CAS 950-37-8: Methidathion

Description: Methidathion is an organophosphate compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to paralysis and death. Methidathion is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is known for its moderate toxicity to humans and other non-target organisms, necessitating careful handling and application. Its chemical structure includes a phosphorus atom bonded to sulfur and oxygen, contributing to its reactivity and biological activity. Due to environmental and health concerns, the use of methidathion has been restricted or banned in several countries, prompting the search for safer alternatives in pest management. Proper safety measures, including personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance to mitigate potential risks.
