Diisobutyl methylphosphonate (CAS 7242-56-0)
QUICK LINKS
Diisobutyl methylphosphonate (DIMP) is a phosphonate ester, signifying it contains a phosphorus atom with bonds to two organic groups and an oxygen atom. Its high stability and low toxicity make it an optimal selection for laboratory experiments, particularly within the realms of biochemistry and pharmacology. Diisobutyl methylphosphonate is frequently employed as a reference standard for the analysis of nerve agents, aiding in identifying and quantifying these compounds in environmental samples. It′s also used as a model compound to investigate the biochemical and physiological effects of nerve agents on the human body. Diisobutyl methylphosphonate functions by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase—an enzyme accountable for the breakdown of acetylcholine in the body—resulting in an accumulation of acetylcholine, which may trigger a variety of physiological and biochemical effects.
