Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel insecticidal composition comprising pyrethroid insecticide as an active ingredient.
- the present invention relates to a novel and effective liquid insecticidal composition comprising Renofluthrin as an active ingredient, wherein the said composition exhibits significant mosquito repellent and insect control activity.
- the present invention further relates to the process of preparation of such insecticidal composition.
- Mosquito menace is a global problem. Diseases like malaria, filariasis, Dengue fever, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, Ross river virus, Burma forest virus, Murray Valley encephalitis etc, are known to spread through mosquitoes. Even developed countries such as USA have seen a resurgence of mosquito menace and diseases like west Nile virus in the 21 st century. Developing and least developed countries from Africa, Asia, and Latin America and rest of the world have been unsuccessfully attempting to control the mosquito menace and to eradicate the scourge of malaria and other diseases.
- Insecticides of various classes of chemical compounds such as pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbamates, etc. can be applied to control the pest species. These chemicals are included in the composition of the insecticidal products as active ingredients.
- Such insectoacaricidal formulations are available in the form of containerized aerosols, ready to- use liquids in propellant free package, dustable powders, wettable powders, soluble powders, tablets and granules, emulsions and their concentrates (macro-, micro-, suspoemulsions, flowable and microencapsulated formulations), baits of all the kinds, bait stations, sticky traps, electric heaters with mosquito mats and liquid vaporizers, coils, spirals, incense, crayons, gels, creams, lotions, shampoos etc.
- Pyrethrum is an insecticide of a natural origin, and is endowed with very positive characteristics, such as high insecticide activity and a very low toxicity for mammals.
- natural pyrethrum is readily oxidized by air in the presence of light (photooxidation) and is easily degraded, and therefore it is not suited for insecticidal applications.
- liquid vaporising compositions may have high photo-oxidation and work at perpetually high active concentrations.
- the liquid vaporisers are designed to work in closed spaces hence the risk of being exposed to such high amount of insecticidal composition can be perceived as a risk to health of the user.
- Renofluthrin is found to be effective and practical for use in existing known formulation types and also has potential to adapt for developing new formulations and delivery systems.
- Active ingredient, 'Renofluthrin' is isomeric composition of 2, 3, 5, 6- tetrafluoro-4- (methoxym ethyl) benzyl3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2- dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylate, wherein total trans isomers (1R,3S and 1S,3R are present in almost equal amounts) ranging from 90% to 99.90% and total cis isomers (1R,3R and 1S,3S are present in almost equal amounts) ranging from 0.1 to 10%.
- a liquid insecticidal composition which is safer to use and economically advantageous.
- the present invention aims to overcome the problems in the prior art and provide a stable and effective liquid insecticidal composition comprising of Renofluthrin as an active ingredient.
- the present invention relates to a novel and effective insecticidal composition
- a novel and effective insecticidal composition comprising: a) Renofluthrin; and b) One or more chemically acceptable excipients.
- the insecticidal composition comprises: a) Renofluthrin present in an amount ranging from 0.01% to 5% weight of the total composition; and b) One or more chemically acceptable excipients.
- the present invention provides a process of preparation of the insecticidal composition comprising: a) Renofluthrin present in an amount ranging from 0.01% to 5% weight of the total composition; and b) One or more chemically acceptable excipients.
- the insecticidal composition comprises Renofluthrin, present in an amount ranging from 0.2% to 2.0% by weight of the total composition.
- the present invention provides a process of preparation of the insecticidal liquid composition from Renofluthrin Technical.
- the present invention provides a process of preparation of the insecticidal liquid composition from MUP comprising Renofluthrin.
- the present invention provides a process of preparation of the insecticidal liquid composition from 5% MUP comprising Renofluthrin.
- the insecticidal composition comprises Renoflutrhin or 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4- (methoxymethyl)benzyl3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylate, wherein total trans isomers (1R,3S and 1S,3R are present in almost equal amounts) ranging from 90% to 99.90% and total cis isomers (1R,3R and 1S,3S are present in almost equal amounts) ranging from 0.1 to 10% as active ingredient.
- the present insecticidal composition is used to kill, knockdown and/or repel mosquitoes & insects.
- the present insecticidal composition can be formulated as composition for emanation by a heat source, liquid vaporiser composition, electric liquid vaporiser composition, insect repellent liquid vaporiser composition with a wick, etc.
- the insecticidal composition requires a wick that vaporises the insecticidal composition upon heating and releases the repellent composition in the air.
- the present insecticidal composition is a Ready to Use formulation for repelling/ controlling mosquitoes & insects in the indoor spaces.
- insects refers to flying and/or crawling insects and other insects in the public hygiene area including but not limited to all the species of mosquito, housefly, sand fly, stable and face fly etc.
