Maleic hydrazide

SKU: orb1705423

Description

Maleic hydrazide is a plant growth regulator that acts as a germination inhibitor by disrupting nucleic acid metabolism and suppressing apical meristem cell division. It is widely used in agricultural research and plant physiology studies, both in vivo and in vitro, to investigate growth control and dormancy mechanisms.

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  In previous studies, the toxicity of ethephon and maleic hydrazide, which are used as plant growth regulators in agriculture, was reported to be low in mammals. In this study, the cytotoxicity of these compounds was investigated in Vero (African green monkey kidney epithelial), HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), and Hep2 (human epidermoid carcinoma) cells by MTT and LDH assays. Maleic hydrazide showed lower IC50 values against all cell lines compared to ethephon.
