Informazioni sul prodotto

• Nome: 12alpha-Hydroxyrotenone
• Sinonimi: Rotenolone
• Marchio: Biosynth
• Descrizione: 12alpha-Hydroxyrotenone is a naturally occurring rotenoid, which is a type of isoflavonoid compound, prominently derived from the roots of certain subtropical and tropical leguminous plants belonging to the Fabaceae family, such as those in the genus Derris and Lonchocarpus. It operates as a potent mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor, specifically at complex I, consequently leading to an interruption in ATP synthesis and causing cellular energy depletion. This results in the paralysis and eventual death of target organisms, primarily insects. The compound's pesticidal properties make it significant in agricultural practices where it functions as a biopesticide for controlling a broad spectrum of insect pests. Its selective toxicity towards insects while being relatively non-toxic to mammals makes it an attractive alternative to synthetic chemical pesticides. Additionally, the understanding of its biochemical and environmental profiles assists researchers in developing sustainable pest management strategies while minimizing ecological impact.
