Bioactivity | Mesotrione is a herbicide belongs to the benzoylcyclohexanedione family. Mesotrione is a potent and competitive and reversible inhibitor of HPPD enzyme. Mesotrione is selective to maize due to rapid metabolism and relative high tolerance by the susceptible crop plant[1]. |
Target | Target: HPPD enzyme |
Invitro | Mesotrione is a potent HPPD enzyme inhibitor, giving an estimated Ki value in the range 6±18pM at 25°C. HPPD is from Arabidopsis thaliana (L)[1]. |
In Vivo | Mesotrione (oral administration; 1 mg/kg; single dose) is rapidly and extensively absorbed in rats and mice. After a single dose, the urinary excretione is estimated, the urinary excretione estimated absorption values ranged from 62.2% in males and 68.3% in females. The mean peak blood concentration (Cmax) of radioactivity occurred 0.5 hours after dosing in each sex[1]. |
