Description and Uses
Norbormide was first introduced on the market in 1964 as a selective raticide, but does not have a current registration for commercial use in the European Union or North America. Current use as a pesticide is minimal to nonexistent worldwide. This compound’s toxicity is highly specific for rats.
The only commercial use was as a rodenticide specifically for Rattus species. However, there have been some reports of this compound or its derivatives being investigated as a calcium channel blocker for use as a potential drug to treat human cardiovascular disease.
