Product Description
Metazachlor is a chloroacetamide herbicide. Metazachlor is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of long-chain fatty acid synthesis that affects cell division or tissue differentiation during germination and germination of weed seeds.
Metazachlor (methoxychloramine, CAS# 67129-08-2) is a chloroacetanilide herbicide used for weed control in various crops. It has the molecular formula C14H16ClN3O. Metazachlor inhibits cell division and growth in susceptible plants by interfering with lipid synthesis and microtubule assembly. The compound is used in agricultural research for studying herbicide mechanisms and weed management. It is intended for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IC50: synthesis of long chain fatty acids[1]
Metazachlor targets plant cell division and growth by inhibiting lipid synthesis and microtubule assembly. As a chloroacetanilide herbicide, it interferes with very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis in plants, disrupting cell membrane formation and cell division. The compound's herbicidal activity is selective for certain weed species. Its targets are plant-specific enzymes involved in fatty acid elongation. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies of Metazachlor have focused on its herbicidal activity and mechanism of action. The compound's inhibition of very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis has been characterized in plant systems. Its effects on cell division and microtubule assembly have been studied. These in vitro findings support its applications in herbicide research and weed management studies.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of Metazachlor have demonstrated its efficacy as a herbicide for weed control in various crops. The compound is applied to soil or foliage and inhibits weed growth through its effects on cell division and lipid synthesis. Its selectivity for certain weed species over crop plants has been characterized. The compound is used in agricultural research for studying herbicide mechanisms and weed management.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for Metazachlor typically involve testing its inhibition of very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis in plant systems. Enzyme activity is measured by monitoring fatty acid elongation using chromatographic methods. The compound's effects on cell division are assessed using plant cell cultures. All assays are performed with appropriate controls and standardized protocols.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Metazachlor involve culturing plant cells to evaluate its herbicidal activity. Plant cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound and cell viability is assessed. Effects on cell division and microtubule assembly are monitored using microscopy. All experiments are performed with appropriate controls to ensure statistical reliability.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Metazachlor are conducted for toxicology and environmental safety assessment. Animals are administered the compound and observed for signs of toxicity.
