ARYLOXYPHENOXY COMPOUNDS

Toxicology

  • Aryloxyphenoxypropionates, a subfamily of the aromatic carboxylic acid family (including 2,4-D, dicamba)(Herbicides, 1997).
  • Absorption of aryloxyphenoxypropionates (ArOPPs) are very rapid in animals by oral route
  • Animals rapidly de-esterify ester forms of these herbicides enzymatically with monooxygenases to form corresponding acids (Herbicides, 1997). Fluazifop-p butyl for instance is metabolized to fluazifop acid in human and animals models  (Ore and Olayinka et al., 2019).
