Description

Chlorfenprop-methyl is a herbicide that has a detection sensitivity of 0.1 ppm and an LD50 in rats of greater than 5 g/kg. It is used to inhibit the growth of perennial ryegrass and other weeds. Chlorfenprop-methyl inhibits protein synthesis by inhibiting the activity of pyrazole ring hydrolases, which are enzymes that catalyze reactions in which one compound is cleaved from another. This inhibition prevents the cleavage of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP), which prevents ATP production, leading to cell death. Chlorfenprop-methyl also inhibits the activity of protocatechuic acid oxidase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of lignin, an important component of plant cell walls. The herbicide may have additional effects on plant growth by interfering with the metabolism of picolinic acid and amide groups.
