Product Description
Monuron is a phenylurea herbicide that can inhibit photosynthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Urea is readily absorbed by plant roots and transported to the leaves for accumulation… It does not easily penetrate the leaves. After administration of 175 mg/kg body weight daily for 60 consecutive days, or 0.1–20.0 mg/kg body weight daily for 6 consecutive months, the retention of urea-related substances in tissues occurred primarily in the lungs, followed by the heart, liver, brain, and kidneys, as well as milk, bone marrow, and thyroid gland. In rats orally administered 875 mg/kg body weight, peak plasma concentrations were reached 2 hours post-administration… CMPD is evenly distributed throughout the body. Metabolisms/Metabolites 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea is converted to 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1-hydroxymethyl-1-methylurea in cotton; it also generates 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1-methylurea. /Excerpt from Table/
Cotton plants degrade monoxone to monomethylmonoxone and p-chlorophenylurea via a series of demethylation reactions, followed by hydrolysis of the amide bond to p-chloroaniline.
In mammals, monoxone is metabolized via three pathways: (I) oxidative demethylation; (II) aromatic nucleus hydroxylation; and (III) urea cleavage to generate chloroaniline derivatives.
The yields of various metabolites indicate that hydroxylation occurs more frequently at the 2-position than the 3-position. Phenolic metabolites are excreted in urine as conjugates. 4-Chloro-2-hydroxyaniline is excreted as the N-acetyl compound 2-acetamido-5-chlorophenol.
For more complete metabolite/metabolite data on MONURON (10 metabolites in total), please visit the HSDB record page.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Interactions
In the presence of moderate concentrations of carbaryl, the degradation of mononolon in cotton plants (except for monodemethylation) is inhibited. …4-Benzothiophene-N-methylcarbamate is as effective as carbaryl. In vitro studies have shown that flavin (flavin mononucleotide) can cause photoinactivation of phenylurea drugs (such as mononolon). Non-human Toxicity Values Oral LD50 in rats: 3600 mg mononolon/kg Dietary: Rats and dogs: No effect level: 250-500 ppm

Additional Infomation
Monuron is a white crystalline solid or white powder with a slight odor. Melting point: 175℃. It is poisonous and can be ingested. It is used as a herbicide. Monuron belongs to the 3-(3,4-substituted phenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea class of compounds, in which one nitrogen atom is replaced by a p-chlorophenyl group, and the other nitrogen atom is replaced by two methyl groups. It is both a herbicide and an exogenous substance and environmental pollutant. It belongs to the monochlorobenzene class of compounds and is also a 3-(3,4-substituted phenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea class. Mechanism of Action: Substituted urea compounds…in leaves…cause the collapse of parenchyma vascular bundles. …They inhibit photosynthesis…and are potent inhibitors of water oxidation to oxygen (Hill reaction)…Studies have shown that mononucleotides block photosynthesis at the electron transfer site of flavin mononucleotides…

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
