Metabolite Identification
Common NameLinuron
DescriptionLinuron, also known as afalon, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-phenylureas. N-phenylureas are compounds containing a N-phenylurea moiety, which is structurally characterized by a phenyl group linked to one nitrogen atom of a urea group. It is known to inhibit photosynthesis (photosystem II). Linuron is a weak competitive inhibitor of androgen receptor binding and it inhibits androgen-induced gene expression in vitro. Linuron is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Linuron is a potentially toxic compound. Linuron affects the male reproductive system of the offspring after maternal exposure during mid and late pregnancy. Linuron is an herbicide for the pre- and post-emergence control of annual grass and broad-leaved weeds using selective and systemic action with contact and residual action. This may partially contribute to the malformations of androgen-dependent tissues in male rats. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Linuron is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Linuron is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
