Copper(I) oxide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Copper(I) oxide is a weak inorganic base, oxidative stress inducer and cytotoxic agent. Copper(I) oxide generates ROS by impairing the activities of Catalase (HY-135849) and glutathione reductase. Copper(I) oxide can be used to activate halides for nucleophilic substitution reactions, and is also suitable for decarboxylation and ring condensation reactions.

Biological Activity
Copper(I) oxide (aqueous exposure; continuous exposure; 48 h) exhibits acute aquatic toxicity to water fleas, with a 48-h EC50 of 42 μg/L in freshwater[2].
Copper(I) oxide (aqueous exposure; continuous exposure; 48 h) exhibits acute aquatic toxicity to snails, with a 48-h LC50 of 179 μg/L in freshwater[2].
Copper(I) oxide (1800 μg/L; aqueous exposure; continuous exposure) exhibits acute aquatic toxicity to haddock, with an LT50 of 4.5-5.7 h[2].
Copper(I) oxide (following continuous aqueous exposure for 96 h) exhibits acute aquatic toxicity to mysid shrimp, with an LC50 of 69.7 μg/L in saltwater[2].
Copper(I) oxide (aqueous exposure; continuous exposure; 12-96 h) exhibits time-dependent acute aquatic toxicity to barnacles in seawater, with its LC50 value decreasing from 700 μg/L at 12 h to 20 μg/L at 96 h[2].
