Toxicology

Health EffectsSeizures; muscle weakness (post-status epileptic myopathy); convulsions; and even death. (T10)
Toxicity SummaryGlufosinate irreversibly inhibits the enzyme glutamine synthetase, which decreases ammonia detoxification. Increased ammonia levels lead to impairment of photorespiration and photosynthesis in plants. (T10)
Signs and SymptomsNausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that is followed in 24h by impaired respiration. (T10)
Carcinogen ClassificationNo indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).

DefinitionChEBI: Glufosinate-P is a 2-amino-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphoryl]butanoic acid that has S configuration at position 2. A glutamine synthetase inhibitor, it is used (generally as the corresponding ammonium or sodium salts, known as glufosinate-P-ammonium and glufosinate-P-sodium, respectively) as a herbicide to control annual weeds and grasses. It has a role as a herbicide, an EC 6.3.1.2 (glutamate--ammonia ligase) inhibitor and an agrochemical. It is an enantiomer of a (2R)-glufosinate. It is a tautomer of a glufosinate-P zwitterion.
