Phosphorothioic acid,O-[2,5-dichloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl] O,O-diethyl ester

Description:

Phosphorothioic acid, O-[2,5-dichloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl] O,O-diethyl ester, commonly known by its CAS number 25900-20-3, is an organophosphorus compound characterized by its phosphorothioate structure. This compound features a phosphorus atom bonded to sulfur and oxygen, with two ethyl ester groups and a substituted aromatic ring containing dichloro and methylsulfonyl groups. It is typically used in agricultural applications as a pesticide or insecticide due to its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme critical for nerve function in pests. The presence of the dichloro and methylsulfonyl substituents enhances its biological activity and stability. As with many organophosphates, it poses potential health risks, necessitating careful handling and application to minimize environmental impact and human exposure. Its physical properties, such as solubility and volatility, can vary, influencing its behavior in different environments. Overall, this compound exemplifies the complex interplay between chemical structure and biological function in agrochemicals.

Chlorthiophos-sulfone

CAS: 25900-20-3

Chlorthiophos-sulfone is an anticancer drug that has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in humans. It works by blocking the activity of certain proteins, called kinases, that are involved in tumor growth and progression. Chlorthiophos-sulfone is a medicinal analog of a Chinese herbal medicine and has been found to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. This drug has also been shown to be a potent inhibitor of protein kinases, which are important targets for cancer therapy. Chlorthiophos-sulfone is excreted in urine and may have potential as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of various types of cancer.
