Abstract

Pesticides such as Malathion, have been considered harmful to health, reason why the search for new compounds that are friendly to humans and the environment becomes necessary. With knowledge of its properties and molecule structure, it is possible, to propose new compounds which are less toxic than the original without altering its organ phosphorus characteristics. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the Malathion properties at molecular level, for the purpose of presenting a compound as a replacement, in order to reduce its toxicity. The properties of absorption, metabolism and toxicity of each possible molecule were evaluated, from which a less toxic compound that still preserves characteristics as an organ phosphorus insecticide was obtained.
