Pellitorine is primarily used in agricultural applications as a natural insecticide. It exhibits strong insecticidal and antifeedant properties, making it effective in protecting crops from various pest infestations. Due to its origin from plant sources, it is considered a biopesticide and is favored in organic farming and integrated pest management strategies. It disrupts the feeding behavior of insects and can inhibit larval development, reducing pest populations over time. Its biodegradable nature and low toxicity to non-target organisms enhance its suitability for sustainable agriculture. Additionally, pellitorine has shown potential in pharmaceutical research for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities, though these applications are still under investigation. It is also studied in biological research for its effects on ion channels in nerve cells, contributing to understanding sensory and neurological mechanisms.
