Demeton-O-methyl
Insecticide
Demeton-O-methyl is an organophosphate insecticide that functions by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine at synaptic junctions, ultimately causing paralysis and death in targeted insect pests. This compound is widely utilized in agricultural research to study pest control strategies and the effects of organophosphate exposure on non-target organisms. Its effectiveness and mode of action make it a valuable reagent for entomological studies and pesticide development.
