SHMT-IN-4

SHMT-IN-4 (Compound 9ay) is a selective herbicide targeting serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT1) with an IC50 of 193.8 g a.i./ha. Its mechanism involves inhibiting amino acid synthesis, leading to plant growth suppression. This compound is a valuable research tool for studying plant metabolism and herbicide mechanisms in both in vitro enzymatic assays and in vivo plant studies, showing low toxicity to corn and bees.
