Bioactivity | Amiprofos methyl (BAY-NTN 6867) is a phosphoric amide herbicide. Amiprofos methyl is a specific and potent antimicrotubule agent. Amiprofos methyl directly poisons microtubule dynamics in plant cells[1]. | |||||||||
Invitro | Amiprofos methyl (APM) inhibits competitively the binding of [14C]oryzalin to tubulin with a Ki=5 μM. Amiprofos methyl concentrations inhibiting tobacco cell growth were within the threshold range of Amiprofos methyl concentrations that depolymerized cellular microtubules, indicating that growth inhibition is caused by microtubules depolymerization[2]. | |||||||||
