Biological Activity:
Linuron is a phenylurea herbicide widely used to control the growth of grasses and weeds in various crops and orchards. Linuron acts as a photosystem II inhibitor. It also functions as a competitive androgen receptor (AR) antagonist, with an EC50 of 200 μM and a Ki of 100 μM against rat AR, and an EC50 of 20 μM against human AR. Linuron exhibits reproductive toxicity in animals and acts as an endocrine disruptor[1][2][3][4].\n
