Mecoprop, a member of the chlorophenoxy acid family of herbicides, is widely used for the post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds. Its herbicidal activity is primarily attributed to the (R)-(+)-enantiomer, known as Mecoprop-P.
Following oral exposure, mecoprop is rapidly absorbed and widely distributed throughout the body. Mecoprop-P is largely excreted as parent material, and it is mainly distributed in the thyroid, kidney, blood, and plasma. It undergoes minimal metabolism, and a substantial proportion is eliminated rapidly, primarily via the kidneys, with approximately 90% of an absorbed dose excreted in the urine within 48 hours (BenchChem Technical Support . . .
