Acephate
Acephate is an organophosphate insecticide that acts as an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. It exhibits species-selective toxicity, showing potent AChE inhibition in insects like cockroaches but a weaker effect in mammalian models such as rats. This property makes it a valuable compound for comparative toxicology and insecticide resistance studies in both in vivo and in vitro research.
