Usage

Description

LINDANE (13C6), also known as gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane, is an isotope-labeled form of the insecticide Lindane. It is a colorless crystalline solid with a chemical formula of C6H6 and is composed of six carbon atoms, each labeled with the isotope 13C. LINDANE (13C6) is used primarily for its insecticidal properties and has been utilized in the treatment of scabies and lice.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
LINDANE (13C6) is used as an insecticide for the treatment of scabies and lice. It is effective in eliminating these parasites due to its ability to penetrate the exoskeleton and disrupt the nervous system of the insects, leading to their paralysis and death.
Used in Research and Development:
LINDANE (13C6) is also used in research and development for studying the mode of action of insecticides and their effects on various insect species. The isotope labeling allows for better tracking and analysis of the compound's distribution and metabolism within the target organisms, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms of insecticide action and resistance.
