• Synonyms: O,O-Diethyl-O-(p-nitrophenyl)thionophosphatediethyl 4-nitrophenylphosphorothionate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Parathion-ethyl is a member of the organophosphate class of pesticides. It inhibits acetylcholinesterase and is used to control insects in agriculture, homes, and other areas. The compound can be detected by both the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the in vitro method for detecting enzyme activities. Parathion-ethyl has been shown to have minimal toxicity in animal studies, with acute toxicities ranging from mild to moderate. This pesticide has been shown to inhibit signal peptide cleavage and energy metabolism in cells. It also inhibits transcriptional activity when it binds to DNA, which may be due to its interaction with enzymes that are involved in transcriptional regulation or chromatographic analysis. Parathion-ethyl also has minimal toxicity in animals and shows acute toxicities ranging from mild to moderate. It has been shown to inhibit signal peptide cleavage and energy metabolism as well as transcriptional activity when it binds to DNA, possibly due to its interactions with
