CAS 150-50-5: Merphos
Description:Merphos, with the CAS number 150-50-5, is a chemical compound known as a phosphorothioate. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a phosphorus atom bonded to sulfur and oxygen, contributing to its unique chemical properties. Merphos is primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications, targeting a variety of pests while being less harmful to beneficial insects when used appropriately. The compound exhibits moderate toxicity to humans and animals, necessitating careful handling and application to minimize exposure risks. Its mode of action typically involves the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, an essential enzyme in the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death of the target organism. Additionally, Merphos is subject to regulatory scrutiny due to its potential environmental impact, particularly concerning aquatic organisms. As with many pesticides, its use is governed by specific guidelines to ensure safety and efficacy in pest management practices.
