QUICK LINKS

Bis-(2-chloroisopropyl) ether (BCME) is a chemical compound characterized by an ether linkage connecting two chlorine atoms and one methylethyl group. It has been observed to inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This inhibition can result in elevated levels of acetylcholine in the brain, potentially impacting cognitive functions like memory and learning. Moreover, Bis(2-chloroisopropyl) ether is an organochlorine pesticide used in agriculture as a nematicide to control parasitic nematodes.
