:Toxaphene
Description:
Toxaphene is a complex mixture of chlorinated terpenes, primarily derived from the chemical compound camphene. It was widely used as a pesticide, particularly for agricultural applications, due to its effectiveness against a variety of pests. Toxaphene is characterized by its oily consistency and yellow to brown color. It is known for its persistence in the environment, leading to bioaccumulation in the food chain and potential long-term ecological impacts. The substance is classified as a probable human carcinogen and has been associated with various health risks, including endocrine disruption and neurotoxicity. Due to these concerns, its use has been banned or severely restricted in many countries since the late 20th century. Toxaphene is soluble in organic solvents but has low solubility in water, which contributes to its environmental persistence. Its chemical structure includes multiple chlorine atoms, which enhance its stability and toxicity. Overall, Toxaphene exemplifies the challenges posed by persistent organic pollutants in both environmental and public health contexts.

CAS:Controlled Product<p>Toxaphene is a potent inhibitor of cell cycle progression and apoptosis in cancer cells. It has been shown to have anticancer properties in various human cancer cell lines, including breast, prostate, and lung cancers. Toxaphene can inhibit the activity of protein kinases involved in cell proliferation and survival, leading to decreased tumor growth. Additionally, it has been used medicinally as an inhibitor of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line growth and urinary bladder tumors in rats. Toxaphene is a promising candidate for the development of novel anticancer drugs due to its potent inhibitory effects on cancer cell growth and proliferation.</p>Formula:C10H8Cl8Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:411.8 g/mol
