Dissipation of Herbicide Methiozolin and Its Metabolites in Aerobic Sediment-Water Systems.

Methiozolin is a novel herbicide for controlling annual bluegrass. After applying C labelled methiozolin in two sediment (clay loam and sand)-water systems under aerobic conditions, its distribution, half-life, and metabolites within 300 days were investigated. The mass balance ranged within 92.

Anaerobic Degradation of [C]Methiozolin under Aquatic Sediment Conditions.

The fate of methiozolin under anaerobic conditions was investigated in clay loam with a high organic carbon content and sandy loam with a low carbon content using [dihydroisoxazole ring-C] and [phenyl-C] radiolabels. The sediment/water ratio was 1:3 based on the dry weight:volume (w/v) ratio; the incubations lasted up to 355 days after the treatment (DAT) and were performed in the dark at 20.4 ± 0.

Developmental toxicity assessment of the new turf herbicide, methiozolin ([5-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxymethyl-5-methyl-3,3(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1,2-isoxazoline]), in rabbits.

Methiozolin is a new herbicide to control annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) and large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop.

Adenine suppresses IgE-mediated mast cell activation.

Nucleobase adenine is produced by dividing human lymphoblasts mainly from polyamine synthesis and inhibits immunological functions of lymphocytes. We investigated the anti-allergic effect of adenine on IgE-mediated mast cell activation in vitro and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in mice. Intraperitoneal injection of adenine to IgE-sensitized mice attenuated IgE-mediated PCA reaction in a dose dependent manner, resulting in a median effective concentration of 4.

In vivo absorption, distribution, excretion, and metabolism of a new herbicide, methiozolin, in rats following oral administration.

Methiozolin [5-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxymethyl-5-methyl-3-(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1,2-isoxazoline] is a new turf herbicide that controls annual bluegrass in various cool- and warm-season turfgrasses. The present study is the first report elucidating absorption, tissue distribution, excretion, and metabolism of methiozolin in rats. The pharmacokinetic parameters in the blood were observed as follows: t(max) = 6 h, C(max) = 168.

Soil metabolism of [14C]methiozolin under aerobic and anaerobic flooded conditions.

Methiozolin is a new turf herbicide controlling annual bluegrass in various cool- and warm-season turfgrasses. This study was conducted to investigate the fate of methiozolin in soil under aerobic and anaerobic flooded conditions using two radiolabeled tracers, [benzyl-(14)C]- and [isoxazole-(14)C]methiozolin. The mass balance of applied radioactivity ranged from 91.

Methiozolin [5-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxymethyl-5-methyl-3,3(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1,2-isoxazoline], a new annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) herbicide for turfgrasses.

Background: Selective control of annual bluegrass (Poa annual L.) has been difficult in turfgrasses. The potential of methiozolin in this area was investigated.

Metabolism of a new herbicide, [(14)c]pyribenzoxim, in rice.

The in vivo metabolism of a new herbicide pyribenzoxim (benzophenone Ο-[2,6-bis(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yloxy)benzoyl]oxime) in rice was carried out using container trials. Two radiolabeled forms of [carbonyl-(14)C]pyribenzoxim (P1) and [ring-(14)C(U)]pyribenzoxim (P2) were treated separately as formulations for foliar treatment by single applications of 50 g of active ingredient (ai)/ha at the 4-6 leaves stage. At 0, 7, 30, and 60 days after treatment (DAT), samples of panicle, foliage/rest of plant, and roots were taken for analysis.

Soil metabolism of a new herbicide, [14C]Pyribenzoxim, under flooded conditions.

To elucidate the fate of a new pyrimidinyloxybenzoic herbicide, pyribenzoxim, a soil metabolism study was carried out with [14C]pyribenzoxim applied to a sandy loam soil under flooded conditions. The material balance of applied radioactivity ranged from 96.4 to 104.

Degradation of the sulfonylurea herbicide LGC-42153 in flooded soil.

LGC-42153, 2-fluoro-1-[3-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-ylcarbamoylsulfamoyl)pyridin-2-yl]propyl methoxyacetate, is a new sulfonylurea herbicide for use in rice. Its breakdown and metabolism were studied in soil under flooded condition using radioactive tracers labelled at either the propyl group or the pyrimidine ring. The half-life of LGC-42153 was approximately 3.

Degradation of the sulfonylurea herbicide LGC-42153 in flooded soil.

LGC-42153, 2-fluoro-1-[3-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-ylcarbamoylsulfamoyl)pyridin-2-yl] propyl methoxyacetate, is a new sulfonylurea herbicide for use in rice. Its breakdown and metabolism was studied in soil under flooded conditions using two radioactive tracer compounds labelled at either the propyl group or the pyrimidine ring. The half-life of LGC-42153 was approximately 3.
