Carbophenothion-methyl-sulfoxide

CAS: 62059-33-0

Carbophenothion-methyl-sulfoxide is an organophosphate sulfoxide compound, which is synthesized as a sulfoxide derivative from other organophosphate precursors. It acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting the normal function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is critical for nerve signal transmission in insects. This disruption leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine and subsequent insect paralysis and death. Carbophenothion-methyl-sulfoxide is primarily used in agricultural settings to target a broad spectrum of insect pests that affect crops. Its application can significantly reduce pest populations, ensuring crop protection and yield preservation. Being a sulfoxide variant, it may possess distinctive physicochemical properties that confer specific environmental behavior and degradation pathways compared to its non-sulfoxide counterparts. Proper handling and application are essential to minimize potential ecological impacts, including non-target species effects and resistance development.
