Description

Miserotoxin CAS NO 24502-76-9 is a specialized nitro compound of significant interest in biochemical and agricultural research. Its primary value lies in its role as a phytotoxin, specifically a potent glycoside that can be metabolized into toxic agents affecting livestock and plant systems. This makes it a critical reference standard and research chemical for scientists and professionals investigating plant toxicity, forage safety, and metabolic pathways. Key industries that require this compound include agrochemical research, veterinary toxicology, and academic institutions focused on plant biochemistry and natural product chemistry.

Application

• Agrochemical Research: Used as a reference standard in the study of plant-derived toxins and the development of mitigation strategies for poisonous plants in pastures.
• Veterinary Toxicology: Serves as a critical analyte in research focused on livestock poisoning, particularly from the consumption of certain Astragalus and Oxytropis species (locoweeds).
• Biochemical Studies: Employed in enzymatic and metabolic pathway research to understand the bioactivation of nitro compounds into toxic agents like 3-nitro-1-propanol (3-NPOH).
• Phytochemistry: Acts as a key compound for the isolation, identification, and quantification of toxic glycosides in plant material.
• Environmental Science: Utilized in studies assessing the ecological impact and persistence of natural nitrotoxins in soil and forage systems.
• Analytical Method Development: Provides a high-purity standard for calibrating analytical instruments (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) used in toxin detection and quantification.
