Clomazone

Clomazone is an herbicide that reduces chlorophyll and carotenoid levels in plants. It is used to control grasses and broad-leaved weeds but is toxic to certain aquatic wildlife with an LC50 of 7.32 mg/L for silver catfish. It decreases acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain and muscle tissue of the silver catfish (83 and 89% inhibition, respectively) when used at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 mg/L. However, it increases AChE activity in muscle of the teleost fish. Formulations containing clomazone have been used as herbicides in agriculture.Formal Name: 2-[(2-chlorophenyl)methyl]-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone. CAS Number: 81777-89-1.
