:trans-S-Methoprene-Epoxide
Description:
Trans-S-Methoprene-Epoxide, with the CAS number 65277-96-5, is a synthetic organic compound primarily used as an insect growth regulator. It is a derivative of methoprene, which is known for its ability to disrupt the normal development of insects, particularly in the juvenile stages, thereby preventing them from maturing into reproductive adults. This compound exhibits characteristics typical of insect growth regulators, including low toxicity to mammals and birds, making it a preferred choice in pest management. Trans-S-Methoprene-Epoxide is generally stable under normal environmental conditions but may degrade when exposed to extreme pH levels or high temperatures. Its mode of action involves mimicking the natural hormones of insects, leading to abnormal growth and development. This compound is often utilized in agricultural settings, as well as in residential pest control, due to its effectiveness against a variety of insect pests while posing minimal risk to non-target organisms. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to mitigate any potential risks associated with its use.
