Fipronil sulfide is a toxic, persistent metabolite of Fipronil. Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide [1].
In Vitro, Fipronil sulfide is a secondary transformation product of Fipronil during TiO2-mediated photocatalysis under UVA or solar radiation, and it undergoes further degradation to form (2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethyl-phenylazo)-acetonitrile[1].
