Carbamates are widely used in agriculture as insecticides and herbicides. They are preferred instead of organochlorines because organochlorines are long lasting persistent in crops. Methiocarb has contact and stomach action on mites and neurotoxic effects on molluscs. Seeds treated with methiocarb also affects birds. Like the other carbamates, methiocarb inhibits reversibly acetylcholinesterase activity resulting in a cholinergic stimulation making methiocarb a potent neurotoxin. It can even cause acute toxicity〔 in humans if exposed for long periods of time or a sufficient dose. It is not listed as a carcinogen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pesticideinfo.org/Detail_Chemical.jsp?Rec_Id=PC35108 )〕 Methiocarb is also a known poison to water organisms.〔 Other names for methiocarb are mesurol and mercaptodimethur. ==Structure and reactivity== The carbamate functional group in methiocarb can be cleaved by cholinesterase to result in the carbamate, which binds to the cholinesterase, and the aromatic alcohol. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Methiocarb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
