CAS 25311-71-1: Isofenphos
Description:Isofenphos is an organophosphorus 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 paralysis and death. Isofenphos 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. The compound is known for its effectiveness against a wide range of pests, making it valuable in crop protection. However, due to its toxicity, particularly to non-target organisms including humans and wildlife, its use is regulated in many countries. Safety measures are essential when handling isofenphos to mitigate potential health risks. Additionally, environmental considerations are important, as the compound can persist in soil and water, potentially affecting ecosystems. Overall, while isofenphos serves as an effective pest control agent, its application requires careful management to minimize adverse effects.
