Chlorpyrifos-methyl

Description:

Chlorpyrifos-methyl, with the CAS number 5598-13-0, is an organophosphate insecticide that is primarily used in agricultural applications to control a variety of pests. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. This compound functions by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in the nervous system of insects, ultimately resulting in their death. Chlorpyrifos-methyl is known for its effectiveness against a wide range of insects, including those that affect crops and livestock. However, it is also associated with potential environmental and health risks, prompting regulatory scrutiny in various countries. Its use has been restricted or banned in some regions due to concerns about its impact on non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and human health. Chlorpyrifos-methyl is typically applied in agricultural settings, and its persistence in the environment can lead to contamination of soil and water sources. Proper handling and application are essential to mitigate risks associated with this chemical.

Controlled Product

CAS: 5598-13-0

Chlorpyrifos-methyl is a pesticide that belongs to the group of organophosphates. It inhibits the activity of cholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine at synapses, by binding to the active site of this enzyme. Chlorpyrifos-methyl has been shown to be highly resistant to degradation and has a detection sensitivity of 0.1 ppb in organic solvents such as acetone or acetate buffer. The rate constant for chlorpyrifos-methyl is 3 x 10 M/s. Chlorpyrifos-methyl is used in kinetic data analysis and is typically detected with colloidal gold or silver staining techniques. It binds strongly to protein samples, which means matrix effects are important when analyzing it. This pesticide can be detected using analytical methods including chromatographic analysis and kidney bean test kits.
