Fenitrooxon

Description:
Fenitrooxon, with the CAS number 2255-17-6, is an organophosphate compound that serves as a metabolite of the insecticide fenitrothion. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme critical for the proper functioning of the nervous system in both insects and mammals. This inhibition leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine at nerve synapses, resulting in neurotoxic effects. Fenitrooxon is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a relatively low volatility, making it persistent in the environment. Its solubility in organic solvents is higher than in water, which influences its behavior in ecological systems. The compound is subject to regulatory scrutiny due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, particularly in agricultural settings. Safety measures are essential when handling fenitrooxon, as exposure can lead to acute and chronic health effects. Overall, fenitrooxon exemplifies the challenges associated with organophosphate compounds in terms of both pest control efficacy and environmental safety.
