1,3-Isobenzofurandione, 5,6-dimethoxy-

Description:

1,3-Isobenzofurandione, 5,6-dimethoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its unique bicyclic structure, which includes a benzene ring fused to a dioxole. This compound features two methoxy groups (-OCH3) at the 5 and 6 positions of the isobenzofurandione framework, contributing to its chemical reactivity and potential applications. It is typically a yellow to brown solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The presence of the methoxy groups can influence its electronic properties, making it of interest in various chemical reactions, including those involving electrophilic substitution. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, which has led to research into its potential applications in pharmaceuticals or as a precursor in organic synthesis. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety data and potential hazards associated with its use.

CAS: 4821-94-7

5,6-Dimethoxyisobenzofuran-1,3-dione is a hydrolysis product of the organophosphates paraoxon and parathion. It is used as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in high-throughput screening for drug discovery. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by 5,6-dimethoxyisobenzofuran-1,3-dione leads to a build up of acetylcholine in the synapse and increased transmission of nerve impulses. This reaction can be monitored using a fluorometric assay with an electron transfer probe that detects fluorescence intensity. Fluorometric assays are also used to monitor the activity of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). These enzymes are found in blood plasma and have been used as biomarkers for exposure to organophosphates.5,6-
