2-Chloro-N-phenylacetamide (2CPA) is a chemical that is stable in the presence of strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. It can be used as an herbicide and has been shown to inhibit plant metabolism by interfering with the synthesis of picolinic acid. 2CPA also binds to proteins, causing inhibition of protein synthesis. This may occur by competitively binding to the enzyme polymerase chain reaction (PCR). 2CPA is metabolized into trifluoroacetic acid and chloroacetanilides in mammals. The detoxification enzymes glutathione S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome P450 can reactivate 2CPA by conjugation with glutathione or methyl ethyl. This detoxification process is known as phase II metabolism.
