chrysanthemolderived
Chrysanthemolderived refers to substances, compounds, or materials that are derived from or inspired by Chrysanthemum species, particularly the chrysanthemums used for pyrethrins. In broader usage, it encompasses natural products isolated from chrysanthemum flowers and synthetic or semisynthetic derivatives designed to resemble or extend the properties of these natural compounds. Central examples are pyrethrins, a family of insecticidal esters produced in the flowers of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium and Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium. Pyrethrins are valued for rapid knockdown and relatively low mammalian toxicity when used appropriately.
Many chrysanthemolderived substances are obtained by solvent extraction and purification of the flower material, followed by
Safety and environmental considerations are central, as pyrethroid derivatives can impact aquatic life and non-target insects;
