are most effective against houseflies (Musca domestica). They can be placed in or around the house, animal housing, recycling facilities, or other facilities where abundant houseflies are a nuisance; however, the manufacturer currently does not support residential uses.
