Irgarol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

Irgarol is a highly specific and effective inhibitor of photosynthesis. This makes it ideal, combined with its very low water solubility, for use in long-life antifouling coatings for marine applicati ons to prevent the growth of algae.

Uses

Photosystem-II (PSII) herbicide; inhibits photosynthetic electron transport in chloroplasts

Uses

Booster algicide in antifouling paint.

Definition

ChEBI: A diamino-1,3,5-triazine that is 1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine carrying a N-tert-butyl, N'-cyclopropyl and a methylsulfanyl group at position 6.

Metabolic pathway

Metabolism of irgarol 1051 by the fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium proceeds mainly via partial N-dealkylation at the cyclopropylamino group, resulting in a tentatively identified 2-methylthio-4-tert- butylamino-6-amino-1,3,5-triazine.
