Product Data Sheet
Temephos
Catalog No. A50708
Temephos is an organophosphate insecticide that functions as an irreversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). This inhibition leads to cholinergic overactivation, effectively disrupting the larval development of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, making it a valuable tool in research concerning Dengue Virus, Zika Virus, and other mosquito-borne pathogens. While exhibiting important biological activity, Temephos has been shown to cause genotoxicity, neurodevelopmental toxicity, and potential liver and reproductive system effects in mammals. Additionally, it can accumulate in adipose tissues and aquatic organisms, with its metabolism primarily occurring through oxidation and hydrolysis. Temephos serves as a critical reagent in studies of vector control and viral transmission dynamics.
