Triethylenephosphoramide (CAS 545-55-1)
QUICK LINKS
Triethylenephosphoramide (TEPA) is a chemical used as insect chemosterilant, used in dyeing and is an antineoplastic. It has been studied for its ability to inhibit DNA synthesis and cell division. Triethylenephosphoramide is an alkylating agent, which means that it forms covalent bonds with DNA and other cellular components, causing DNA damage and inhibiting cancer cell growth. Triethylenephosphoramide is also a cholinesterase inhibitor, which means that it blocks the activity of cholinesterase enzymes in an insect′s nervous system. Cholinesterase enzymes are responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. By blocking cholinesterase activity, Triethylenephosphoramide causes the accumulation of acetylcholine, which leads to overstimulation of the insect′s nervous system and ultimately paralysis and death.
