INTRODUCTION: Dma 4 ivm herbicide is a brown liquid. A solution of the dimethylammonium salt of the weak organic acid 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Used as an herbicide. /CHLOROPHENOXY CMPD INCL 2,4-D ESTERS/ EXERT THEIR HERBICIDAL ACTION BY ACTING AS GROWTH HORMONES IN PLANTS. /CHLOROPHENOXY COMPOUNDS/ - Chlorophenoxy acid derivatives are metabolized via participation of the hepatic microsomal mixed- function oxidase system. Thus, administration of 2,4-D amine salt and its butyl ester ... to rats induced the enzyme system (aminopyrine demethylase ... and aniline hydroxylase ... although the degree of induction was substantially lower than that from phenobarbital. Prolonged administration of 2,4- D amine salt (0.1 LD50) showed cumulative effects reflected by both clinical and biochemical changes. Stimulation of mixed-function oxidase system may be one of the methods for reducing toxicological effects of this type of compounds.
