Product Description
Aldicarb sulfone (Temik sulfone) is a carbamate insecticide; it is a cholinesterase inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine at synapses.
Aldicarb sulfone (CAS 1646-88-4) is an organosulfur compound that is a metabolite and degradation product of the carbamate pesticide aldicarb. It is more toxic than the parent compound and inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in synapses and causing overstimulation of the nervous system. Its molecular formula is C7H14N2O4S, and its molecular weight is 222.26.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Acetylcholinesterase (ChE). Aldicarb sulfone inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity, preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine at synaptic junctions. This leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine and overstimulation of the nervous system, resulting in cholinergic toxicity. The compound is a carbamate ester that acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor.
ln Vitro
Aldicarb sulfone is a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in vitro. The compound inhibits the enzyme activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Its potency as a ChE inhibitor has been characterized in various in vitro assays using purified enzyme or tissue homogenates. The compound reduces the number of male T cells at 100 µg/mL.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Aldicarb sulfone is highly toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. As a metabolite of aldicarb, it contributes to the overall toxicity of the parent pesticide. The compound causes cholinergic toxicity due to acetylcholinesterase inhibition, leading to symptoms such as muscle twitching, respiratory distress, and convulsions.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibition assays for Aldicarb sulfone involve measuring ChE activity in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. The enzyme is incubated with acetylthiocholine substrate, and the production of thiocholine is measured using Ellman's reagent (DTNB). IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are not typically performed with Aldicarb sulfone as it is a pesticide metabolite rather than a therapeutic agent. However, its effects on neuronal cells can be assessed by measuring acetylcholinesterase activity in cell lysates or by assessing cholinergic signaling in cultured neurons.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Aldicarb sulfone are typically conducted as part of toxicological evaluations. The compound is administered orally or via other routes, and toxicity endpoints such as mortality, clinical signs, and acetylcholinesterase inhibition are assessed. The compound is highly toxic and requires careful handling.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
Carbamates are enzymatically hydrolyzed in the liver; degradation products are excreted via the kidneys and liver. (L793)
Aldicarb sulfone has a molecular weight of 222.26 and a molecular formula of C7H14N2O4S. It has a purity of ≥95%. The compound is soluble in DMSO at ≥34 mg/mL. It should be stored at -20°C. The compound is also known as Temik sulfone.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity Summary
Aldehydecarboxamide is a cholinesterase or acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. Carbamate compounds carbamate the enzyme's active site, forming an unstable complex with cholinesterase. This inhibition is reversible. Cholinesterase inhibitors suppress the activity of acetylcholinesterase. Because acetylcholinesterase has important physiological functions, chemicals that interfere with its activity are potent neurotoxins, causing excessive salivation and lacrimation even at low doses. High-dose exposure typically results in symptoms such as headache, salivation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is released at the neuromuscular junction, causing muscle or organ relaxation. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase results in the accumulation and sustained action of acetylcholine, leading to continuous nerve impulse transmission and an inability to stop muscle contraction. Toxicity Data
LC50 (rat) = 140 mg/m³/4hr
Aldicarb sulfone is highly toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. It causes cholinergic toxicity due to acetylcholinesterase inhibition. The compound should be handled with extreme caution using appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid any skin contact. It is a pesticide metabolite and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
Additional Infomation
Aldicarb sulfone is a white crystalline solid belonging to the insecticide class. Aldicarb is a sulfone compound. Aldicarb is a carbamate insecticide. Carbamate insecticides are derived from carbamic acid, and their insecticidal mechanism is similar to that of organophosphate insecticides. They are widely used in homes, gardens, and agriculture. The first carbamate insecticide, Sevin, was introduced in 1956, and its global usage exceeds that of all other carbamate insecticides combined. Because Sevin has relatively low oral and dermal toxicity to mammals and a broad spectrum of control, it is widely used in lawns and gardens. Most carbamate insecticides are highly toxic to hymenopteran insects, so precautions must be taken to prevent contact with insects such as bees or parasitic wasps. Some carbamate insecticides can be transported within plants, making them effective systemic treatments. (L795)
Aldicarb sulfone is a metabolite and degradation product of the carbamate pesticide aldicarb. It is more toxic than the parent compound and inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity. The compound is highly toxic and requires careful handling. It is not a therapeutic agent and is used primarily in toxicological and environmental research.
