Phorate Oxon (CAS 2600-69-3)
QUICK LINKS
Phorate Oxon is a toxic metabolite of Phorate, an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine in synaptic junctions, causing continuous stimulation of muscles, glands, and the central nervous system. Phorate itself is used in agriculture to control nematodes, insects, and mites. The term "oxon" refers to the oxidation product of phorate. The conversion of phorate to phorate oxon involves the addition of oxygen to the molecular structure, a transformation that often occurs through environmental processes or metabolic actions within organisms. This transformation is an important aspect of the compound′s behavior in the environment and its interaction with target pests, influencing its effectiveness and persistence in agricultural applications.
