ISOXAFLUTOLE

摘要

Isoxaflutole is the International Organization for Standardization-approved name for 5-cyclopropyl-4-(2-methylsulfonyl-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-isoxazole (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), with Chemical Abstracts Service No. 141112-29-0. The company code for isoxaflutole is RPA 201772. Isoxaflutole is an isoxazole herbicide that is used as a pre-emergent or early post-emergence broadcast treatment for the control of broadleaf and grass weeds. Its primary target in plants is the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD); inhibition of the enzyme results in the bleaching of weeds due to the blockage of phenylquinone biosynthesis.
