Pyrinuron (Pyriminil, Vacor) is a chemical compound formerly used as a rodenticide.[1] Commercial distribution was voluntarily suspended in 1979 and it is not approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for use in the United States.[2] If it is ingested by humans in high doses, it may selectively destroy insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas causing type 1 diabetes.[2] The neurodegeneration associated with Vacor is caused by its conversion to Vacor-mononucleotide (VMN) by NAMPT and VMN's subsequent activation of the NADase SARM1.[3]
