Disease relevance of Tackle

  • Extracts of E. coli cells transformed with the Arabidopsis PPOX cDNA had high PPOX activity, and this activity was markedly inhibited by acifluorfen, a specific inhibitor of PPOX [1].
  • Effects of UVBR on three selected pesticides (Atrazine, carbaryl and Acifluorfen) and possible induction of phototoxicity are reviewed [2].
  • The interaction of the herbicides acifluorfen and paraquat with the photosynthetic reaction center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides has been studied by NMR relaxation measurements [3].
  • In the present study we show that long term maintenance of murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells in acifluorfen, which is normally toxic to these cells at 5 microM concentration, results in cells that grow at a near normal rate in 100 microM acifluorfen [4].
  • Toxicity tests against Daphnia magna Strauss showed that acifluorfen was not toxic at a concentration of 0.1 mM; however, photoproducts formed after 36 h of UV exposure of the herbicide induced a remarkable toxicity to the test organism [5].

Associations of Tackle with other chemical compounds

  • The photolytic degradations of asulam, triclopyr, acifluorfen, and atrazine were independently compared in air-dried soils and in moist (75% field moisture capacity at 0.33 bar) soils maintained at initial conditions through the use of a specially designed soil photolysis apparatus [16].
  • Diphenyl ether (DPE) herbicides such as acifluorfen inhibit both the plant and mammalian forms of protoporphyrinogen oxidase, a heme biosynthetic enzyme [17].
