Fluridone is a potent inhibitor of abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis and is used as a herbicide, particularly for the elimination of aquatic plants in reservoirs and irrigation channels[1].
Treatment of kiwifruit wound tissue with Fluridone inhibited the levels of transcription factors AchnMYB41, AchnMYB107 and AchnMYC2 and reduced primary alcohol formation[1]. Fluridone (50 and 100μM) induced the accumulation of phytoene and reduced β-carotene levels in T. aestivum seedlings grown in the dark[2].
Fluridone reduces the hatching success rate of medaka embryos in a dose-dependent manner, with the maximum effective concentration for hatching success being 2.3mg/L. Male and female medaka larvae were acutely exposed to Fluridone for 6 hours. Fluridone at concentrations of 4.2mg/L or higher caused the larvae to become lethargic and exhibit abnormal swimming behavior[3]. Fluridone is acutely toxic to invertebrates and fish, with median lethal concentrations (LC50) of 4.3 ± 3.7 and 10.4 ± 3.9mg/L, respectively[4].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | S. capricornutum cells |
Preparation Method | The concentrations of total colored carotenoid pigments were determined for each Fluridone treatment by a standard spectrophotometric method. |
Reaction Conditions | 1.65, 3.3 and 33μg/L, 48h |
Applications | Concentrations of colored carotenoid pigments in S. capricornutum cells were reduced after 48h exposure, relative to the no Fluridone treatments, to concentrations of Fluridone greater than 3.3μg/L. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male and female Medaka embryos ( < 6h post fertilization) |
Preparation Method | Then 50 healthy embryos were placed in each 50mL Pyrex beakers containing 15mL of Fluridone solution for batch exposure (one beaker per concentration). A 50% (7.5mL) solution was changed at 2 d post exposure (dpe). At 4 dpe, embryos were separated by sex based on the presence of leucophores on males and then transferred into 96-well plates. Each well had one embryo placed inside and contained 200mL of experimental solution. A total of 16 embryos for each sex were used per treatment. More than 80% of the volume in each well was changed every 2 days for the remainder of the experiment. Each embryo was observed daily using a dissecting microscope and recorded for mortality, hatching success, and signs of abnormal development. The experiment was terminated at 14 dpe (4 days in beaker, 10 days in plate), and fish embryos that failed to hatch were counted. |
Dosage form | 0, 0.03, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4mg/L, 14 days |
Applications | Male and female Medaka embryos were exposed to Fluridone for 14 days and showed reduced hatching success in a dose dependent manner. The half maximal effective concentration for the hatching success was 2.3mg/L. |
