CAS 2275-18-5: Prothoate
Description:Prothoate, with the CAS number 2275-18-5, is an organophosphate compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to their paralysis and death. Prothoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical structure includes a phosphate group, which contributes to its biological activity and toxicity profile. Due to its mode of action, prothoate poses potential risks to non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and mammals, necessitating careful handling and application. Regulatory agencies often monitor its use to mitigate environmental impact and ensure safety in agricultural practices. As with many pesticides, adherence to safety guidelines and regulations is essential to minimize risks associated with its application.
