CAS 97627-24-2: Urea, N-(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)-N'-4-pyridinyl-

N-(2-Chloro-6-methylphenyl)-N'-4-pyridinylurea is a systemic herbicide, which is synthesized from chloro- and methyl-substituted phenyl compounds. It exhibits its mode of action by inhibiting the photosystem II complex, thereby disrupting the electron transport chain during photosynthesis in susceptible plants. This leads to a decline in ATP and NADPH production, essential for plant growth and survival. Its applications are primarily in agricultural settings to control broadleaf and grassy weeds. By targeting specific pathways in plant biology, it selectively affects undesirable plant species while minimizing harm to crops. The chemical's systemic nature ensures that it is absorbed and translocated within the plant, leading to an effective and broad-spectrum herbicidal activity. It is crucial for scientists to understand its biochemical interactions and environmental impact, guiding its deployment in integrated weed management systems.

N-(2-Chloro-6-methylphenyl)-N'-4-pyridinylurea is an anticonvulsant agent, treatment of generalized tonic-clonic and partial seizures.
