Description

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is a chemical that is used to kill plants and has been shown to be toxic in humans. It has been used extensively in the past as an herbicide and insecticide. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid can be broken down by bacteria in wastewater treatment systems. This chemical has been shown to cause sublethal effects on cells, including changes in enzyme activities, protein genes, and gene expression levels. These changes are mediated by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The mechanism of action for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid involves the reaction with p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) to produce 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid and formaldehyde.
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid has also been shown to have an effect on human serum proteins.
