Acifluorfen-methyl(Cat No.:R069267)is a methyl ester derivative of acifluorfen, a herbicide that inhibits the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase, which plays a key role in chlorophyll synthesis in plants. By disrupting this process, acifluorfen-methyl effectively prevents plant growth, making it useful for controlling broadleaf weeds and certain grasses in agricultural settings. The methyl ester form of acifluorfen enhances its solubility and bioavailability, improving its efficacy as an herbicide. It is also being explored for potential applications in various chemical and biological research areas due to its unique properties and molecular structure.
