Sign in to saveAlso known as paederine, pederine, (+)-pederin, (+)-pederine
Pederin is a vesicant toxic amide with two tetrahydropyran rings, found in the haemolymph of the beetle genus Paederus, including the Nairobi fly, belonging to the family Staphylinidae. It was first characterized by processing 25 million field-collected P. fuscipes. It makes up approximately 0.025% of an insect's weight (for P. fuscipes).
