CAS 62-74-8

Sodium fluoroacetate

Description:

Sodium fluoroacetate, with the CAS number 62-74-8, is a chemical compound that serves primarily as a pesticide and rodenticide. It is the sodium salt of fluoroacetic acid and is characterized by its white crystalline solid form. This compound is highly toxic, acting as a metabolic poison by inhibiting the enzyme aconitase in the citric acid cycle, which disrupts cellular respiration. Sodium fluoroacetate is soluble in water and has a relatively low vapor pressure, making it stable under normal conditions. Its toxicity is a significant concern, as it can be lethal to both target and non-target organisms, including humans, if ingested or improperly handled. Due to its hazardous nature, the use of sodium fluoroacetate is strictly regulated in many countries. In addition to its applications in pest control, it has also been studied for its potential effects in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in understanding metabolic pathways and mechanisms of toxicity. Proper safety measures and handling protocols are essential when working with this compound.

Sodium fluoroacetate

CAS: 62-74-8

Sodium fluoroacetate is a salt that is synthesized by the reaction of methyl ethyl and sodium trifluoroacetate. It has been used as an insecticide, but also has been used to treat metabolic disorders such as bowel disease and eye disorders. Sodium fluoroacetate also has been used in natural products for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. The toxicological studies of sodium fluoroacetate have shown that it can cause eye disorders and x-ray crystal structures have revealed its mechanism of action.
