- Product Overview:
Carbofuran is a carbamate insecticide that inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in insects and mammals (Kas = 9.4, 30, and 210 µM for M. domestica brain, A. mellifera brain, and bovine erythrocyte AChE, respectively).{36349} It also inhibits AChE from rat and human erythrocytes with IC50 values of 40 and 25 nM, respectively.{37694} It is toxic to the housefly M. domestica (LD50 = 4.6 mg/kg) and fourth-instar larvae of the mosquito C. pipiens with an LC50 value of 0.054 ppm. Carbofuran is toxic to birds, rats (LD50 = 4-11 mg/kg), and other mammals including dogs, sheep, and cattle, and is considered an environmental toxin.{36349,36347} Formulations containing carbofuran have been used in agriculture for the control of insects, nematodes, mites, and ticks.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
