代謝経路

Thiocyclam is a propesticide of the natural product nereistoxin which is a potent insect neurotoxin isolated from the annelid Lumbviconeveis hetevopoda. Thiocyclam is rapidly converted into nereistoxin in biological media, the latter being relatively stable. See the entry for cartap for some further information on nereistoxin.
