Primary Use
Organochlorine insecticide and acaricide
Alpha-endosulfan is an organochlorine insecticide and acaricide that acts by blocking the GABA-gated chloride channel in insects. It has been the subject of global controversy due to its acute toxicity, potential for bioaccumulation, and endocrine-disrupting properties, leading to a worldwide ban under the Stockholm Convention in 2011.
