10154-42-4 Usage
General Description
(+)-4',6'-Dimethoxy[(S)-2,3'-allylidenediphenol], also known as rotenone, is a natural chemical compound found in the roots and stems of several tropical plants, including Derris elliptica and Lonchocarpus nicou. It is widely used as an insecticide and piscicide due to its ability to disrupt the cellular respiration of target organisms, particularly fish and insects. Rotenone works by inhibiting the electron transport chain in mitochondria, leading to the depletion of ATP and eventual cell death. While it is effective at controlling pests, rotenone has also been linked to potential toxicity in humans and non-target organisms, leading to restrictions on its use in some countries. Additionally, there is ongoing research into its potential applications as a treatment for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 10154-42-4 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,0,1,5 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 10154-42:
(7*1)+(6*0)+(5*1)+(4*5)+(3*4)+(2*4)+(1*2)=54
54 % 10 = 4
So 10154-42-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
