Sulfluramid (N-EtFOSA) is a chemical compound from the group of sulfonic acid amides andper- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) that is effective as aninsecticide. It acts as aprodrug to themitochondrial uncoupler (IRAC group 13)perfluorooctanesulfonamide.
Annual production increased from about 30 tons in 2003 to 60 tons in 2013.[1]
It is predominantly metabolized toperfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS),[2] but partly also toperfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).[3][4] Sulfluramid has been banned for almost all insecticidal applications; the only use still allowed by annex B of theStockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is a bait to control leaf-cutting ants.[5][6]
