3,3-Dimethyloctane Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

3,3-Dimethyloctane has been shown to be effective in the treatment of nematodes and rhizosphere soils. It can also be used as an insecticide. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of human alveolar cells and root tissues, but not platelet aggregation or exudates. The toxicity of 3,3-dimethyloctane is mediated through its inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport. This inhibition leads to cell death by apoptosis or necrosis.

Definition

ChEBI: 3,3-dimethyloctane is an alkane that is octane in which the two methylene hydrogens at position 3 have been replaced by methyl groups. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is an alkane and a volatile organic compound.
