Usage

General Description

(2-amino-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)butanoic acid)-AM toxin I is a compound that is a member of the AM toxins, a family of potent toxic compounds produced by certain strains of Bacillus thuringiensis. This specific toxin, also known as AM1, is composed of an amino acid chain with a 4-methoxyphenyl group and a butanoic acid group. It has been found to be toxic to a wide range of insects, particularly caterpillars, and is used as a natural insecticide in agriculture. AM toxin I works by binding to specific receptors in the insect gut, disrupting the normal function of the gut and ultimately leading to paralysis and death of the insect. Its use as a biopesticide has gained attention as an alternative to synthetic chemical insecticides, as it is considered safe for humans and other non-target organisms.
