Fuazifop-P-butyl

Fluazifop-p-butyl (FPB) is a selective aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicide which is an acetyl-CoA   carboxylase inhibitor that derives from an enantiomer of a (S)-fuazifop-P-butyl (National Center for Biotechnology Information).

The phytotoxicity of fluazifop-butyl is based on the inhibition of acetyl 11 coenzyme-A carboxylase (ACCase) activity. ACCase occurs in mammals, plants, bacteria, 12 yeast, and fungi and is a key enzyme s a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism and catalyzes 16 the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA. Deficiencies in some ACCase activities in 13 mammals are associated with decreased body weight and . . .
