Phosphamidon is an organophosphate insecticide first reported in 1960.[3][2] It acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor.

The commercial product typically exists as a mixture of 70% (Z)-isomer and 30% (E)-isomer.[1]

Toxicity and regulation

[edit]

Phosphamidon is very highly toxic to mammals and is listed as WHO Hazard Class Ia.[1] A harvester developed symptoms of moderately severe poisoning after working in a field that had been sprayed with the chemical 2 weeks earlier. He collapsed and exhibited significant depression of serum cholinesterase, but recovered completely within 2 days after successful treatment with atropine.[4] International trade of phosphamidon is covered by the Rotterdam Convention.
