Linuron

Linuron is a phenylurea herbicide. It inhibits the androgenic effect of dihydrotestosterone in MDA-kb2 breast cancer cells (IC20 = 1.74 µM in a reporter assay). Linuron (100 mg/kg) inhibits testosterone-induced growth of the seminal vesicles, ventral prostate, and levator ani and bulbocavernosus muscles in castrated rats. Post-emergent application of linuron to carrots controls the growth of the weeds redroot pigweed and lambsquarters. Formulations containing linuron have been used as herbicides in agriculture.Formal Name: N'-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N-methoxy-N-methyl-urea. CAS Number: 330-55-2. Molecular Formula: C9H10Cl2N2O2.