- control refers to kill, knockdown and/or repel mosquitoes, other insects and flies.
- active ingredient refers to that component of the composition responsible for control and killing of mosquitoes, other insects and flies.
- RNF Rifluthrin also abbreviated as RNF” used herein refers to 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-(methoxymethyl)benzyl3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2- dimethylcyclopropane carboxylate, wherein total trans isomers (1R,3S and 1S,3R are present in almost equal amounts) ranging from 90% to 99.90% and total cis isomers (1R,3R and 1S,3S are present in almost equal amounts) ranging from 0.1 to 10%.
- Trans refers to (1R,3S) and (1S,3R).

Description
RENOFLUTHRIN INSECTICIDAL COMPOSITION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel insecticidal composition comprising pyrethroid insecticide as an active ingredient. Particularly, the present invention relates to a novel and effective liquid insecticidal composition comprising Renofluthrin as an active ingredient, wherein the said composition exhibits significant mosquito repellent and insect control activity. The present invention further relates to the process of preparation of such insecticidal composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Mosquito menace is a global problem. Diseases like malaria, filariasis, Dengue fever, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, Ross river virus, Burma forest virus, Murray Valley encephalitis etc, are known to spread through mosquitoes. Even developed countries such as USA have seen a resurgence of mosquito menace and diseases like west Nile virus in the 21st century. Developing and least developed countries from Africa, Asia, and Latin America and rest of the world have been unsuccessfully attempting to control the mosquito menace and to eradicate the scourge of malaria and other diseases.
Insecticides of various classes of chemical compounds such as pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbamates, etc. can be applied to control the pest species. These chemicals are included in the composition of the insecticidal products as active ingredients. Such insectoacaricidal formulations are available in the form of containerized aerosols, ready to- use liquids in propellant free package, dustable powders, wettable powders, soluble powders, tablets and granules, emulsions and their concentrates (macro-, micro-, suspoemulsions, flowable and microencapsulated formulations), baits of all the kinds, bait stations,
sticky traps, electric heaters with mosquito mats and liquid vaporizers, coils, spirals, incense, crayons, gels, creams, lotions, shampoos etc.
Pyrethrum is an insecticide of a natural origin, and is endowed with very positive characteristics, such as high insecticide activity and a very low toxicity for mammals. However, natural pyrethrum is readily oxidized by air in the presence of light (photooxidation) and is easily degraded, and therefore it is not suited for insecticidal applications.
Numerous compounds have been synthetized, which have a slightly modified structure of natural pyrethrum in order to preserve the insecticidal action and the low toxicity to mammals, while at the same time imparting to the molecule a sufficient fastness to light, so as to allow its use in insecticidal applications.
Whilst some of these compounds (synthetic pyrethroids) possess the characteristics mentioned above, conventionally used liquid vaporising compositions may have high photo-oxidation and work at perpetually high active concentrations. The liquid vaporisers are designed to work in closed spaces hence the risk of being exposed to such high amount of insecticidal composition can be perceived as a risk to health of the user. Thus, it is necessary to formulate a suitable composition that is efficacious and safe.
Recently, the inventors of IN316787 have developed a novel active ingredient 'Renofluthrin' which is found to be effective as a household insecticide. Renofluthrin is found to be effective and practical for use in existing known formulation types and also has potential to adapt for developing new formulations and delivery systems. Active ingredient, 'Renofluthrin' is isomeric composition of 2, 3, 5, 6- tetrafluoro-4- (methoxym ethyl) benzyl3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2- dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylate, wherein total trans isomers (1R,3S and 1S,3R are present in almost equal amounts) ranging from 90% to 99.90% and total cis isomers
(1R,3R and 1S,3S are present in almost equal amounts) ranging from 0.1 to 10%. Hitherto, there is a need in the art to formulate a liquid insecticidal composition which is safer to use and economically advantageous. These objectives can be achieved by providing an insecticidal composition that can achieve improved knock down efficacy at lower amount of active as compared to the conventionally used insecticides.
Therefore, the present invention aims to overcome the problems in the prior art and provide a stable and effective liquid insecticidal composition comprising of Renofluthrin as an active ingredient.

Toxicity Profile of Renofluthrin
In an insecticide / pesticide compound, toxicity and efficacy play a vital role. New insecticide compounds are based on their effect on target pests and their Toxicology profile. For indoor use, inhalational toxicity is very important.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
In mosquito repellent and flying insect repellent products, Inhalation toxicity is very important. Most flying insect repellent products are based on evaporation and vapours of the active ingredient. Household
insecticide product forms like coils, mats, aerosol sprays, liquid evaporators, other forms of burning and vaporising formulations are based on evaporation of the active ingredient. Concentration in air of the insecticide and its evaporation are the most important aspects in flying insect repellent product.
