4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Herbicides

Pesticides used to destroy unwanted vegetation, especially various types of weeds, grasses (POACEAE), and woody plants. Some plants develop HERBICIDE RESISTANCE. (See all compounds classified as Herbicides.)

In rats linuron is metabolized by demethoxylation followed by hydroxylation of the benzene ring. Major urinary metabolites are urea derivatives; no unchanged linuron could be demonstrated. Only trace amounts of 3,4-dichloroaniline were found. If metabolism to dichloroaniline is major pathway in humans, ... methemoglobinemia should be anticipated after toxic doses.
