Paraoxon is an odorless, reddish-yellow oil.
Fruity odor.
A cholinesterase inhibitor
Paraoxon-ethyl has been used as a substrate?in paraoxonase (PON) activity assay. It has also been used as a lipase inhibitor to study the effects of anacetrapib on homotypic transfer from high density lipoprotein?L3 (HDL3)?to?HDL2?in vivo.
ChEBI: An aryl dialkyl phosphate where both the alkyl groups are ethyl and the aryl group is 4-nitrophenyl.
Reddish-yellow oily liquid with a faint fruity odor.
Organophosphates are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
Flash point data for PARAOXON are not available; however, PARAOXON is probably combustible.
Potent irreversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor
A deadly poison by ingestion,intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular,and parenteral routes. Mutation data reported. Humansystemic effects: coma, convulsions, miosis. Acholinesterase inhibitor. An insecticide. When heated todecompos
An organophosphate insecticide. Has
been used as a medication.
UN3018 Organophosphorus pesticides, liquid,
toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Keep away from alkaline materials and
strong oxidizers. Contact with oxidizers can cause the
release of toxic oxides of phosphorus. May react violently
with antimony(V) pentafluoride. Incompatible with lead
diacetate, magnesium, silver nitrate. In the presence of
strong reducing agents such as hydrides, organophosphates
form highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas.
In accordance with 40CFR165,
follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and
pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following
package label directions or by contacting your local or
federal environmental control agency, or by contacting
your regional EPA office.
