Mipafox is a highly toxic organophosphate insecticide that is an irreversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and is resistant to cholinesterase reactivators.{{cite journal |last1=Mangas |first1=I |last2=Taylor |first2=P |last3=Vilanova |first3=E |last4=Estévez |first4=J |last5=França |first5=TC |last6=Komives |first6=E |last7=Radić |first7=Z |title=Resolving pathways of interaction of mipafox and a sarin analog with human acetylcholinesterase by kinetics, mass spectrometry and molecular modeling approaches. |journal=Archives of Toxicology |date=March 2016 |volume=90 |issue=3 |pages=603–16 |doi=10.1007/s00204-015-1481-1 |pmid=25743373 |pmc=4833118}} It was developed in the 1950s and is now believed to be no longer in use.{{Cite web | url = https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/332193/9789240005662-eng.pdf | title = The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard and Guidelines to Classification 2019| publisher = World Health Organization }}
Toxicity
There are case reports of delayed neurotoxicity and paralysis due to acute exposure to mipafox.{{cite journal |last1=BIDSTRUP |first1=PL |last2=BONNELL |first2=JA |last3=BECKETT |first3=AG |title=Paralysis following poisoning by a new organic phosphorus insecticide (mipafox); report on two cases. |journal=British Medical Journal |date=16 May 1953 |volume=1 |issue=4819 |pages=1068–72 |pmid=13042137 |pmc=2016450 |doi=10.1136/bmj.1.4819.1068}}
Synthesis
Phosphoryl chloride is first reacted with isopropylamine. The resulting product is then reacted with potassium fluoride or ammonium fluoride to produce mipafox.{{cite web |title=Process for the preparation of bisisopropyl-amino-fluoro-phosphine oxide |url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US2678334A}}
