CAS 1129-41-5: Metolcarb
Description:Metolcarb, with the CAS number 1129-41-5, is a chemical compound primarily used as a pesticide, specifically as an insecticide and acaricide. It belongs to the class of carbamate compounds, which are known for their ability to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in the nervous system of pests. This mechanism results in paralysis and death of the target organisms. Metolcarb is characterized by its relatively low toxicity to mammals compared to other pesticides, making it a preferred choice in agricultural applications. It is typically applied in various formulations, including granules and emulsifiable concentrates, and is effective against a range of pests, including aphids and spider mites. Additionally, Metolcarb is soluble in organic solvents, which facilitates its application in different environments. However, like many pesticides, it requires careful handling and adherence to safety guidelines to minimize environmental impact and ensure human safety.
