Picolinafen
Picolinafen is a pyridine-class herbicide that acts as a phytoene desaturase (PDS) inhibitor. Picolinafen effectively controls broadleaf weeds and disrupts carotenoid biosynthesis. Picolinafen exhibits cytotoxicity to porcine trophectoderm (pTr) and luminal epithelial (pLE) cells. Picolinafen induces (ROS accumulation, calcium depletion, and activates (MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways, leading to decreased cell viability, increased apoptosis, impaired migration, and altered expression of implantation-related genes. Picolinafen has an LD50 value of 2.7 mg/kg in mammals and 7 μg/L in fish. Picolinafen exhibits toxic effects during zebrafish embryogenesis[1][2].

Biological Activity
Picolinafen (0.2-6 μM, 48 h) decreases cell viability and alters cell cycle progression in pTr and pLE cells[1].
Picolinafen (1-4 μM, 48 h) induces apoptosis, impairs self-assembly of cell spheroids and interferes with mitochondrial integrity and calcium homeostasis in pTr and pLE cells[1].
Picolinafen (1-4 μM, 2-48 h) causes ROS accumulation and disrupts intracellular Ca2+ regulation in pTr and pLE cells[1].
Picolinafen (4 μM, 15-24 h) inhibits pTr cell migration and alters the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in apoptosis and implantation[1].
Picolinafen (1-4 μM, 3 h) activates the MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways in pTr and pLE cells[1].
