Description

Metolachlor OA is an anthropogenic chemical that belongs to the group of fatty acids. It is a hydrochloric acid-soluble compound with a molecular weight of 236.2. Metolachlor OA has been shown to inhibit the activity of catalase and glutathione peroxidase, two enzymes that are part of the antioxidant system. In addition, it has been shown to inhibit the activities of other monocarboxylic acid-dependent enzymes such as acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase and malonyl coenzyme A decarboxylase. Metolachlor OA also inhibits DNA synthesis in bacteria and may be genotoxic, but this needs further investigation.
