Forchlorfenuron

Forchlorfenuron is a chlorinated insecticide that is used for the control of insects in fruit trees. Forchlorfenuron has significant cytotoxicity and causes chromatographic analysis of physiological effects, such as enzyme activities and fruit growth. It also causes a matrix effect on mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibits energy metabolism. The analytical method to measure forchlorfenuron is by using colloidal gold, which enhances the detection sensitivity of the compound in plants. The structural analysis of forchlorfenuron was done using anhydrous sodium alkanoic acid and showed that it contains two chlorine atoms at carbons 1 and 3 on its para-benzoquinone ring system.
