Phosphine
Phosphine, also known as [PH3] or fosfano, is a member of the class of compounds known as homogeneous other non-metal compounds. These compounds are inorganic nonmetals in which the largest atom belongs to the class of other nonmetals. Phosphine can be found primarily in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), saliva, and urine, as well as throughout most human tissues. Within the cell, phosphine is primarily located in the cytoplasm (predicted from logP). In humans, phosphine is involved in the paclitaxel pathway. Moreover, phosphine is found to be associated with glycerol intolerance syndrome. Phosphine is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Phosphine (IUPAC name: phosphane) is a colourless, flammable toxic gas and pnictogen hydride. Pure phosphine is odourless, but technical grade samples have a highly unpleasant odour like garlic or rotting fish due to the presence of substituted phosphine and diphosphane (P2H4). With traces of P2H4 present, PH3 is spontaneously flammable in air and burns with a luminous flame. Phosphines are also a group of organophosphorus compounds with the formula R3P (R = organic derivative). Organophosphines are important in catalysts where they complex to various metal ions. Complexes derived from a chiral phosphine can catalyze reactions to give chiral, enantioenriched products (Wikipedia). As there is no antidote for phosphine poisoning, treatment is mainly symptomatic. Artificial respiration, gastric lavage, and/or administration of activated charcoal may be necessary (L982) (T3DB). Phosphine has been shown to exhibit anti-tumor function (PMID: 12699391). Phosphine is a fumigant for cereals, flour, and packaged foods (FooDB).
