Background:

Fluridone is an herbicide.^1,2,3,4It inhibits phytoene desaturase (K_i= 0.03 µM), an enzyme involved in carotenoid biosynthesis.¹Fluridone (50 and 100 µM) decreases β-carotene levels and induces accumulation of phytofluene and phytoene inT. aestivumseedlings grown in the dark.²It reduces levels of the plant hormone abscisic acid in hydrated and dehydratedV. fabaleaves when used at a concentration of 10 µM.³Fluridone is cytotoxic to the cyanobacteriumAnacystis nidulans(LC₅₀= 0.125 µM) and has acute toxicity against several species of invertebrates and fish (median LC₅₀s = 4.3 and 10.4 mg/L, respectively).^1,4Formulations containing fluridone have been used as aquatic herbicides.
