CAS 56-25-7: cantharidin

Description: Cantharidin is a naturally occurring chemical compound classified as a terpenoid, primarily derived from the blister beetle species, particularly those in the genus Lytta. It is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid at room temperature, with a high boiling point and low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents. Cantharidin is known for its potent vesicant properties, meaning it can cause blistering of the skin upon contact. This compound has been historically used in traditional medicine for its purported therapeutic effects, including as a treatment for warts and other skin conditions. However, it is also recognized for its toxicity, which can lead to serious health issues if ingested or improperly handled. The mechanism of action involves the inhibition of protein phosphatases, which disrupts cellular processes. Due to its toxic nature, cantharidin is regulated in many jurisdictions, and its use is limited to specific medical applications under professional supervision.
