| Compound Description | Glyphosate is the active ingredient in weed killer products such as RoundUp™. Glyphosate products are one of the most widely used weed killers worldwide in farms and in home gardens and lawns. These products typically contain glyphosate in combination with other ingredients that help improve the absorption of the glyphosate into the plant. Glyphosate-based formulations are easily bought in most stores. These products can have different combinations of other ingredients or different concentrations of glyphosate.Glyphosate is an odorless white powder. Decomposition begins at approximately 419 °F . pH 2.5. Glyphosate is a phosphonic acid resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of the methyl group of methylphosphonic acid with the amino group of glycine. It is one of the most commonly used herbicides worldwide, and the only one to target the enzyme 5-enolpyruvyl-3-shikimate phosphate synthase . It has a role as an agrochemical, an EC 2.5.1.19 inhibitor and a herbicide. It is a phosphonic acid and a glycine derivative. It is a conjugate acid of a glyphosate and a glyphosate.Glyphosate is a natural product found in Glycine max and Phaseolus vulgaris with data available.Glyphosate is a synthetic organophosphate compound that blocks the activity of enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase and is used as a broad-spectrum pesticide. It is characterized as a volatile, moderately toxic, colorless, odorless crystalline solid or powder, and exposure occurs by inhalation, ingestion, or contact.Glyphosate can cause cancer according to California Labor Code and the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer .Active compound in herbicidal formulations that inhibits 3-PHOSPHOSHIKIMATE 1-CARBOXYVINYLTRANSFERASE.See also: ...