Inhalation toxicity is measured in 'Lethal concentration' LC50 values. LC50 (lethal concentration) is expressed as weight of test substance per standard volume of air (i.e. mg/L). Higher the mg/L value of LC50, lower the inhalation toxicity and safer the product.
Known insecticide compounds have the following reported LC50 values:
• Insecticide 'Prallethrin' LC50 is 0.658 mg/L (reported in literature in unit of measurement 658 mg/m3 which in mg/L is 0.658)
• Insecticide 'Transfluthrin' LC50 is 0.513 mg/L (reported in literature in unit of measurement 513 mg/m3 which in mg/L is 0.513)
• Insecticide 'Metofluthrin' LC50 is reported as > 1.08 and < 1.96 mg/L
These results are published and reported for the respective insecticides.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity Study of Renofluthrin was performed in Rats as per OECD guideline No. 403. In Globally Harmonized System of Classifications and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), for Dust & mists (mg/1), the insecticide 'Renofluthrin' of the present invention falls in category 4 which is > 1.0 and < 5 mg/L. which shows that Renofluthrin has the lowest Inhalation toxicity amongst all the compounds commonly used as active ingredient in household insecticide products.
Bio-efficacy and activity of Insecticidal Liquid Vaporiser composition comprising Renofluthrin
The comparative, bio-efficacy of Renofluthrin liquid insecticidal composition, on target pests has been established vis-a-vis commonly marketed liquid vaporiser compositions containing Transfluthrin 0.88% and 1.6% against free flying mosquitoes’ species Aedes aegypti ’ in Peet Grandy Chamber. Mosquito species Aedes aegypti ’ is a major vector of dengue fever, chikungunya and yellow fever viruses, and other viral diseases. The effectiveness and efficacy of insecticidal liquid composition were tested for Renofluthrin samples @ 0.5%, 0.7% and 0.9% w/w. A comparative study was also carried out to evaluate the bio-efficacy of Renofluthrin against Transfluthrin. Transfluthrin is a fast-acting pyrethroid insecticide and most widely used mosquito repellent. It is available as Transfluthrin 0.88 % & 1.60 % Liquid Vaporizer composition in the market.
The effectiveness / efficacy of mosquito repellent formulation is normally measured in “Knock-down time” (KT) in minutes of percentage of the test population of mosquitoes i.e. KT50 and KT90 values, referring to knock down time of 50% and 90% of the test insects quantity respectively. Lower the time in minutes required for KT Value, higher the effectiveness of the insecticide. Results can vary based on study conditions, mosquito species, and protocols.

The purpose of the study was to assess the bio-efficacy of Liquid Vaporizer (LV) samples (Renofluthrin with different concentrations) against 0.88% and 1.6% Transfluthrin against Aedes aegypti species of mosquito in Peet Grandy Chamber. The LVs were pre-heated for about 24 hours for wick saturation. Before starting the experiment, initial weight of LV was recorded, and test was started with cold start (without preheating). The LV with heater was placed in the centre of the chamber and was switched on. The number of insects knockdown were counted
and recorded every 2 minutes upto 20 minutes and there after every 5 minutes upto 60 minutes.
The order of efficacy for KT90 was as follows Renofluthrin 0.9% LV >
Renofluthrin 0.7% LV > Renofluthrin 0.5% LV > Transfluthrin 1.6% LV > Transfluthrin 0.88% LV.
(Lower minutes shows better effect)
From the above table it is evident that Renofluthrin 0.9% LV showed the best results by recording lowest KT50 and KT90 values as against other samples, followed by Renofluthrin 0.7% LV. Further both Renofluthrin 0.9% & 0.7% LV have shown better efficacy as compared to both Transfluthrin 0.88% LV and Transfluthrin 1.6% LV.
Renofluthrin at a lower dose of 0.5% LV also demonstrated results that were at par with both Transfluthrin 0.88% LV and Transfluthrin 1.6% LV.
Thus, the inventors of the present invention have successfully demonstrated improved bio-efficacy of Renofluthrin over the existing LV formulation of Transfluthrin that is widely used in the market. Further Renofluthrin shows enhanced mosquito control at a much lower dose of active, thus reducing the risk of being exposed to high amount of active present in such household insect repellent products. From the foregoing it will be observed that numerous modifications and variations can be effectuated without departing from the true spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the present invention. It is to be understood that no limitations with respect to the specific embodiments illustrated is intended or should be inferred. It should be understood that all such modifications and improvements are properly covered within the scope of this application.
