    Territrem B

    ₱20,808.12 - ₱72,652.08

    Territrem B is an α-pyrone tremorgenic mycotoxin first identified from an Aspergillus terreus strain by Ling and colleagues at Taiwan National University in 1979. Territrem B is a potent insecticide acting via irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The binding mechanism is very different from typical irreversible AChE inhibitors like neostigmine and the organophospates.

    Molecular Formula C29H34O9
