Product Information

• Name: Alachlor
• Synonyms: 2-Chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide2-Chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide2-Chloro-2',6'-diethyl -N-methoxymethylacetanilide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Alachlor is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that is used to treat wastewater. It has significant interactions with water vapor, which can lead to an increase in enzyme activities. Alachlor also binds to mitochondrial membranes and alters the membrane potential. Alachlor has been shown to be toxic to bacterial strains, such as Escherichia coli, and has been shown to cause mutations in mammalian cells. Alachlor is a stable complex with metal ions, such as Cu(II), Fe(II), and Zn(II). The redox cycle of alachlor leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that may affect cellular function. The matrix effect of alachlor may lead to inaccurate analytical results due to its adsorption on the surface of solids.
