CAS 1918-16-7: Propachlor

Applications Propachlor is an acylanilide herbicide that is used to maintain crop protection from weeds. Propachlor is also known to induce Glutathione (G597951)-dependent cytotoxicity and sister chromatid exchanges in human cells. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Bartha, R. & Pramer, D.: Adv. Appl.

Propachlor is a chloroacetanilide herbicide that inhibits the production of new cells by disrupting the synthesis of DNA. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of prostate cancer cells in vitro, but has not yet been tested in vivo. Propachlor can be used as a sample preparation agent for determining kinetic data on the inhibition of bacterial growth or chloroacetanilide metabolism. The optimum pH for propachlor is 7-8. Propachlor binds to microbial proteins through hydrogen bonding interactions, and is metabolized to pyridinium metabolites by bacteria, although there is no specific antidote against propachlor.
