| Chemical equation | C22H19CI2NO3 |
| CAS Number | 67375-30-8 |
| Common Name | Alpha-cypermethrin, alfoxylate, alphamethrin |
| Biochemistry | Acts by preventing transmission of impulses along nerves, brought about by blocking the passage of sodium ions through sodium channels in nerve membranes thus preventing action potentials passing down axons. Typically this intoxication results in a rapid "knockdown" and resultant mortality. |
