Paraoxon methyl

Description:
Paraoxon methyl, with the CAS number 950-35-6, is an organophosphate compound that is primarily known for its use as an insecticide and acaricide. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. Paraoxon methyl is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which plays a crucial role in the nervous system by breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Due to its mechanism of action, exposure to paraoxon methyl can lead to overstimulation of the nervous system, resulting in symptoms such as muscle twitching, respiratory distress, and potentially fatal outcomes if not treated promptly. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is important to handle paraoxon methyl with caution, as it is classified as highly toxic to humans and wildlife. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in agricultural or laboratory settings.
