Product Information

• Name: Chlorpropham
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chlorpropham is a chemical compound that is used as a pesticide. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme cholinesterase, which prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, leading to paralysis and death in insects. Chlorpropham has been shown to be highly toxic to mammals, with an LD50 in mice of 4 mg/kg. This toxicity may be due to inhibition of carthamus tinctorius and long-term exposure studies have shown that chlorpropham causes liver damage and other organ damage in rats. The mechanism for this toxicity may be due to its reaction with anhydrous sodium glucuronide, forming a reactive intermediate that reacts with sulfhydryl groups on proteins. ; Chlorpropham also has been shown to cause reproductive toxicity in male rats, such as decreased sperm motility and reduced weight of the prostate gland. In addition, chlorpropham has been found to induce DNA damage at high doses (400 mg/
