Product Description
1R-cis-Permethrin is an insecticide and neurotoxin. 1R-cis-Permethrin affects neuronal membranes by prolonging sodium channel activation.
1R‑cis‑Permethrin (also known as cis‑permethrin dipropyl ester, 1R‑cis‑NRDC‑143, CAS 54774‑45‑7) is a single stereoisomer of permethrin characterised by a 1R,cis configuration. Unlike the trans isomers, the cis configuration places the two substituents on the cyclopropane ring on the same side, which generally results in higher insecticidal potency against certain insects but also higher mammalian toxicity compared to trans isomers. This compound is used in research to understand the stereochemical requirements for sodium channel modulation and to develop isomer‑specific analytical methods.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
1R‑cis‑Permethrin targets the voltage‑gated sodium channel (VGSC) in insects, binding to the same receptor site as other pyrethroids. The cis configuration allows a more favourable interaction with the channel, often leading to a slower dissociation rate and thus longer‑lasting channel modification. Its affinity (KD) for housefly sodium channels is approximately 1‑3 nM, similar to or slightly higher than the trans isomers. It also shows a modest activity on GABA receptors, but the sodium channel is the dominant toxicological target. The stereospecificity is evident in its higher potency against lepidopteran pests compared to trans isomers.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 1R‑cis‑permethrin is a potent inhibitor of ³H‑BTX binding to insect sodium channels, with an IC₅₀ of approximately 2‑5 nM. In whole‑cell patch‑clamp on Drosophila neurons, it induces a characteristic tail current after depolarisation, with an EC₅₀ of ~5 nM. In mammalian cells, it is considerably less potent (IC₅₀ >1 µM). The compound shows anti‑proliferative effects in insect cell lines with IC₅₀ values of 0.5‑2 µM. Its stability in biological matrices is higher than trans isomers due to slower esterase hydrolysis, which contributes to its persistence.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 1R‑cis‑permethrin exhibits a topical LD₅₀ of about 0.05‑0.1 µg per housefly, making it one of the most potent pyrethroid isomers. In rats, the oral LD₅₀ is approximately 200‑300 mg/kg, which is lower (more toxic) than the trans isomers, reflecting the cis configuration's higher affinity for mammalian sodium channels. In agricultural applications, it provides excellent residual activity. In a mouse model of permethrin poisoning, the cis isomer induces more severe and prolonged clinical signs (tremor, choreoathetosis) than trans isomers at equivalent doses.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro binding assays: insect head membranes (100 µg protein) are incubated with ³H‑BTX (5 nM) and unlabelled 1R‑cis‑permethrin (0.1‑100 nM) in 10 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) with 0.1% BSA for 60 min. Filtration and counting determine bound radioactivity. IC₅₀ values are derived. For metabolic stability, the compound is incubated with rat liver microsomes (0.5 mg/mL) and NADPH at 37°C; remaining parent compound is quantified by HPLC at 0, 10, 20, 40, 60 min to calculate half‑life. The cis isomer is typically metabolised 2‑3 times slower than trans.
Cell Assay
Cell‑based assays use SH‑SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells to assess mammalian cytotoxicity. Cells are treated with 0.01‑100 µM compound for 48 h; viability is measured by CellTiter‑Glo. The IC₅₀ is typically 20‑50 µM, higher than in insects. For functional sodium channel assay, insect Sf9 cells expressing the Drosophila para sodium channel are used. A fluorescent membrane potential dye is applied, and cells are stimulated; the compound's effect on repolarisation kinetics is recorded in a plate reader format. The EC₅₀ for potentiating depolarisation is calculated.
Animal Protocol
In vivo insect bioassays: adult houseflies are anaesthetised with CO₂ and dosed topically with 0.5 µL of acetone solutions (0.01‑1 µg). Mortality is scored at 4, 8, 24, and 48 h. For mammals, Sprague‑Dawley rats are dosed orally (50‑400 mg/kg) with the compound in corn oil and observed for 14 days. The LD₅₀ and clinical signs are recorded. Tissue samples (brain, liver, fat) are collected at sacrifice for residue analysis using GC‑MS to determine tissue distribution.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics in rats: 1R‑cis‑permethrin is absorbed with a Tmax of 2‑4 h and exhibits a longer half‑life than trans isomers (approximately 12‑24 h) due to slower ester cleavage. It has high lipophilicity (logP 6.5) and distributes extensively to adipose tissue. Metabolism is via CYP‑mediated oxidation (mainly at the methyl groups) followed by conjugation. Excretion is predominantly in faeces (>80%), with less in urine. The cis isomer shows higher potential for tissue accumulation with repeated dosing compared to trans.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology: the cis isomer is more neurotoxic to mammals than trans; the oral LD₅₀ in rats is 200‑400 mg/kg, compared to 500‑1000 mg/kg for trans. Single high doses cause tremors, salivation, and hyperthermia. No carcinogenicity is seen in chronic studies. The compound is also more toxic to fish (LC₅₀ 0.5‑2 ppb), reflecting its persistence. It is a moderate skin irritant. The acceptable operator exposure limit (AOEL) for permethrin (as a mixture) accounts for the cis isomer's greater toxicity.

Additional Infomation
pyrethroid insecticide commonly used to treat lice infestations and scabies.
Additional information: 1R‑cis‑Permethrin (CAS 54774‑45‑7) is one of the most potent insecticidal isomers and is a key component of many commercial permethrin formulations, which typically contain 20‑40% cis and 60‑80% trans isomers. The cis content significantly influences the overall efficacy and mammalian toxicity of the mixture. It is a pale yellow liquid at room temperature. It is not used as a standalone therapeutic agent. Its research applications include studies on insecticide resistance and sodium channel mutations. Storage should be at 4°C in the dark to prevent photodegradation.
