Product Description
Lenacil is a selective uracil-substituted herbicide used to control annual grasses, broadleaf weeds, and some perennial weeds in sugar cane, apples, alfalfa, peaches, peas, mint, and sugar beets that inhibit photosynthesis.
Lenacil (CAS# 2164-08-1) is a herbicide that is widely used in agriculture to control the growth of weeds. With a molecular formula of C₁₃H₁₈N₂O₂ and a molecular weight of 234.29 g/mol, it belongs to the family of triazinone herbicides and is known for its selective action against broadleaf weeds. It is used preplanting by soil incorporation or as a preemergence treatment of fodder, red beets, and sugar beets. The chemical is also used on spinach, strawberries, and various ornamentals.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Lenacil is the photosynthetic apparatus in plants. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of photosynthesis, which leads to the death of weeds. By blocking the photosynthetic electron transport chain, Lenacil prevents the production of energy and essential metabolites required for plant growth.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Lenacil is a herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Its activity is assessed in plant-based assays measuring the inhibition of photosynthetic oxygen evolution or electron transport. The compound's selectivity for broadleaf weeds over crops is determined by comparing its effects on different plant species.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Lenacil is used in agricultural settings to control the growth of broadleaf weeds. It is applied preplanting by soil incorporation or as a preemergence treatment. Its effectiveness in controlling weeds in crops such as sugar beets, strawberries, and ornamentals has been demonstrated in field studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding studies are not applicable for Lenacil, as it is a herbicide that acts on the photosynthetic apparatus in plants. Its activity is assessed in plant-based assays measuring the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport or oxygen evolution.
Cell Assay
In vitro plant-based assays for Lenacil evaluate its herbicidal activity. Plants are grown in the presence of the compound, and the inhibition of growth or photosynthetic activity is measured. The compound's selectivity is assessed by testing against a range of weed and crop species.
Animal Protocol
In vivo field studies for Lenacil are conducted to evaluate its herbicidal efficacy and crop safety. The compound is applied to fields at various rates, and the control of weed populations is assessed. Crop yield and phytotoxicity are also monitored to determine the safety of the compound for the target crop.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The physicochemical properties of Lenacil include a density of 1.32 kg/L at 20°C. Its molecular weight is 234.29 g/mol. For agricultural use, it is formulated as a wettable powder or liquid concentrate. Further details on its environmental fate and behavior are available from the primary research literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Lenacil is classified as low toxicity. The oral LD₅₀ in rats is 11000 mg/kg. It is considered safe for use in agriculture when applied according to label instructions. However, as with all pesticides, it should be handled with care to avoid exposure.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
