- Dimethenamid-P, a chloroacetamide herbicide, is the herbicidally active enantiomer in dimethenamid. Dimethenamid is a racemic mixture of the M and P stereoisomers, whereas the P isomer has useful herbicidal activity.
- Dimethenamid-P is a Group 15 (chloroacetamide) herbicide and inhibits protein and flavonoid
biosynthesis. It is thought to inhibit the synthesis of coenzyme A conjugates (aka acyl-CoA thioesters formed by coupling CoA with carboxylic acids-the acyl group carriers in fatty acid oxidation, citrate cycle, and xenobiotic detoxification) and affects other reactions involving thiol (SH) groups resulting in inhibition of cell division and tissue . . .Please Subscribe to continue reading
