Glyphosate-d2

Glyphosate-d2 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of glyphosate (Cay28858) by GC- or LC-MS. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, post-emergence herbicide. It inhibits the activity of 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS, IC50 = 5-7 µM in a cell-free A. aerogenes extract), an enzyme in the shikimate pathway that catalyzes the conversion of shikimic acid to anthranilic acid. Foliar application of glyphosate induces foliage and rhizome necrosis of johnsongrass (S. halepense) when applied at concentrations ranging from 0.56 to 2.24 kg/hectare. It has been found in soil, surface water, and groundwater samples. Formulations containing glyphosate have been used for weed control in agriculture and horticulture.
