Description

Rotenolone is a naturally occurring isoflavonoid compound derived from plants of the *Derris* and *Lonchocarpus* genera. This compound matters as a key intermediate and reference standard in the research and development of botanical insecticides and acaricides, leveraging its potent biological activity. It is needed by agrochemical R&D laboratories, manufacturers of natural plant protection products, and academic institutions studying insecticidal mechanisms and environmental fate.

Application

• Agrochemical Research & Development: Serves as a crucial intermediate and active ingredient precursor in the synthesis of novel, environmentally benign insecticides.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard in HPLC and LC-MS for the quantification of rotenone and related rotenoids in botanical extracts and environmental samples.
• Biochemical Studies: Employed in research to investigate the mode of action of rotenoids on mitochondrial complex I and their effects on cellular respiration in pests.
• Natural Product Formulation: A key component in the development and standardization of organic or natural plant protection formulations derived from derris root or cube resin.
• Veterinary & Aquaculture Applications: Investigated for use in controlled piscicide applications for invasive fish species management in aquatic ecosystems.
