General description

Malaoxon is one of the major metabolites of malathion and a widely used insecticide in agriculture. Its mode of action includes DNA damage in human lymphocytes by the mechanism of oxidative action.

Application

Malaoxon may be used as a reference standard for the determination of malaoxon in plasma and urine samples of rat by high-performance liquid chromatography.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Among organophosphorothioate (OPT) pesticides, malathion is considered relatively safe for use in mammals. Its rapid degradation by carboxylesterases competes with the cytochrome P450 (P450)-catalyzed formation of malaoxon, the toxic metabolite. However, impurities in commercial formulations are potent inhibitors of carboxylesterase
