Methabenzthiazuron (CAS 18691-97-9)
QUICK LINKS
Methabenzthiazuron is a herbicide that functions by inhibiting photosynthesis in plants. It acts by blocking the electron transport chain in photosystem II. This disruption ultimately leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species within the chloroplast, causing damage to the photosynthetic apparatus and resulting in the death of the plant. Methabenzthiazuron′s mechanism of action involves binding to the QB-binding niche of the D1 protein, preventing the transfer of electrons to plastoquinone. This interference with electron transport disrupts the production of ATP and NADPH, which are for the synthesis of carbohydrates and other compounds in plants. Methabenzthiazuron′s mechanism of action as a photosystem II inhibitor may be effective for controlling the growth of unwanted vegetation in experimental applications.
