Paraquat
Paraquat is the trade name for N, N -dimethyl-4, 4 -bipyridinium dichloride, one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. A large majority (93%) of fatalities from paraquat poisoning are cases of intentional self-administration, ie, suicides. In third world countries, paraquat is a major suicide agent.. Not a potent inhibitor of cholinesterases
