Pirimiphos-methyl-d6

[Synonym ]:
Phosphorothioic acid, O-[2-(diethylamino)-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl] O,O-dimethyl-d3 ester

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Pirimiphos-methyl-d6 is the deuterium labeled Pirimiphos-methyl. Pirimiphos-methyl is a rapid-acting organophosphorus insecticide and acaricide, causing inhibition of AChE in target organisms. Pirimiphos-methyl is often used for prevention and control of beetles, snout beetles, moths and Ephestia cautella during storage of agricultural grains[1][2][3].

[In Vitro]

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
