Metaldehyde
- CAS No.: 108-62-3
- Formula:C8H16O4
- Molecular Weight:176.21
IUPAC Name: 2,4,6,8-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetraoxocane
InChIKey: GKKDCARASOJPNG-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: CC1OC(C)OC(C)OC(C)O1
Biological Activity: Metaldehyde is an orally active molluscicide. Metaldehyde acts as a feeding inhibitor. Metaldehyde disrupts the feeding cycle, impairs righting ability, delays fecal excretion, induces toxic symptoms in slugs, reduces the concentrations of neurotransmitters (Noradrenaline, 5-HT (HY-B1473A)) in the mouse brain, and induces lethal clonic-tonic convulsions in mice[1][2][3][4].
