Nicosulfuron
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Nicosulfuron is efficient, harmless, antifungal and selective herbicide belonging to the sulfonylurea family. Nicosulfuron is also a photosynthetic system inhibitor and inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme activity. Nicosulfuron degradation by Plectosphaerella cucumerina AR1 is glucose concentration dependent in planktonic lifestyle. Nicosulfuron enhances the glycolysis pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle to improve the adaptability of sweet maize. Nicosulfuron reduces the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which is proming for maize cultivation.

Biological Activity
Nicosulfuron (100 μM, 35 days) completely disappears after 21 days of incubation for a concentration of 10 g/L of glucose cultivating Plectosphaerella cucumerina AR1 in planktonic lifestyle[1].
Nicosulfuron (80 mg/kg, 7 days) significantly increases the content of sucrose and fructose in the HK301 lines of sweet maize seedlings[2].
Nicosulfuron (80 mg/kg, 7 days) significantly increases the hexokinase (HK) and phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity in leaves of sweet maize seedlings[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.09 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
