Bioactivity | Dimethoate-d6 is the deuterium labeled Dimethoate. Dimethoate is an effective systemic insecticide for use on plants, has shown promise as a chemotherapeutic agent for control of cattle grubs and certain other insect pests of farm animals, and has high contact toxicity to house-flies and many other insects[1]. |
Invitro | Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1]. |
