Description
Fomesafen is an orally active herbicide. Fomesafen inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) . Fomesafen induces Apoptosis and increases ROS. Fomesafen exhibits developmental toxicity, immunotoxicity, and neurotoxicity. It induces precancerous lesions in the liver and hepaturoporphyria in mice. Fomesafen is used to control broadleaf weeds in soybean fields, rubber plantations, and orchards[1][2][3][4][5][6].

Chemical Information

Fomesafen

Fomesafen is an N-sulfonylcarboxamide that is N-(methylsulfonyl)benzamide in which the phenyl ring is substituted by a nitro group at position 2 and a 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy group at position 5. A protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor, it was specially developed for use (generally as the corresponding sodium salt, fomesafen-sodium) for post-emergence control of broad-leaf weeds in soya. It has a role as a herbicide, an agrochemical and an EC 1.3.3.4 (protoporphyrinogen oxidase) inhibitor. It is a member of phenols, an aromatic ether, a C-nitro compound, an organofluorine compound, a member of monochlorobenzenes and a N-sulfonylcarboxamide. It is a conjugate acid of a fomesafen(1-).
