Fluridone is an organic compound that is used as aquatic herbicide often used to control invasive plants. It is used in the United States to control hydrilla and Eurasian watermilfoil among other species. Fluridone is sold as a solution and as a slow release solid because the herbicide level must be maintained for several weeks. The compound is a colorless solid.[1]

The compound was first reported as a possible herbicide for cotton fields in 1976.[2] It was registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1986 and has low toxicity to animals[3] with no restrictions on swimming or drinking in treated water bodies.[4] Fluridone breaks down in the environment over days or weeks with the major degradation product being N-methyl formamide. The half-life of fluridone in soils and sediments is nine months.[5]

Molecular target

Fluridone is a systemic herbicide that works by interfering with carotene formation which leads to chlorophyll degradation.[6] Fluridone and Norflurazon are inhibitors of chloroplastic and cyanobacterial Phytoene desaturase, which in turn disrupts the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway.

Pharmaceutical

Fluridone's main action to disrupt photosynthesis in plants is by preventing the secretion of abscisic acid.[7] As higher eukaryotes, such as humans, also rely on an abscisic acid pathway[8] to create inflammation in normal physiological processes, fluridone could be investigated as being of interest in the development of anti-inflammatory agents.[9]

Biodegradation

Fluridone degrades in soil and upon exposure to sunlight with approximate halflives of 21 and 1 day, respectively.[1]

gollark: I am a VERY qualified economist. I passed a GCSE in it. This was definitely not worthless.

gollark: What happens if farming gets even more automated than now, and you can just trivially produce reasonable amounts of food from a small hydroponics thing? It won't be significantly valuable.

gollark: Food will have nonzero value as long as there are biological humans? Sure. SIGNIFICANT value? No.

gollark: You could also just directly sell goods/services to people, which may turn out to be a more money-efficient use of time.

gollark: Anyway, in case of general good situations, I would get slightly more money. In case of market crashes, I would lose a bit but, at worst, still have bank account money available. In case of civilizational collapse, oh well, I probably have other issues.
