Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Isoprocarb, o-cumenyl methylcarbamate
(IUPAC), consists of colorless crystals, which are sparingly soluble in water and are readily soluble in acetone and methanol.
Isoprocarb is produced by reaction of 2-isopropylphenol
with methylisocyanate. Isoprocarb is used for control of
rice, cacao, sugarcane, and vegetable pests. | [Chemical Properties]
White Solid | [Uses]
Isoprocarb is a non-systematic carbamate insecticide. Isoprocarb functions by reversibly inactivating the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in insects. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Isoprocarb is a carbamate ester. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor, a carbamate insecticide and an agrochemical. It is functionally related to a methylcarbamic acid and a 2-isopropylphenol. | [Toxicology]
The insecticide isoprocarb is a Class II toxin (moderately hazardous), with the acute oral LD50 among rats being 403-485mg/kg, while the percutaneous LD50 among male rats and mice is>500mg. It is a PAN Bad Actor chemical, since it is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Symptoms of poisoning with this insecticide include muscle weakness,dizziness,salivation,nausea,vomiting,sweating,headache,effects on the CNS and depression. PPE such as splash-resistant safety goggles and chemicalresistant clothing, gloves and masks are advised. |
