Imidacloprid-urea 是吡虫啉的次级代谢产物。吡虫啉是一种有效且广泛使用的新烟碱类化合物，对谷物，蔬菜，茶叶和棉花的害虫具有抑制作用。Imidacloprid-urea 可以占据或阻断吡虫啉在土壤上的吸附位点，从而可能影响吡虫啉在环境中的去向、转运和生物利用度。 Imidacloprid-urea with a role as a marine xenobiotic metabolite, is the primary imidacloprid soil metabolite, whereas imidacloprid-olefin is the main plant-relevant metabolite and is more toxic to insects than imidacloprid.
