Product Information

• Name: Propachlor
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Propachlor is a chloroacetanilide herbicide that inhibits the production of new cells by disrupting the synthesis of DNA. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of prostate cancer cells in vitro, but has not yet been tested in vivo. Propachlor can be used as a sample preparation agent for determining kinetic data on the inhibition of bacterial growth or chloroacetanilide metabolism. The optimum pH for propachlor is 7-8. Propachlor binds to microbial proteins through hydrogen bonding interactions, and is metabolized to pyridinium metabolites by bacteria, although there is no specific antidote against propachlor.
