CAS 315-18-4: Mexacarbate
Description:Mexacarbate, with the CAS number 315-18-4, is an organic compound primarily recognized for its use as a pesticide, particularly in agricultural applications. It belongs to the class of carbamate compounds, which are characterized by the presence of the carbamate functional group (-NH2COO-). Mexacarbate exhibits properties that allow it to act as an insecticide, targeting a variety of pests while being less toxic to mammals compared to some other pesticides. The compound is typically applied in formulations that enhance its efficacy and stability in the environment. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft, which disrupts normal nerve function in insects. Mexacarbate is generally considered to have a moderate environmental persistence, and its use is regulated in many countries to mitigate potential ecological impacts. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to minimize risks to human health and the environment.
