Overview
Metrifonate (INN) or trichlorfon (USAN) is an irreversible organophosphate acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.[1] It is a prodrug which is activated non-enzymatically into 2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP).
It is used as an insecticide.
It can be used to treat schistosomiasis caused by Schistoma haematobium but is no longer commercially available.[2]
It has been proposed for use in treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but use for that purpose is not currently recommended.[3]
