Description

Metribuzin is a low-cost non-selective herbicide belonging to the chemical class of triazinones. Metribuzin inhibits plant DNA synthesis and acts on photosystem II, ultimately suppressing photosynthesis. Metribuzin provides excellent control of important annual grass and broadleaf weeds[1][2].

In Vitro

Metribuzin inhibits photosystem II electron transport in plant chloroplasts, exerting herbicidal effects[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Metribuzin (105-175 g a.i ha-1 + Ad-500 400 mL ha-1; 105-175 g a.i ha-1 + Bio-power 400 mL ha-1; foliar spray; single application at two- to four-leaf weed stage) 175 g a.i ha-1 + Bio-power 400 mL ha-1 provides the most effective control of associated wheat weeds and maximizes wheat grain yield (3.91 kg ha-1), while metribuzin combinations with adjuvants improve efficacy over metribuzin alone at all tested doses[1].
Metribuzin (6.44 mg/kg) disrupts glomerular function in pregnant rabbits[2].
Metribuzin (single dose; p.o.) has an acute oral LD50 of 1090 mg/kg in rats[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
