Strychnine hemisulfate salt
Strychnine hemisulfate salt (CAS 60-41-3), with the molecular formula C21H22N2O2 · 1/2H2SO4 and a molecular weight of 383.45, is a highly toxic alkaloid derivative. It is primarily known for its potent pharmacological effects, historically used in very small quantities as a stimulant and in pest control. Due to its extreme toxicity, its applications are now highly restricted and handled with extreme caution. Tech Serve Solutions supplies this chemical for specialised research and industrial applications.
Research and Development
Utilised in biochemical and pharmacological research to study ion channel mechanisms and neurotoxicity. Its potent effects make it a valuable tool for investigating specific physiological pathways in controlled laboratory settings.
Pest Control Agent
Historically employed as a rodenticide and avicide. Its use in this area is now heavily regulated and restricted due to significant environmental and non-target organism risks.
Analytical Standard
Can serve as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for the identification and quantification of strychnine-related compounds in complex matrices. Requires specialised handling procedures.
