Cantharidin History

Cantharidin was first isolated by Pierre Robiquet in 1810. It is an odorless and colorless solid at room temperature. It is secreted by the male blister beetle and given to the female during the mating. Afterwards the female beetle will cover its eggs with it as a defense against predators. The complete mechanism of the biosynthesis is currently unknown. If cantharidin is ingested, it severely irritates the urinary tract as it is excreted, causing swelling of the genitalia. This can cause a harmful condition known as priapism in men, where an erection lasts more than about four hours.

Cantharidin Uses

1. Cantharidin (CAS NO.56-25-7) is used in biochemical research, clinically as antineoplastic agents, mainly for primary liver cancer, It is often used in conjunction with other antineoplastic agents.
2. Cantharidin (CAS NO.56-25-7) is used as hydroxycanthayridimide intermediates.

Cantharidin Specification

1.General Description: Brown to black powder or plates or scales. Formerly used as a counterirritant and vesicant. Used for the removal of warts. Used as an experimental anti tumor agent. Active ingredient in spanish fly, a reputed aphrodisiac.
2.Reactivity Profile: Organic anhydrides, such as Cantharidin, are incompatible with acids, strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, amines, and bases.
3.Health Hazard :Cantharidin is classified as super toxic. Probable oral lethal dose in humans is less than 5 mg/kg or a taste of less than 7 drops for a 70 kg (150 lb.) person. It is very toxic by absorption through skin.
4.Fire Hazard: When heated to decomposition Cantharidin emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
