What is the mechanism of action of spiropidion and its environmental characteristics?

Label:chem

Topic
Spiropidion is a piperidine-containing spirocyclic tetronic acid insecticide developed by Syngenta.
Answer
Spiropidion functions as a lipid biosynthesis inhibitor by inhibiting the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), disrupting lipid synthesis, and ultimately leading to pest death. It possesses advantageous toxicological and environmental properties, and is not detrimental to pollinating insects and non-target organisms.
