Product Information

• Name: Chlorsulfuron-5-hydroxy
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chlorsulfuron-5-hydroxy is a herbicide derivative, specifically an active metabolite of chlorsulfuron, which is a sulfonylurea herbicide. This compound is derived from synthetic chemistry processes that focus on altering the molecular structure of chlorsulfuron to enhance its properties or study its breakdown. The mode of action of Chlorsulfuron-5-hydroxy involves the inhibition of the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids in plants such as valine, leucine, and isoleucine. This inhibition disrupts protein synthesis, leading to halted cell division and plant growth.
