CAS 78-53-5
:Amiton
Description:
Amiton, with the CAS number 78-53-5, is an organophosphorus compound that was initially developed as an insecticide and acaricide. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in both insects and mammals. This inhibition leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine, resulting in overstimulation of the nervous system, which can be toxic. Amiton is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Due to its high toxicity, particularly through inhalation and dermal exposure, Amiton is classified as a hazardous substance and is subject to strict regulations in many countries. Its use has been largely restricted or banned in various regions due to concerns over environmental impact and human health risks. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, and it is important to follow appropriate guidelines to mitigate exposure risks.
